Mechanical Face Seals
Mechanical face seals, also known as floating seals or duo cone seals in many industrial contexts, are heavy-duty sealing solutions for rotating equipment operating in highly contaminated and abrasive environments.
These seals consist of two metal rings energized with a rubber O-Ring. The metal rings are made of alloy steel (hot forge with high strength and heat treated). These seals are widely used in severe-duty mobile and industrial applications where conventional sealing solutions may not offer enough protection.
3D Seals has on offer, Standard Mechanical Face Seals, for use of tracked vehicles used in earthmoving, construction, agricultural and defence industries.
