Better Operations with Unitized Seal Design
Building reliable rotary shaft equipment begins by regarding the assembly as a sealing system. The system includes the shaft, seal-bore, sealed media and the seal. Every element must work in concert with one another for the assembly to successfully function. If the shaft finish is wrong, or the system vibrates because of misalignment, the seal can’t do its job. Continue reading
