Bellow Type Mechanical Seal: Reliable Metal Bellows Design for Demanding Pumping Conditions

The bellow type mechanical seal consists of a welded metal bellows which will act as the elastic element of the seal as opposed to using elastomer driven springs/foams. By utilizing this design, the seal will provide stable loading from the face and will maintain excellent operation during temperature changes or through the use of highly aggressive/abrasive materials. This seal design uses a flexible material that does not require springs thus making it an ideal choice for most industrial pumps due to its reliability over an extended range of operating conditions.

Advantages of Bellow Type Mechanical Seal

Enhanced Compatibility with Thermal and Chemical Environments

Due to the all-metal nature of the seal, it can handle many different types of industrial fluids.

Reduced Number of Leakage Paths

By minimizing the number of possible points for leakage compared to a design that uses several springs, the bellows assembly supports leak-free performance.

Compact Configuration with Fewer Moving Parts

Fewer moving elements in the construction means less maintenance required to maintain continuous industrial service operation.

Application Scenarios 🛠 Bellow Type Mechanical Seal

Centrifugal and Reciprocating Thermal Oil Pumps

Metal bellows seals will have a higher performance when compared to elastomers for centrifugal thermal oil pumping systems and thermal oil recycling processes. After prolonged operation in both applications, metal bellows seals will maintain a consistent face loading through both thermal expansion and thermal contraction.

Chemical Processing Pumping Applications

Applications using metal bellows seals include any chemical processing system that adds solvents and aggressive materials into their system. These seals have corrosion resistant materials allowing for their extended use in media that may otherwise destroy conventional sealing products.

Vacuum Systems and Low-Pressure Process Applications

Low leakage rates and reduced out-gassing risks make the use of metal bellows seals particularly useful in vacuum furnaces and semiconductor manufacturing and laboratory research equipment.

Petrochemical Refining Applications

The typical combination of high temperature cycles and hydrocarbon process media creates a considerable amount of damage through face loading on the seal and metal bellows seals allow for a significant amount of thermal fluctuations and produces less thermal deformations leading to seal failure.

Electric and Gas and Energy Generation Applications

Metal bellows seals have been found useful with many types of power generation applications including boiler feed water pumps, turbine auxiliary systems and any rotating equipment operating under high temperatures or varying loads.

FAQ

What does a bellows do in a mechanical seal?

The bellows provide a consistent sealing force under varying conditions of temperature and pressure.
Mechanical seals with bellows can typically be found in pumps and rotating equipment that handle heated liquids and/or chemically aggressive liquids (heat transfer oils) and/or places where an elastomer may not perform.
The materials used for bellows normally include high-performance alloys, such as stainless steel, nickel-alloys or other corrosion-resistant materials.
