FAQs of AS40A Single mechanical seal:
Q: How do I install the AS40A Single Mechanical Seal in my pump?
A: The AS40A is engineered for an easy, ready-to-fit installation process. Simply follow the manufacturers instructions for aligning and securing the seal on shafts sized between 20 mm and 60 mm, regardless of the pumps rotation direction, thanks to its unbalanced and independent design.
Q: What types of pumps are compatible with the AS40A Single Mechanical Seal?
A: This seal is versatile and suitable for water pumps, submersible pumps, and a variety of industrial pumps, making it a practical choice for numerous applications across different sectors.
Q: When should the AS40A Single Mechanical Seal be used instead of a double seal?
A: Opt for the AS40A single seal when operating within the maximum pressure limit of 10 bar and when the fluid and environmental conditions are compatible with the material options available. Its ideal for straightforward sealing solutions that do not require double-seal protection.
Q: Where is the AS40A seal manufactured, and can it be sourced in India?
A: The AS40A Single Mechanical Seal is manufactured in India and readily available through local manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers, ensuring convenient access and support for domestic customers.
Q: What are the benefits of choosing materials like Silicon Carbide or Tungsten Carbide for the rotary face?
A: Selecting Silicon Carbide or Tungsten Carbide provides enhanced wear resistance, durability, and chemical compatibility, which is especially beneficial in harsh or abrasive operating environments.
Q: How does the tolerance and hardness specification affect seal performance?
A: With a precise tolerance of 0.02 mm and a hardness rating of 60-70 HRC, the seal ensures minimal leakage, stable operation under pressure, and extended service life even in rigorous applications.
