ProTech Bearing Isolators are unitized two-piece, dynamic seals.The permanently assembled rotor and stator utilize labyrinth technology for complete lubricant retention and contaminant exclusion, thereby extending bearing life -- with zero shaft wear. Bearing isolators are an upgrade from standard lip seals, however when one considers the total cost of the sealing system over …
Abstract. Although the leakage flow through labyrinth seals under stationary conditions has been examined by many investigators a reliable prediction of the effect of various labyrinth parameters on leakage rate has not been reported so far. The theoretical models for the seals proposed in most of the previous literature provided results with ...

Labyrinth seals are usually the first barrier of protection and help prevent bearing failure. In complex sealing systems when a contact seal is required, using our non-contact labyrinth seal before the contact seal will boost the …
Our rotary seals and radial lip seals are designed to seal fluids, gases, oil, grease, oil mist, vacuum or other media on rotating equipment, including rotating or oscillating shafts, rods, tubes or bores. We offer rotary seals specially designed for applications, including: High- and medium-pressure sealing Low friction and low energy consumption
A second innovation proved revolutionary: System Seals created a helical-style seal that redirects leaking lubricant back toward the raceway as the turbine spins. The auger seal, as it was dubbed, was a stroke of genius that caused a global wind turbine manufacturer to retrofit all of its labyrinth designs with the new seal.
Mechanical seals: This type of pressurized seal generally uses air purges that are stronger than the force of the air pressure inside the rotary valve to keep materials away from the seal. Labyrinth air purge seals use scrolled …

Seals for SNL plummer block housings The SNL contact seal design is ideal for applications where better sealing is needed than provided by a labyrinth seal and where space does not allow a taconite seal. Most suited to speeds up to 6 m/s, these seals can also be used with the sealed SKF Cooper split spherical roller bearing.
Rotary Drum Seals The sealing mechanism on a rotary dryer, cooler, kiln, or granulator is essential to maintaining optimal performance and efficiency. As a result, the replacement of worn seals can often improve process efficiency …
A labyrinth seal is a type of mechanical seal that provides a tortuous path to help prevent leakage. An example of such a seal is sometimes found within an axle's bearing to help prevent the leakage of the oil lubricating the bearing.. A labyrinth seal may be composed of many grooves that press tightly inside another axle, or inside a hole, so that the fluid has to pass …
Vanseal has developed several rotary shaft seal designs that feature a special rubber OD (outside diameter) and formed PTFE lip. ... Labyrinth Type Seals; V-Rings; Exclusion face seals; AG rotary seal for irrigation applications. AG …
The labyrinth seal is a cost-effective option with a relative leakage of >> 1.0. This seal provides a torturous path for the ambient air by means of close clearance between the rotating seal ring and the stationary housing. With this …

A labyrinth seal is a type of mechanical seal that provides a tortuous path to help prevent leakage. …. Labyrinth seals on rotating shafts provide non-contact sealing action by controlling the passage of fluid through a variety of chambers by centrifugal motion, as well as by the formation of controlled fluid vortices.
For many years, we have been developing and testing seals in house to meet the unique challenges presented by the preparation, processing and dispensing of food and beverages. In addition to conforming to FDA 21 CFR 177.1680, we have designs for food-contact seals that are also suitable for the following: Clean In Place (CIP)
