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
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.
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.
