Flexible Metal Bellow Seals for High Pressure Applications

Various types of mechanical seals with rigid construction are available to join or combine two systems together. They are used in bearing and pumps in order to prevent leakage in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemical, food and beverage. They are made with materials like Carbon, SiC, SSiC and TC. Furthermore, metal bellows are used in vacuum as am elastic vessel and when pressure is applied to the vacuum, they get shrink. And, whenever, the pressure is released, they then get their previous shape again. There are three types of metal bellows available as welded, formed and electro formed. Therefore, they are perfect equipment to work in high pressure and high temperature applications with their excellent bearing capacity.

Metal bellow seals are available as an alternative to liquid barrier systems without any need of springs. They are also ideal to eliminate the use of elastomer's in chemical industries by providing efficient and reliable working to the user. These seals are available as safety or back-up equipments in order to get emission containment and featured with corrosion and abrasion resistance, high strength and rugged structure. Apart from this, seal face, secondary seal and metal parts are major three parts of a seal that make them to work properly for high temperature and high pressure applications.


With housing feature, rotation directions of these products are independent as they are available with excellent operating range. Seal face of this equipment must be flat and properly polished with shiny and high grade materials. In addition, they are designed with excellent flexibility at their face to easily install at any product for preventing leakage. Therefore, they are manufactured in varied specifications and sizes with a pressure range up to 1.2Mpa and a speed range up to 2.5Mpa. The range of speed varies according to the type of seals.
