Technologies behind mechanical seals

The mechanical seal technology is a sum of mechanical engineering and physical property technology due to the above-mentioned functions and applications. More specifically, the core of the mechanical seal technology is the tribology (friction, wear and lubrication) technology used to control the surfaces where the stationary and rotary rings rub (slide) against each other.

Mechanical seals with improved functionality will not only prevent the liquid or gas handled by a machine from leaking to the outside, but also improve machine operating efficiency, thereby helping achieve energy saving and prevent environmental contamination. Moreover, in some cases, rotating machines handle media that, in the case of leakage, can lead to a dangerous accident. Therefore, mechanical seals are required to be highly reliable through manufacturing backed by solid engineering expertise.

These functions and roles will make mechanical seals increasingly important functional parts in the future. Their further technical innovation is anticipated. To positively respond to these expectations, Eagle Industry is working on technical research and development every day.
