Double Cartridge: RPW-516
HydroMax Seal RPW-516 | Flow Induced Double Cartridge Rotary Seal with Quench & Flush Ports
The RPW-516 is a multi-spring, hydraulically balanced, flow-induced double cartridge seal equipped with barrier fluid quench and drain ports, and O-ring secondary seals.
This Rotary Pusher Wet (RPW) Double Cartridge Seal features shrink-fitted seal faces and is designed for use with parallel rotating equipment shafts. The flow-induced design promotes enhanced circulation of barrier fluid, improving heat dissipation and seal longevity.
The cartridge is set screw driven and includes quench, drain, and flush port connections for compatibility with seal support systems. The seal is factory assembled and tested, ensuring reliable installation and performance.
