QSD Series configuration consists of 2.2-Turn laminar seal
rings (FEY Rings) that ding to a shaft. When an environment has excess contamination or an application requires
additional protection, laminar seal rings may be used in combination to form an additional seal. This application
doubles-up the QSD ring arrangement by incorporating a second set of rings in a secondary groove. To further
the sealing effect, this connector has a third ring installed that creates an additional labyrinth.
Application
Connector The seal arrangement in this assembly has
been custom designed for optimum protection
against contamination. Gases build up pressure in a
center cavity, protected on both ends from
contaminants entering. Assurance has been built into
the design so gases are clean as they enter and exit the
center cavity.
Environment
High contamination: small particles and gases.
