  • Patent number: 9447885
    Abstract: A double mechanical seal device, comprising a rotating ring, a first static ring, a second static ring, and a seal cover. A first bellows seal device is provided between the first static ring and the seal cover, and the first bellows seal device comprises a first bellows part capable of expanding and contracting in an axial direction, a first cover-side adapter, and a first static ring-side adapter. The first bellows seal device and the first static ring are disposed so that in a state where there is no pressure difference between the inside and outside of the first bellows part, a balance line of the first bellows part passes through a cross section of an O ring and a first static seal surface.

  • Patent number: 8800995
    Abstract: Provided is a small mechanical seal device which can efficiently wash a sealing surface, and can appropriately seal a sealed fluid and a quenching liquid. In a mechanical seal device (1), two sealing surfaces, i.e., an objective fluid sealing surface (131) and a quenching fluid sealing surface (132) are formed in a stationary sealing ring (130), and a quenching fluid passes through a sealing groove (133) provided between the sealing surfaces. Quenching bores (134) which penetrate through the stationary sealing ring (130) in the axial direction are formed in the stationary sealing ring (130). The quenching fluid passes between an intermediate chamber (C) provided on the back side of the stationary sealing ring (130) and the sealing groove (133) via the quenching bores (134).

  • Patent number: 8783691
    Abstract: A mechanical seal device is provided for use when fluid pressure is frequently switched between positive and counter pressures. A rotary ring is provided on a rotary shaft and a stationary ring assembly is provided on which the stationary ring side sliding face is formed. A seal cover is provided containing the stationary ring assembly on an inner diameter side and supports the freely moving assembly in an axial direction of the rotary shaft along with a first O-ring to seal the first fluid and a second O-ring to seal the second fluid. A low-pressure chamber is sealed from the first fluid and the second fluid and maintains pressure lower than those of the first and the second fluids.

  • Patent number: 8757631
    Abstract: Provided is a mechanical sealing device which is simply configured and wherein a rotation ring can be stably held in a specified axial position, and warping of the sealed surfaces can be prevented, thereby making it possible to obtain appropriate sealing characteristics. In a mechanical sealing device, a rotation ring is axially held between a rotation ring locking surface of a sleeve and a rotation ring locking surface of a collar. Furthermore, the sleeve, the rotation ring fixing collar, and the rotation ring are integrated together by means of a baffle knock pin for the rotation ring. Due to the above, whether positive pressure or negative pressure is applied, the rotation ring does not move, nor do the sealed surfaces of the rotation ring become warped. Moreover, assembly can be simply performed only by means of the knock pin.

  • Patent number: 8382121
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cartridge type double seal having a size small enough to be mounted on the outer surface of an apparatus without using a space in a stuffing box and without requiring any special design and modification. In a seal device (1), a seal case (44) is fixed and installed by the set screw (18), screwed in radially inside from the far end of the mounting groove (15) of the seal cover (10) through the screw groove (17), at the innermost end of the seal cover (10). The thickness of thickness direction can be reduced because the seal case (44) is not axially supported and fixed.

  • Publication number: 20120248705
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a divisional type mechanical seal of outside type which joins the seal face in flat and strongly even in a seal ring having a different thickness in the radial direction, and to exhibit an appropriate sealing ability. In the mechanical seal device of the present invention, the circumference grooves 31 to 34 and 71 to 74 are formed in correspondence with the thicker area 38 and 78 and the thinner area 39 and 79 at the outer peripheral face of the seal ring 30, 70; and the circumference grooves 51 to 54 and 91 to 94 are formed in correspondence with the circumference direction grooves 31 to 34 and 71 to 74 at the inner peripheral face of the holder 50 and 90.
