Marine Mechanical Seals

Marine mechanical seals are specialized sealing devices used in marine applications to prevent leakage and contamination in shipboard machinery and equipment. These seals are designed to withstand the harsh marine environment, including exposure to saltwater, extreme temperatures, and high pressure.There are different types of marine mechanical seals available, including lip seals, face seals, and labyrinth seals. Lip seals are used in low-pressure applications and consist of a flexible lip that comes in contact with the shaft surface. Face seals are used in high-pressure applications and consist of two flat faces that are held together by spring pressure. Labyrinth seals are non-contact seals that use a series of interlocking grooves to prevent leakage.
