1) For more detailed data refer to mechanical seals
manufacturer's literature
2) Seal face = spring loaded axially sliding ring of
the mechanical seal
3) Flexible elements are seals which seat the
rotating components on the shaft/shaft sleeve and
the stationary components in the seal housing/end
cover, including a bellows when applicable
4) For bellows seals any component missing should be
designated with a dash "-" |
