Seal failure is often a symptom of an underlying problem within the pump.
Look out for these common pitfalls, and don’t assume that a lubrication leak means a seal failure.
End users can request a prototype sample to test the thermoplastic’s suitability in a given application.
Externally pressurized porous gas bearings are being applied in seal applications for rotating equipment.
Lower coupling restoring forces can increase bearing and seal life.
Many of these factors relate to the ongoing instability in various parts of Europe, but in today’s interconnected global economy, innumerable current events and trends can impact the marketplace.
If the old saying “Build something better and people will buy it” is correct, then a new bearing housing design will be of interest to those focused on reliability.
Alternative bearing options can enhance reliability and increase energy efficiency.
