Spring of pump mechanical seal
Thread Content
What is the purpose of the spring located above the mechanical seal of the pump? I’m not quite sure; is it necessary? Thank you
It is the force applied to the sealing surface; without this force, the sealing surface loses its sealing capability. Just like the pressure springs on safety valves and pressure regulators.
It provides initial closure for the friction pair, ensuring that the moving and stationary rings follow each other and enabling compensation. Some structures transmit power through springs
