Non-contact type mechanical seal

A non-contact-type mechanical seal that keeps a rotary seal ring 6 from vibrating in what is called a pneumatic hammer fashion. For this purpose, an annular space 23 is formed between an outer circumferential surface 21a of the rotary seal ring 6 and an inner circumferential surface 13a of a holder...

Summary:A non-contact-type mechanical seal that keeps a rotary seal ring 6 from vibrating in what is called a pneumatic hammer fashion. For this purpose, an annular space 23 is formed between an outer circumferential surface 21a of the rotary seal ring 6 and an inner circumferential surface 13a of a holder portion 13 of a spring retainer 5. The annular space 23 is sealed by a pair of O rings 22, 22. In addition, seal gas leading passages 24 are provided in the rotary seal ring 6 through which spaces between seal end faces 3a, 6a communicate with the annular space 23. Seal gas 8 is supplied to static pressure generating grooves 15, and led into the annular space 23 through seal gas leading passages 24. The seal gas presses O rings 22, 22 against the outer circumferential surfaces of the rotary seal ring 6 and the inner circumferential surface of the holder portion 13 of the spring retainer 5, thereby firmly holding the rotary seal ring 6.
