Metal Bellow Sseals
Metal bellow seals offer distinct advantage in high temperature application. A bellow core constructed by welding number of metal diaphragms together eliminates the need for springs, providing more flexibility to the seal face compensating for seal face wear.
Series AMMBO are widely used in refining, petrochemicals and chemical industries. Static o-ring is used as a secondary member. The absence of dynamic o- ring prevents possibility of seal hang-up. Centroid loaded face design increases seal life by avoiding seal face distortion caused due to thermal expansion and also ensures optimum face flatness over a wide operating condition. As a standard, AM350 bellow cores are used. For chemical compatibility Alloy C-276 or Alloy 718 bellow cores can be used.

SERIES: PTMBG
Series PTMBG seals specially designed for high temperature application and suitable for high startup toque since the bellows unit is independent of torque transmission. Grafoil is used as a secondary member having excellent temperature range upto 400°C. Shrunk fit seal face design minimize face distortion restricting leakage and wear rate to very low level under a wide range of condition.
