Simrit seals for jet engine applications

Simrit seals for jet engine applicationsSegmented seals for the main shaftCircumferential segmented seals are designed for gas sealing applications.The most common of these are for main shaft seals in jet aircraft enginesand gas turbines. Simrit’s segmented circumferential seals also serve awide range of applications in rotating machinery such as compressors,blowers, etc. Circumferential segmented seals are ideal for high performanceequipment where large axial shaft movements, space requirements,weight reduction, and/or efficiency are major concerns. The seals arecomprised of a set of segmented carbon rings which contact the shaft(or runner) to form a circumferential dynamic seal.Compact mechanical seals for gearboxes and accessoriesCompact mechanical seals are stationary, “face” type seals designed fora variety of applications: aircraft engine accessory gearboxes and mainshafts, hydraulic pumps, starters, compressors, industrial generators, andother high-speed rotating machinery. Based on customer applicationrequirements and in reference to extensive material testing from Simrit, awide spectrum of materials and designs are available. Simrit also offerscustom-engineered seal configurations that have been developed assealing solutions for a wide range of particular operating conditions.ACTISEAL® for hot sections and fuel linesACTISEAL is a static metal seal which prevents the passage, flow, orleakage of a gas or fluid. Static sealing takes place between surfaceswhich have little or no movement relative to one another. Our metallicseals provide robust seal integrity for many demanding sealing problemsin a variety of industries. ACTISEAL products have a substantial trackrecord of success in solving leakage problems with several seal typesavailable.ACTISEAL–C enables tight leakage control with a lighter compressionload than a traditional metal O-ring.ACTISEAL–E and ACTISEAL–W both provide excellent capabilities forlarge flange deflections.www.simrit.com© 2011 Simrit
