    摘要: The invention relates to a mechanical seal arrangement comprising a mechanical seal (10) including a rotating slide ring (2) and a stationary slide ring (3), defining a seal gap (4) therebetween, a one-piece, ring-shaped slide ring carrier (5), which holds the stationary slide ring (3), a one-piece, ring-shaped cover (6), which is arranged on the slide ring carrier (5), a one-piece, ring-shaped housing (7), which is detachably fixed to the cover (6) using fixing device (8), and a one-piece first retaining ring (9), which is detachably arranged on the slide ring carrier (5), wherein the stationary slide ring (3) is clamped between the first retaining ring (9) and the cover (6), and wherein the slide ring carrier (5) is connected to the slide ring carrier (5) by means of at least one elastic biasing member (19) such that the slide ring carrier (5) can perform movements in the axial direction of the mechanical seal arrangement together with the stationary slide ring (3).

    摘要: The rotary face seal with magnet loading replaces known spring mechanisms with magnetic technology that provides a consistent load with minimal variation, which is not affected by natural frequency and material fatigue due to cyclic loading. This improves seal performance and service life. The tubular magnetic ring is advantageous because it replaces existing seals within stationary cartridge with a puller type magnetic assembly design that results with the stationary cartridges being an exact exchange. The use of magnetic technology attached to the outside diameter of the rotating mating ring, which is attached to the shaft, that does not produce eddy currents because it is of a single pole configuration. The single pole magnetic assembly design is achieved by either axial or radial magnet orientation, such as in the form of a tubular magnetic band locating in a circumferential notch in the rotating mating ring.

    摘要: A sliding component includes a pair of seal rings which are arranged to rotate relative to each other. The seal rings have sliding surfaces, respectively, which are facing each other. The sliding surfaces are provided with: a land continuously extending in a circumferential direction; inward recessed portions recessed in an axial direction, extending to a radially inner side, and open to the radially inner side; and outward recessed portions recessed in the axial direction, extending to a radially outer side, and open to the radially outer side.

    摘要: A seal arrangement is described for providing a seal between a rotatable shaft and a housing having a wall through which the shaft extends. The seal arrangement includes, in series, a mechanical seal and a gland seal. The mechanical seal is positioned axially inwardly of the gland seal such that the mechanical seal forms a first stage or primary seal and the gland seal forms a secondary seal.

    摘要: A method of determining wear of a seal element includes rotating a seal plate relative to the seal element and such that the seal plate and the seal element form a rotational sealing interface. The seal element includes an insert embedded in the seal element. A portion of the seal element is worn with a sealing face of the seal plate. The insert is contacted with the sealing face of the seal plate. A portion of the insert is worn to create a wear particle of the insert. The presence of the wear particle in a lubrication oil is sensed with an oil monitoring system.

    摘要: An assembly is provided for rotational equipment. This assembly includes a stationary structure, a rotating structure, a seal element and an anti-rotation lock. The rotating structure is rotatable about an axis. The rotating structure is configured as or otherwise includes a seal land. The seal element is configured to seal a gap between the stationary structure and the seal land. The seal element extends circumferentially about the axis. The seal element axially contacts the seal land. The anti-rotation lock projects radially into the stationary structure and the seal element. The anti-rotation lock is configured to at least substantially prevent rotation of the seal element relative to the stationary structure.

    摘要: An assembly is provided for rotational equipment. This assembly includes a first component, a static structure, a guide rail and a second component. The static structure includes a static structure fluid passage. The guide rail is mounted to the static structure. The guide rail includes a guide rail fluid passage and a nozzle. The guide rail fluid passage fluidly couples the static structure fluid passage to a nozzle orifice of the nozzle. The nozzle is configured to direct fluid onto the first component through the nozzle orifice. The second component is mated with and configured to translate along the guide rail.

    摘要: A mechanical seal assembly adapted for arrangement around a rotating shaft of a rotating device and has first and a second seal rings. The assembly also includes an annular carrier having a base and a removable end portion configured to be affixed to a housing of the rotating device. The assembly also includes an annular flexible sealing membrane. The membrane includes an outer portion arrangeable between the first seal ring and a biasing mechanism and that is axially shiftable relative to the rotating shaft. The membrane also includes an inner portion surrounded by the outer portion and positioned between the base and the removable end portion of the annular carrier and the base and a removable end portions hold the inner portion in fixed relative to the annular carrier as the outer portion shifts relative to the rotating shaft.
