<strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Shaft</strong> <strong>Seal</strong><br />
Types 0198/0200/0204/0209<br />
Description<br />
<strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Shaft</strong> <strong>Seal</strong>s Type 0198 are rotary<br />
shaft seals of traditional design with a<br />
fabric/elastomer outer diameter. Type 0198 is<br />
delivered with a rectangular profile back. Type 0200<br />
is delivered with a circumferential groove plus<br />
radial ports to enable two such seals to be fitted<br />
back to back, thereby creating a cavity for holding<br />
additional grease lubrication. Type 0204 is<br />
manufactured with a special material making it<br />
self-retaining within the seal housing, removing the<br />
need for a retaining plate.<br />
Split <strong>Seal</strong>s<br />
<strong>Seal</strong> types 0198 and 0200 can be supplied in split<br />
form to ease installation on existing machinery.<br />
Full fitting instructions together with a suitable<br />
adhesive are supplied with the seals.<br />
Low Friction Surface Treatment<br />
All types of the above <strong>Meridian</strong> <strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Shaft</strong><br />
<strong>Seal</strong>s are available with a special PTFE based<br />
surface treatment (type 0208). This treatment<br />
reduces heat generated by seal lip friction and<br />
helps to extend seal life.<br />
Application<br />
Typical applications for type 0198 rotary shaft seals<br />
are roll neck bearing seals, stern tube seals for<br />
marine applications, crushing plant, large<br />
gearboxes, tunnelling machines and most large<br />
diameter journal sealing applications.<br />
Normally the standard seal is only for sealing<br />
differential pressures of up to 0.1 bar.<br />
<strong>Rotary</strong> <strong>Shaft</strong> <strong>Seal</strong>s at High Speeds/<br />
High Pressure<br />
For high pressures, and dependent upon surface<br />
speeds, the type 0209 is recommended. This seal<br />
has the advantage of a special pressure ring and<br />
low friction lip construction. It must always be<br />
fitted to a housing with an end plate to accurately<br />
locate and clamp the seal.<br />
