Master dry running

Lip Seal Systems

This sealing technology complements our delivery program with a sealing solution for applications with low rotational speed and the risk of dry running or insufficient lubrication with liquid medium

Basis for success

Technological Concept

The combination of a lip made of a PTFE compound combined with the outstanding properties of a shaft
sleeve made of solid silicon carbide is the basis for our successful technological concept.

The polymer PTFE is characterized by its low friction, non-adhesion properties and dry running capability
(without liquid media). Silicon carbide has the highest hardness of technical materials after diamond and it can
quickly dissipate and distribute the frictional heat from the point of its origin in the contact area thanks to its
excellent thermal conductivity (5 times better than stainless steel).

METAX designs

Your Advantages

Pre-assembled units prevent damage to
sensitive PTFE lips during assembly
In certain applications, METAX systems
are clearly superior to other sealing concepts
Significantly reduced installation effort due to gas barriers used for seals that need a barrier medium because of environmental, hygienic or safety requirements
