There are two types of water pump seals, namely packing or mechanical seals. The sealing material is selected according to the actual needs of the working conditions. Generally, packing seals are selected. Common materials include carbon fiber, ramie fiber, and aramid fiber
Each mechanical seal can only function effectively within the specified range. Improper selection will significantly reduce sealing performance, shorten service life, or even cause failure.
The material selection of mechanical seals depends on the specific use conditions and performance requirements. The following are several common mechanical seal materials:
The properties of commonly used materials are as follows:
For critical applications, particularly in regulated industries or environments where performance is non-negotiable, OEM seals offer a level of assurance that aftermarket alternatives may not match.
OEM pump mechanical seals are a critical component in the functionality and reliability of pumping systems. Understanding their role, how they work, and their importance can help businesses make informed decisions about pump maintenance and upgrades.
