Disclosed herein are aspects of a sealing device, as well as a pump using the same. In one embodiment, the sealing device includes an axial sleeve having a first end and a second end, a dynamic seal mounted about the first end of the axial sleeve, the dynamic seal including at least one dynamic seal assembly, each of the at least one dynamic seal assemblies including a diffuser and a static steal mounted about the second end of the axial sleeve, and a fixed cartridge housing enclosing at least a portion of the axial sleeve, and an entirety of the dynamic seal and static seal.

A mechanical seal arrangement includes a first mechanical seal with a rotating slide ring and a stationary slide ring, which define a sealing gap in between them. The mechanical seal arrangement includes a first sealing space that is filled with a sealing liquid. The first mechanical seal seals off the sealing space against a surrounding area, a first piston arrangement with a piston element and flexible wall areas that define a first piston interior space, wherein the first piston interior space is in fluid connection with the first sealing space. A piston outer surface of the piston element is in fluid connection with the surrounding area, and a first pre-stressing appliance that exerts a first preload force (F1) on the piston element of the first piston arrangement.

A sealing apparatus includes a rotating shaft to seal a first space where a fluid flows and a second space accommodating a device that is vulnerable to the fluid. A main seal partially defines the first space to restrict the fluid from leaking from the first space and includes a rotating seal ring provided on the rotating shaft, a stationary seal ring firmly provided in the equipment, and biasing member 18 configured to bias the rotating seal ring and the stationary seal ring in a facing direction; and an auxiliary seal that partially defines the second space to prevent the fluid from infiltrating into the second space and is in sliding contact with the rotating shaft of a member connected to the rotating shaft at a position which is different from a position of the main seal.

A seal to prevent fluid through a first interface between the seal and a first body, includes first and second band members and a bridge member. The first band member defines a first band seal surface on first side of the first band member. The first band member is configured to provide a first fluid seal with the first body when compressed to the first body. The second band member defines a second band seal surface on a first side of the second band member. The second band member is configured to provide a second fluid seal with the first body when compressed to the first body. The first band member and the second band member at least partially define a cavity between the first band member and the second band member. The bridge member extends through the cavity and connects the first band member to the second band member.

Sealing device for a propeller shaft of a marine vehicle propulsion unit including a plurality of sealing lips axially offset relative to each other, with a receiving space for a hydraulic fluid delimited by two adjacent sealing lips, at least one buffer space axially offset with respect to the receiving space and delimited by two adjacent sealing lips, whereby the sealing device includes suitable feeding means for supplying the buffer space with a buffer fluid. The device includes a sampling circuit able to sample fluid included in the buffer space and a monitoring device able to check parameters of the fluid sampled by the sampling circuit.

A seal assembly for a pump comprises a gland housing mounted to the pump casing. A staging flow pathway is defined within the gland housing with multiple seal chambers. A seal stage is positioned in each seal chamber, each having a static sealing element and a rotating sealing element, the sealing elements engaging one another to form a fluid-tight seal. A rotor assembly pumps coolant through the gland housing. Fluid passing through the staging flow pathway is accelerated by an acceleration surface of the rotor assembly. An inlet passage feeds coolant fluid into the staging flow pathway and past the acceleration surface.

Provided is a sealing apparatus capable of linear and rotational motion including a housing; a hollow first shaft penetrating and coupled to the housing; a first sealing member provided between the housing and the first shaft to seal therebetween; a second shaft of which at least a part is inserted into the first shaft; a second sealing member provided between the first shaft and the second shaft to seal therebetween; and a third sealing member provided on either an inner circumferential surface of the first shaft or an outer circumferential surface of the second shaft.

The turbomachine comprises a stationary casing with a rotating member configured to rotate about a rotation axis in the stationary casing. The turbomachine further includes a rotating balance drum, arranged for co-rotation with the rotating member. A stationary sleeve is arranged in a fixed relationship with the stationary casing and surrounds the balance drum. The stationary sleeve comprises a plurality of consecutively arranged sleeve sections. A fluid channel is defined by an outer surface of the balance drum and an inner surface of the stationary sleeve. Between at least one pair of sequentially arranged upstream sleeve section and downstream sleeve section an annular chamber is provided, fluidly coupled to the fluid channel. Shunt holes are arranged on the upstream sleeve section, each shunt hole having a shunt hole inlet on an inner surface of the upstream sleeve section, and a shunt hole outlet in the annular chamber.

The invention relates to a ring seal which comprises a main body capable of implementing a seal by static contact relative to a first cylindrical element, and a first circumferential lip capable of engaging by friction with a cylindrical surface of a second cylindrical element, said cylindrical elements being substantially coaxial and mounted so as to pivot relative to one another. The main body comprises a front surface configured to be in axial contact with a front surface of the first cylindrical element, the main body comprising a second circumferential lip radially opposite the first circumferential lip and capable of being in radial contact with a cylindrical surface of the first cylindrical element.

An oil supply structure for a planetary gear device includes: a planetary gear device including a tubular body that rotates together with a carrier that holds planetary gears, the tubular body including a lubricating oil introduction port formed therein; an annular body that slides against the tubular body, the annular body including a lubricating oil supply passage that communicates with the lubricating oil introduction port; a pair of seal rings attached to the tubular body or the annular body at both sides of the lubricating oil introduction port in an axial direction; bypass passages bypassing the pair of respective seal rings; and a pair of pressure reduction mechanisms disposed between the lubricating oil introduction port and the pair of seal rings or disposed outside the pair of seal rings, the pair of pressure reduction mechanisms each limiting a flow of lubricating oil between the tubular body and the annular body.
