TFM Helical Spring Energized Seal

Spring energized seals can be manufactured in various shapes, sizes, and materials, making them useful for a wide range of applications.

Product Details

Spring energized seals are used in mechanical systems to prevent leakage of fluids or gases. They are used to seal pump shafts, mixer shafts, and other rotating equipment in industrial settings. In this guide, we will discuss the proper installation method for spring-loaded energy storage seals.

Step 1- Preparation:

Before installing the spring energized seal, ensure that the shaft and the bore are clean and free from any debris. The shaft diameter and the seal bore should be polished to remove any sharp edges. Any burrs or roughness on the shaft or bore can cause damage to the seal lip or spring.

Step 2- Installing the Casing:

Next, install the casing into the bore. The casing should be pressed firmly into place until it is flush with the bore. Ensure that the casing is not too tight or too loose, as this can cause the seal to leak.

Step 3- Lubrication:

Before installing the seal, ensure that it is properly lubricated. Use a light oil or silicone grease to lubricate the seal and the shaft. This will help to reduce friction and prevent damage to the seal.

Step 4- Installing the Seal:

The final step is to install the spring-loaded energy storage seal. Hold the seal by the casing and slide it over the shaft until it rests on the O-ring. Then, use a soft mallet to gently tap the casing into the bore until it is seated. Ensure that the seal is installed squarely and that the spring is properly compressed.
