Multi-Spring Mechanical Seals

Multi-spring pusher seals for process, chemical and hot-water pumps, in balanced and unbalanced versions. The models below are the standard ones in our catalog; we build most other multi-spring seals too.

Not on the list? We build most multi-spring seals of any brand, in standard or special sizes: send the seal part number, a drawing or the old seal. All are equivalents, not sold as genuine OEM parts.

Drawings & dimensions

Drawings and dimension tables

Dimensions in mm unless a table says inches. Inch sizes are named by the nominal shaft size in inches; d1 gives the same size in mm. Letters match the section drawing. Standard sizes shown; other sizes are built from a drawing or the old seal.

FAQ

Multi-Spring Seal FAQ

My seal is not in the table. Can you still make it?

Yes. The catalog shows our standard sizes; we build most other multi-spring seals from a drawing, a part number or the old seal. To quote, send the seal part number, a drawing or the old seal.

Balanced or unbalanced?

An unbalanced seal suits low stuffing-box pressure; once pressure climbs, a balanced seal runs cooler and lasts longer. See balanced vs unbalanced seals.

Single spring or multi-spring?

Several small springs give even face loading in a short axial length; a single large spring tolerates clogging fluids better. See multiple spring mechanical seals.
