HE160B Mechanical Seal

The HE160B Mechanical Seal is a high-performance sealing solution engineered to provide reliable and efficient sealing in a wide range of industrial applications. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of pumps, compressors, agitators, and rotating equipment, the HE160B combines robust construction, excellent chemical resistance, and superior operational stability. This seal is commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, pulp and paper, and food processing, where high reliability and durability are essential.

Constructed with high-quality materials, the HE160B Mechanical Seal typically features a combination of SIC (Silicon Carbide), Carbon, and Tungsten Carbide for the seal faces, with secondary sealing elements made from elastomers such as Viton, EPDM, or NBR, depending on the application's chemical and temperature requirements. The use of Silicon Carbide and Tungsten Carbide ensures excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and thermal shock, making the HE160B suitable for both abrasive and corrosive environments.

One of the key advantages of the HE160B design is its balanced seal configuration, which allows it to withstand higher pressures while minimizing wear and leakage. The balanced design also reduces the hydraulic forces acting on the seal faces, resulting in extended service life and lower maintenance requirements. This makes the HE160B a preferred choice for both standard and demanding sealing applications.

The HE160B seal is typically a single-spring, pusher-type mechanical seal with a compact, modular structure that simplifies installation and maintenance. The spring element is robust and resists clogging, even in fluids containing solids or slurry-like suspensions. Its non-clogging spring design and precise alignment minimize friction and allow the seal to maintain consistent performance under fluctuating operating conditions.

The seal can handle a wide temperature range, often from -20°C to +180°C, and can sustain shaft speeds up to 3600 RPM, depending on the size and configuration. Its pressure capacity can reach up to 20 bar, making it well-suited for both vacuum and pressurized systems. The HE160B also offers good axial and radial runout compensation, ensuring a tight seal even with shaft deflection or minor misalignments.

In terms of dimensions, the HE160B is available in various standard sizes, typically ranging from 20 mm to 100 mm shaft diameters, though custom sizing options are also possible. Its compact dimensions allow for easy integration into existing equipment without significant modifications.

Additionally, the HE160B is compliant with international standards such as ISO 3069 and DIN 24960, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial equipment. The seal’s standardized build ensures interchangeability and ease of replacement.
