German SGL seals SGL models SGL prices

SGL seals are sealing devices installed to prevent leakage between the pump shaft and the housing. Common shaft seal types include packing seals, mechanical seals, and power seals. The shaft seal of a reciprocating pump is usually a packing seal. When transporting media where leakage is not permitted, a diaphragm reciprocating pump can be used. The shaft seals of rotary pumps (including vane pumps, rotor pumps, etc.) mainly include packing seals, mechanical seals, and power seals.

SGL seal features

1) No need to measure the seal working length during installation; 2) The shaft can be adjusted at any time; 3) No leakage occurs at startup because the seal has been pre-tested; 4) During installation, only the tightening bolts of the seal cover need to be fitted, making it easy to ensure assembly quality; 5) Protects the sealing surfaces from contamination by debris or damage due to operational errors before installation or startup; 6) Can be readjusted after thermal expansion of the machinery; 7) Self-centering through fit; 8) Easy to remove the seal for cleaning and inspection without disassembling the pump equipment. The API682 standard recommends cartridge mechanical seals for all mechanical seals.

SGL seal startup preparation

1) Comprehensively check whether the mechanical seal, auxiliary devices, and pipeline installations are complete and comply with technical requirements. 2) Perform a static pressure test on the mechanical seal before startup to check for leakage. If there is significant leakage, identify the cause and eliminate it. If this is ineffective, disassemble, inspect, and reinstall. The static test pressure is generally 2~3 kg/cm². 3) Rotate the pump according to its direction of rotation to check if it moves lightly and evenly. If rotation is difficult or stuck, check whether the assembly dimensions are incorrect or the installation is unreasonable.

SGL seal troubleshooting

1) Main factors causing oil seal leakage: Poor sealing of the oil seal is the primary factor causing leakage. When the shaft wears and forms grooves, even replacing it with a new oil seal may not achieve proper sealing. This is due to reduced contact pressure between the oil seal lip and the shaft, resulting in insufficient interference fit between the installed oil seal lip diameter and the shaft diameter. Taking the S195 diesel engine crankshaft oil seal as an example, the main reasons for poor sealing are analyzed as follows: (1) Poor manufacturing quality of the oil seal; (2) Poor quality of the shaft or bearing; (3) Improper use and maintenance; (4) Improper installation; (5) Improper storage, leading to adverse effects from environmental contamination. 2) Countermeasures for leakage due to poor oil seal sealing: Acquire basic knowledge to identify counterfeit and inferior products, and purchase high-quality, standard-compliant oil seals. During installation, if the outer surface of the shaft diameter has low roughness or defects such as rust spots, corrosion, or burrs, polish it smooth with fine sandpaper or an oil stone. Apply clean engine oil or lubricating grease to the oil seal lip or the corresponding position on the shaft diameter. Apply sealant to the outer ring of the oil seal. Wrap the keyway area on the shaft with hard paper to avoid scratching the oil seal lip. Use special tools to rotate and press the oil seal inward. Never hammer or force it in, to prevent deformation of the oil seal or breakage of the spring, which would cause failure. If lip flipping, spring detachment, or oil seal skewing occurs, it must be removed and reinstalled. Note: Do not arbitrarily tighten the inner spring when the shaft diameter is not worn and the oil seal spring tension is sufficient. Oil seals used in machinery generally operate under harsh conditions, with large environmental temperature differences, abundant dust, and frequent vibration causing constantly changing stress on components. Therefore, frequent inspection, maintenance, and servicing are required. If the shaft diameter and bearing are severely worn, or if the oil seal rubber is aged or the spring has failed, repair and replace the corresponding parts promptly. Troubleshoot abnormal heating in components or assemblies immediately. Avoid overspeeding and overloading the machinery to prevent increased temperature at the oil seal lip, rubber aging, and premature lip wear. Regularly check the engine oil level. If the engine oil contains excessive impurities, such as alloy powder or metal iron filings, completely replace it with new oil. The brand and quality of the replacement oil must meet seasonal requirements. It is recommended to add Metraile Super Sealant & Lubricant to the engine oil. It is an excellent gearbox additive that forms an inert material film on components, which can reduce oil seal leakage, extend the service life of oil seal gears, and reduce gearbox noise. The use of this Metraile super sealant lubricant will not contaminate the oil or cause deterioration.
