Rubber bellows mechanical seal
Unbalanced
Single spring
Independent of direction of rotation
Short axial installation length
Advantages
Mechanical seal for large-series cold water pumps, produced in millions of units per year. The BT-AR owes its success to the wide range of application, the short axial length (this allows for more economic pump construction and saves material), and the best quality/price ratio. The elasticity of the bellows design enables a more robust operation.
The BT-AR can also be used as a multiple seal in tandem or back-to-back arrangement when the product media cannot ensure lubrication, or when sealing media with a higher solids content. Installation proposals can be provided upon request.
