About Single Coil Spring Seal
Single Coil Spring Seal
Our comprehensive range of single coil spring seals when fitted with pumps, mixers, agitators and equipment with rotating shafts are used for various applications in water, oil and alkali purposes. These seals function independent of direction of rotation. Special material can be offered to meet specific requirements. Its non-clogging, single coil spring provides greater dependability than multiple spring design. These seals function independent of direction of rotation and is designed for reducing the operating costs and eliminating the product contamination.

FAQs of Single Coil Spring Seal:
Q: How is a single coil spring seal installed on pumps or mixers?
A: Single coil spring seals are designed for inside-mounted unbalanced or cartridge-type installation, depending on your equipment. Simple assembly allows for quick fitting on shafts ranging from 12 mm to 100 mm, making it suitable for various pumps, compressors, agitators, and mixers.
Q: What benefits does a conical or helical coil spring design offer?
A: The conical or helical coil design ensures consistent axial loading on the seal faces, maintaining effective contact and reducing leakage risk. This contributes to reliable performance even at high speeds (up to 3000 RPM) and pressures (up to 10 bar).
Q: When should I choose specific seal face materials like Silicon Carbide or Tungsten Carbide?
A: Silicon Carbide and Tungsten Carbide seal faces are preferred in highly abrasive or corrosive applications, such as chemical processing or water treatment. They provide superior wear resistance and longevity, especially under demanding operating conditions.
Q: Where are single coil spring seals commonly used?
A: These seals are widely used across chemical, petrochemical, water treatment, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries in India. Their robust design and versatile material compatibility make them suitable for various industrial processes.
Q: What is the process for maintaining a single coil spring seal?
A: Routine maintenance involves inspecting seal faces and elastomer components for wear or chemical degradation. The simple design facilitates easy disassembly and replacement, reducing maintenance time and ensuring long-term reliability.
Q: How does this seal prevent leakage and resist corrosion?
A: This seal employs high-performance materials such as stainless steel, PTFE, and advanced elastomers for excellent resistance to chemicals and wear. The carefully matched seal faces and precise spring loading ensure tight sealing and effective leakage control throughout its service life.
Q: What are the key benefits of using a single coil spring seal in industrial applications?
A: Key benefits include superior leakage prevention, bi-directional rotary operation, easy installation, minimal maintenance requirements, and adaptability to various process conditions. The long operational life and robust construction improve equipment uptime and reduce replacement costs.
