Mechanical Face Seals are a special form of mechanical seals. They are also known under other designations, such as lifetime seals, floating seals, duo cone seals, toric seals and heavy duty seals. Type DO, which is characterized by the use of an O-Ring as the secondary sealing element. The seals consist of two metallic seal rings. They are mounted in separate housing face to face. The elastomeric elements center the seal in the housing. There are two tapered cones in the housing and at the O.D. of the seal. The taper increases with the depth of the bore due to the different grade of the cones. The housing shape can normally be machined on a NC machine tool. Viton o-ring material is better able to withstand high temperature, while simultaneously retaining its good mechanical properties.
