Taper Spring Seals

Taper Spring Seals

Taper spring seals are component mechanical seals designed with a single tapered or conical spring that drives the rotary head and maintains controlled sealing face contact in pumps and rotating equipment.

This seal design is commonly used where compact construction, reliable spring-driven face loading and dependable leakage control are required in standard-duty pump applications. Taper spring seals are widely applied as conical spring seals or single spring mechanical seals for replacement use in water, sewage, chemical and submersible pumps.

Taper spring seals are commonly used in:

• water pumps
• sewage pumps
• submersible pumps
• chemical pumps
• general process pumps
• rotating industrial equipment

These seals are typically selected where buyers need:

• compact component seal design
• reliable spring-driven face loading
• dependable leakage control
• straightforward replacement support
• practical sealing performance in standard-duty industrial duty

Depending on application, taper spring seals may be used as:

• conical spring seals
• single spring mechanical seals
• pump-specific replacement seals
• equivalent replacement component seals

To specify the correct taper spring seal, provide:

• shaft size
• seal chamber or housing dimensions
• equipment type
• fluid handled
• operating pressure and temperature
• speed and duty conditions
• existing seal sample or drawing if replacing
