Textured Mechanical Seal

World’s first sealing technology that achieves extra-low friction and high sealing performance

During rotation, fluid is introduced into the textured surface to generate positive pressures, promoting formation of fluid film and separation of the sliding surfaces. As a result, friction is reduced by 90% or more compared to the mechanical seal with conventional sliding surfaces. Furthermore, an optimized texture can also generate negative pressures, preventing fluid leaking past the sliding surfaces. This achieves leakage reduction of over 90%.
