Features
- Cartridge
- Balanced
- Independent of direction of rotation
- Stationary multiple springs
- Springs and pin located on the atmospheric side
Advantages
- Extremely short length design –
the total length including the seal cover is less than 50 mm - Easy installing on the pumps without modifying the stuffing box
- Excellent followability due to no influence from run-out, squareness or vibration of the shaft
- Mounted outside the stuffing box for providing excellent air cooling performance
- Un-wetted springs and knock pins for protecting from lockout by liquid
