The shaft seals of the SDW20 series are designed with split housings. The sealing rings are cut in 3 parts radially and are mounted in the housing so that they can move radially. The split housings make it much easier to assemble and disassemble the shaft seal. For the sealing rings, several PTFE compounds as well as special synthetic carbon qualities are available, which are used for high-temperature applications up to 600°C. The sealing rings are made of PTFE. The seal ring materials are designed for dry running and do not require any lubrication.
