E01, E02, E11, E12
Features
- Rotating single-spring pusher seals
- Unbalanced
- Robust seal design
- Available as O-Ring or wedge variants
- Hard/hard seal face combination available
- Independent of direction of rotation
(E11, E12) - Available as single, dual and tandem arrangements
Advantages
- Ideal for general purpose applications
- Suitable for abrasive, corrosive and viscous fluids
- Over 35 years of running reference in the field
- Narrow cross-section allows the seal fitment in narrow stuffing boxes
