  • Patent number: 11662025
    Abstract: A mechanical seal having a first seal ring, which is mounted in a receptacle of a fixed part, and a second seal ring, which is mounted in a sleeve of a rotary part having a fixing portion fixed to a rotary shaft. The second seal ring extends radially inwards relative to the fixing portion of the sleeve, above an upper ending surface of the rotary shaft. The first seal ring is disposed above the second seal ring in such a way that the sliding surfaces of the first seal ring and of the second seal ring are in mutual contact. The sliding surfaces of the first seal ring and of the second seal ring have a mean diameter that is lower than an external diameter of the rotary shaft.

  • Patent number: 10612667
    Abstract: A seal assembly includes a fixed seal ring, and a rotary part having a rotary seal ring with a friction edge intended to slide against a counter-track of the fixed seal ring, a receptacle connected to a rotary shaft and provided with teeth intended to be housed inside cavities obtained in a collar of the rotary seal ring in order to drive the rotary seal ring into rotation, and a protection ring disposed around the collar and provided with recessed housings intended to be disposed inside the cavities of the collar and to house the teeth of the receptacle.

  • Publication number: 20200018399
    Abstract: A mechanical seal includes: a fixed portion with a receptacle and a first seal ring provided on the receptacle, a rotary portion with a sleeve and a second seal ring provided on the sleeve, a cup mounted inside the receptacle with the possibility of sliding in an axial direction, a gasket housed in the cup, and a spring axially compressed between the receptacle and the cup. The spring has a first end constrained to the cup by means of first constraint means, and a second end constrained to the receptacle by means of second constraint means, in such a way that the spring opposes a rotation of the cup relative to the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 9746083
    Abstract: A seal designed for insertion between a rotating shaft and a fixed casing having an opening through which the shaft is fitted, the seal having a sleeve designed to fit onto the shaft; a first sealing ring fitted to the sleeve; a cup designed to fit inside the opening; and a second sealing ring connected to the cup by a bellows of elastomeric material; the first and second sealing rings cooperate frontally with each other under the axial load exerted by a spring interposed between the cup and the second sealing ring; and the bellows is connected in angularly free manner to the cup to prevent self-induced torsional oscillation and noise resulting from it.
