BT-AR

Features

  • Rubber bellows mechanical seal
  • Unbalanced
  • Single spring
  • Independent of direction of rotation
  • Short axial installation length

Advantages

Mechanical seal for large-series cold water pumps, produced in millions of units per year. The BT-AR owes its success to the wide range of application, the short axial length (this allows for more economic pump construction and saves material), and the best quality/price ratio. The elasticity of the bellows design enables a more robust operation.

The BT-AR can also be used as a multiple seal in tandem or back-to-back arrangement when the product media cannot ensure lubrication, or when sealing media with a higher solids content. Installation proposals can be provided upon request.

Operating range

Shaft diameter: d1 = 6 … 70 mm (0.24" … 2.76")
Pressure: p1* = 6 bar (87 PSI),
vacuum … 0.5 bar (7.45 PSI) up to 1 bar (14.5 PSI) with seat locking
Temperature:
t* = -20 °C … +120 °C (-4 °F … +248 °F)
Sliding velocity: vg = 10 m/s (33 ft/s)

* Dependent on medium, size and material

Product variants

BT-AR3
Seal faces with brazed tungsten carbide (U) for abrasive media. Elastomers and diameter range the same as BT-AR. The BT-AR3 is the right choice of seal for use in high duty applications or when abrasives (e.g. waste water) could damage the seal faces.
