Gear Pumps with Variseal
The Variseal
R
is a single-direction shaft seal. It consists of an asymmetric
U-shaped sealing body, tensed and held in place by a V-shaped steel
spring. To prevent the seal from turning, it has a bracing flange that is
clamped in place axially when installed.
Variseals are fixed in place on the gear pump with a flange. If material
escapes along the shaft, the Variseal must be replaced.
