Overview
The Flex-A-Seal SK1017 is a Style 17 single-spring mechanical seal component designed with an O-ring energy mechanism for reliable, long-term pump sealing performance. Flex-A-Seal Style 17 seals are sturdy single spring component seals suitable for centrifugal and positive displacement pump applications where component-level replacement or service is required. The SK1017 variant integrates a spring-energized O-ring assembly that maintains consistent face load across operating conditions.
This is a replacement component seal—not a complete assembly—and is intended for maintenance technicians and engineers who rebuild or service existing mechanical seal units in industrial pumping systems.
Key Features
- Single-spring design simplifies installation and adjustment in field service scenarios
- O-ring style energization provides stable sealing force across pressure variations
- Component-level design allows targeted replacement without full seal reassembly
- Compatible with standard pump seal gland dimensions and mounting interfaces
- Spring material and elastomer composition engineered for chemical and thermal resistance
