Operating limits
ATTENTION! Operating limits depend on the materials, the media to be sealed and the
diameter of the sealing. (If there are any unclear points please contact BURGMANN.)
Shaft diameter (dw) : 10 - 100 mm
Pressure to be sealed (p1) : 12 bar g
Temperature to be sealed (t1) : -20 ... 120° C
Max. sliding speed (vg) : 10 m/s
Operation under several limit values simultaneously should be avoided as higher
loads (pressure, temperature, speed) can increase wear or lead to damage of sliding
faces or elastomers. This could result in a shorter service life and in the risk of a
sudden seal failure endangering men and environment.
The selection of the mechanical seal (type, suitability, materials) should be done by
BURGMANN staff or other authorised persons. A wrong selection by unauthorised
persons is not covered by BURGMANN's warranty.
Further information about the operating conditions can be found in the BURGMANN
assembly drawing MG1/dw-00 or in the specification sheets of the machine
manufacturer.
Materials
The materials of the mechanical seal depend on the application and are fixed in the
order.
