This Story  Contains 5  main types of mechanical seal

Single Mechanical Seal

The single mechanical seal consists  of two flat faces, one rotating with  the shaft and the other stationary,  pressed together to create a seal.  It is the most basic type of  mechanical seal and is commonly  used in applications with low to  moderate pressures and temperatures.

Double Mechanical Seal

A double mechanical seal, also known as a dual or tandem mechanical seal, consists of two sets of sealing faces separated by a barrier or buffer fluid. This design provides an additional level of safety and is commonly used in applications where leakage cannot be tolerated, such as handling toxic or hazardous fluids.

Cartridge Mechanical Seal

The cartridge mechanical seal is a pre-assembled unit containing all the components needed for sealing. It simplifies installation and maintenance as the entire unit can be easily replaced when necessary. Cartridge seals are commonly used in pumps and other rotating equipment

Split Mechanical Seal

The split mechanical seal is designed for applications where it is challenging to disassemble the equipment to install a conventional seal. It comes in two parts that can be installed around the shaft without removing it, making it suitable for retrofitting in existing equipment.

Metal Bellow Mechanical Seal

The metal bellow seal uses a metallic bellow instead of an elastomeric o-ring or spring to provide flexibility for compensating shaft movement and misalignment. This type of seal is suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
