Vulcan Multi-Spring Seals

Introduction Vulcan Multi-Spring Seals

Vulcan’s extensive 16XX range of Multi-Sprung Seals are commonly specified for arduous applications, such as corrosive process fluids or demanding operating parameters. The standard designs are available with a chemically resistant PTFE wedge component, which is spring loaded to force the flexible angular lip of the wedge into tight contact with the shaft.

The same spring force impacts a sufficient load to the rotary face to create a suitable seal interface with a varied choice of standard stationary seats, most commonly our Type 25 V Seat. Balanced face designs are also available for higher duty applications. ‘O’-Ring variants, of both balanced and nonbalanced Types, are available as standard. All the seal faces and wedges interchange with most common competitor designs by fitting into their retainers.

Applications

The 16XX family range are ideally suited for corrosive duties and are commonly utilised in the chemical industry, due to the inertness and sealing nature of the wedge design. These seals are also very suitable for a wide spectrum of application conditions. Their operating suitability range is enhanced by the ‘O’-Ring alternative design and the wide range of available elastomers.

Standard Vulcan 16XX Types Type 1609 Series Standard multi-sprung, grub screwed seal, available in a wide variety of face and secondary seal, materials and designs. Type 1659 Series As above, but compact design complies to DIN 24960 (EN12756) and ISO 3069 standards. Type 1645 Series Thin profiled, multi-sprung, grub screwed seal, conforming to ANSI B73 for American standard equipment.

Vulcan Wave Spring Type Seals

Vulcan Wave Spring Type Seals Introduction :-

The Vulcan Wave Spring Range of Bi-Directional mechanical seals offer proven design and wave spring technology, in a multitude of material combinations, with superior designs but at very competitive pricing.

Applications :-

This range was specifically designed for rotary lobe pumps, whose principle application is normally for liquids of high viscosity. These are commonly found in the food, dairy, brewery and pharmaceutical industries. Their compact design makes these seals an excellent choice for confined stuffing boxes areas or even external mounted applications

Standard Wave Spring Spring Types 1. Type 1688
2. Type 1677
3. Type 1688L
4. Type 1682
5. Type 1678
1.Type 1688

The robust wave spring seal is ideally suited for standard, rotary lobe pump, stuffing boxes, of compact design. The seal is positively driven by grub screws and supplied from Vulcan with monolithic hard face materials as our standard.

2. Type 1677

The Type 1677 is a positively, bi-direction driven wave spring seal, utilising crest to crest wave spring technology, offering excellent axial movement capabilities. The seal is radially compacted and designed to suit DIN 24960 (EN12756). The design of this seal head, enables easy replacement of a wide range of high quality materials and elastomers, supplied as standard.

3. Type 1688L

As above but supplied with a Type 24 DINL pinned stat, to suit DIN standard housing dimensions.

4. Type 1682

A wave spring seal to suit standard rotary lobe pumps. The Type 1682 is similar in design to the Type 1688 but is driven directly from the grub screws.

5. Type 1678

Designed as per the Type 1677 but with a stepped face, to provide a balanced seal for stepped shafts.
