Overview
The Flex-A-Seal Style 17 SK1017 Rev. 2 is a single-spring mechanical shaft seal engineered for reliable performance in industrial rotating equipment. The single spring design keeps the sealing faces in contact and positively transmits the drive evenly 360° around the full circumference of the rotary face. This design ensures consistent pressure across the seal interface, minimizing leakage and extending service life.
Key Features
- Single-spring component design with specially designed spring ends that provide an interference fit, which further increases their grip as the shaft rotates
- Compression spring wound either right or left hand depending on shaft rotation
- Designed for maximum temperature, pressure, and speed operating extremes
- Proven reliability in pump, motor, and mechanical seal cartridge applications
- Compatible with customizable material configurations to suit specific fluid and operating conditions
