Seals (mechanical)

Mechanical seals are devices used to prevent the escape of fluids (liquids or gases) in rotating or reciprocating equipment, like pumps, compressors, and mixers. They are crucial components in many industrial applications, as they help to maintain system efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and ensure safety by preventing leaks. Mechanical seals typically consist of two main parts: a rotating component (usually mounted on a shaft) and a stationary component (mounted on the housing).
