AES Single Seals (AES SCUSI)

A short externally mounted cartridge seal, with flush ports and self-aligning faces. With the aid of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), a range of seals were designed to optimize the use of Silicon Carbide. This third generation seal incorporates an improved self-aligning concept and prevents shock damage to Silicon Carbide on start-up, which is the most significant reason for Silicon Carbide damage in other seal designs.

In addition, the spring loaded rotary centrifuges solids away from the seal face and resists clogging, increasing the range of general service applications to include slurries and some abrasives. Faces remain flat, square to the shaft and suspended solids are prevented from crossing the flat seal faces.
