Sealed and delivered
16 Jul 2004
Walkersele radial lip seals from James Walker are now available with the lip-energising spring encased in elastomer and cured in position using the company's new SpringSafe method.
This is said to give plant operators peace of mind that the spring is correctly located during seal installation - and can't be readily dislodged to create secondary damage if a shaft or bearing runs beyond its operating limit.
SpringSafe also cuts downtime, as the seal is easier to install with the spring fixed in position, especially when fitting in a blind housing.
Currently available on endless-type seals for shaft diameters of 250mm and above, Walkersele SpringSafe has typical applications such as on rolling mills, process mixers and rotary kilns.
