• THE IMPORTANCE OF MECHANICAL SEALS
• In a pump or machine, mechanical seal plays a
  vital role. It prevents the fluid entering into
  the electrical system which can cause damage to
  it.
• If you look at the variety of seals, then you
  have an extensive list balanced seal, unbalanced
  seal, rotating seal, stationary seal, vertically
  mounted, horizontally mounted and so on.
• Amongst all, the rotating seal is most commonly
  used when the component that the spring seal
  holds rotates with the shaft.

• TYPES OF MECHANICAL SEALS
• The stationary seal is used when the component
  that the spring seal holds remains stationary in
  the gland plate.
• An unbalanced seal is used when the spring
  pressure pushes the faces of the seal apart due
  to the wedge-shaped force is created by the
  stuffing box.
• A balanced seal is useful when the spring
  pressure and face load reduce, and the stuffing
  box pressure closes the seal faces.
• It is important that the quality of the
  different mechanical seal is outstanding. Also,
  the appropriate seal should be selected that
  suits the function.

• BENEFITS OF USING THE RIGHT SEAL
• It is needless to mention that stopping the
  liquid from entering into the vital electrical
  system is a critical function of mechanical
  seals. They keep the pump functioning in a
  leak-free manner.
• Mechanical seals are far more superior and
  efficient than packing seals.
• Here are some unique benefits
• When there is a fewer fluid loss in the machine,
  the chances of pump failure are rare. Hence, you
  save on repair and maintenance costs. It reduces
  operating cost.
• Seals prevent accidents happening due to the
  sudden leakage of the fluid. Also, they reduce
  the probability of incidents of falling and
  slips. If the pump houses toxic chemicals, then
  the seal reduces the chances of leakage.  Thus,
  mechanical seals ensure higher safety in
  operations.

• Though there is a minimal leakage, it is
  acceptable if it is half a tablespoon in 24 hours
  under the normal operating conditions. Experts
  call it healthy leakage. It is not visible
  leak. Usually machines condense and recapture the
  lost air.
• Due to the unique mechanism, the inboard spring,
  mechanical seals have the capability of adjusting
  to several faces of wear. Therefore, the seal
  works normally, and the need for daily
  maintenance also reduces.
• Today, mechanical seals have replaced all other
  seals because of their high efficiency and
  performance. Good-quality seals require less
  maintenance. They work relentlessly year after
  year.
