Type FO
The most common design of Mechanical Face Seals is the FO design, also called as 'O' Ring design, where 'O' Ring acts as the secondary sealing element. FO Type Mechanical Face Seal consists of 2 identical metallic sealing rings which seal against each other on a lapped seal face.

Type FT
The Mechanical Face Seal Type FT consists of two metallic angular seal rings of same geometric contour, the seal rings are assembled with trapezoidal or diamond shaped elastomers instead of an 'O' Ring type elastomer. Both metallic seal rings seal against each other on a lapped seal face.

Mechanical Face Seals are predominantly used as seal for the bearings in construction machinery, seal for axle of tractor, seal for tread roller of excavator, seal for cutting shaft of crop harvester, seal for screw conveyor for abrasive materials and equipment's operating under extreme arduous and extreme conditions and which are subject to wear.

Rvton Mechanical Face Seals Advantages :
