Vulcan Wave Spring Type Seals
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 16882. 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 1677The 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 1688LAs above but supplied with a Type 24 DINL pinned stat, to suit DIN standard housing dimensions.
4. Type 1682A 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 1678Designed as per the Type 1677 but with a stepped face, to provide a balanced seal for stepped shafts.

Why Mechanical Seals ?
One of the most important advantages of the mechanical seal is its low leakage rate, resulting in a cost saving because of the reduxtion in lost liquid.
The hazards of fire and personal injury are also reduced when the pumps are handling inflammable or toxic products. Simplified pump designs and reduced maintenance costs are also plus factors.

The Most Common Seal Consists of a stationary flat seat which is mounted into a gland or seal chamber, a spring loaded rotating face and a static seal along the shaft. The spring holds the rotating face to the stationary face and sealing occurs between the parallel faces. The static seals stop leakage between the shaft and the rotating seak head and also behind the stationary seat. The faces of the Mechanical Seal in operation do not actually rub against each other, but are separated by a thin lubricating film a few molecules thick. This can account for the slight weepage from some seals that are operating satisfactorily.
Most Seal applications will runs years with little or no maintenance. Time formerly spent on adjustment of packing can be used elsewhere.

General Service of Metal Bellows
Metal Bellows seals can seal with Flexible Graphite instead of a rubber boot or O-Ring Elastomers allowing it to be used in higher temperature applications. No Springs to clog.
Metal Bellows seals are a very effective method of maintaining Mechanical Seal face pressure on the seal face.
Because the O-Ring is static it will not wear on the shaft. When installed correctly metal bellows seals will provide exceptionally long service. Metal bellows seals are and excellent solution on chemical applications where Kalrez, Chemrez,Viton, FKM, Buna, Aflas or EPDM are not compatible.
For many years an inexpensive form of metal bellows seals have been used very successfully in the waste water / sewage industry and in the agricultural fields pumping irrigation water. These Mechanical Seals were generally made of a formed bellows rather than a welded bellows. Welded bellows seals are much stronger and have superior flex and recovery characteristics which are more ideal to holding seal faces together but cost more to manufacture. Welded metal bellows seals are less prone to metal fatigue and are available in single and double ply.
