  • John Crane Type 1
  • AES Type 1
  • Flowserve (Durametallic) Type 1
  • Chesterton 155

FAQs

The main difference is that the Type 1 uses an elastomer bellows to provide axial movement, while the Type 2 uses multiple springs. The Type 1 therefore has a simpler, more clog-resistant design.

No, the Type 1 seal is designed to run with liquid lubrication between the seal faces. Dry running will lead to rapid overheating and seal failure.
