Trainings and workshops
In our training courses for designers, users and maintenance personnel, we explain the performance characteristics of various seals and sealing systems for sealing rotating shafts in a comprehensive but practical way using examples.
Objectives
In our training courses, the following content is explained and taught in a practical but comprehensive way:
- Principles of action and functions
- Design and operation of seals
- valuable information about the special features of various applications
- Comparison of the performance characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of mechanical seals and wave lip seals with other sealing elements
Participants
Our training courses are suitable for designers, users and maintenance personnel and provide an overview of the various technical options for sealing rotating shafts. The number of participants is between 5 and max. 10 people. With a relatively small number of participants, it is possible to answer individual questions and specific problems.
All relevant topics
Various areas are relevant and must therefore be considered if you want to understand, select and use rotary seals correctly. That is why we address three important main topics in our training offerings.
Overview
METAX mechanical seals are not visible in the machine, but they meet the customer's requirements:
- Design and operating principles

- Selection criteria depending on the application
- Performance ranges (sliding speed, temperature and pressure)
- Comparison of different sealing systems
- Standards and literature references
Overview of materials
- Sliding materials for axial sliding surfaces
- Sliding materials for radial sliding surfaces
- Elastomer materials, PTFE compounds, graphites
- Construction materials (steels and special alloys)
Arrangement options and operating modes
- Simple sealing systems
- Back-to-back and tandem double seals
- Supply systems and monitoring devices
- Compliance with ATEX and TA air requirements
- Assembly and commissioning
- Examples of failure causes
Applications and practical examples
