Advantages of Laminar Sealing Rings (more information)

• No friction with other rotating components and are ideal for high speed applications
• Prevent dirt and splash water from contaminating components
• When used in conjunction with other seals, Laminar Seals provide a primary seal against severe contamination, before the contaminants come in contact with the secondary seal
• Sets of multiple rings provide an efficient Labyrinth seal
• Rings may be produced from a wide variety of alloys to withstand more severe conditions including higher temperatures and corrosive environments
• As a metallic mechanical seal they can outperform rubber seals in durability and life expectancy
• The change from rubber to metal reduces the need for frequent seal replacement
