<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 />
