What is a parallel spring mechanical seal?
A parallel spring mechanical seal is a mechanical seal you can recognise by the single compression spring behind the rotating seal head. Thanks to its accommodating single spring and elastomer bellows, the parallel spring seal is ideal for a wide range of applications, from general duties to more demanding ones. These seals are highly effective and are widely used in pumps, mixers, agitators, compressors and other rotating shaft equipment.
A parallel spring seal does not depend on the direction of rotation, so you can fit it on both clockwise and anticlockwise rotating shafts without any problem. You can recognise our parallel spring seals by the code QPS, which stands for Qseals Parallel Spring Seal, followed by the type number.
If the parallel spring seal is not pressed into place by the impeller, a separate set collar is often used. A set collar is a stainless steel ring with set screws that lets you fix the rotor on the shaft at the required preload.
