Labyrinth Seals
Non-Contact Sealing for High-Speed and High-Temperature Applications
We offer precision-engineered labyrinth seals designed for critical rotating equipment where non-contact sealing is essential. These seals use a series of interlocking ridges and grooves to create a complex path that restricts the flow of fluids, gases, or contaminants—without ever touching the rotating shaft.
What Is a Labyrinth Seal?
A labyrinth seal is a type of mechanical seal that controls leakage by creating a tortuous path for the medium to travel through. Unlike traditional contact seals, labyrinth seals operate without friction or wear, making them ideal for high-speed machinery and extreme environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Non-Contact Design: Eliminates friction and wear, reducing maintenance and extending service life.
- High-Speed Capability: Ideal for turbines, compressors, and blowers where RPMs are too high for contact seals.
- Thermal and Chemical Resistance: Materials are available to withstand elevated temperatures and corrosive environments.
- Contaminant Control: Prevents ingress of dirt, dust, and moisture into bearings and internal systems.
- Custom Fit Options: Designed to meet the specific tolerance, speed, and pressure requirements of your application.
Applications
- Gas & Steam Turbines
- Centrifugal Compressors
- Motors & Generators
- Pumps & Blowers
- Gearboxes & Bearing Housings
