Training Courses and Workshops

Create understanding

In our training courses for technical draftsmen and design engineers, users and maintenance personnel we explain the performance characteristics of various seals and sealing systems for rotating shafts in a comprehensive but practical manner using examples.

Also as in-house training

Small groups

Tailored to your work profile and practice-oriented through your questions

Objective

In our training courses, the following contents are explained and conveyed in a practical but comprehensive manner:

Operating principles and functions
Technical design and operation of seals
Valuable information about the special features of various applications
Comparison of performance characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of mechanical seals and radial lip seals with other sealing elements

Participants

Our training courses are suitable for technical draftsmen and design engineers, 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 persons. Due to the relatively small number of participants, it is possible to deal with individual questions and special problems.

Contents of the training courses

All Relevant Topics in One Training Course

Various areas are relevant and must therefore be considered if rotary seals are to be understood, selected and used correctly. Therefore, we cover three main topics in our training courses.

Seals for rotary equipment

Overview

Design and operating principles
Constructive designs
Criteria for selection depending on the application
Performance ranges (sliding speed, temperature and pressure)
Comparison of different sealing systems
Standards and literature references

Exploit material properties correctly

Material Overview

Sliding materials for axial sliding surfaces
Sliding materials for radial sliding surfaces
Elastomer materials, PTFE compounds, graphites
Construction materials (steels and special alloys)

The application is decisive

Arrangement Options and Modes of Operation

Single sealing systems
Double seals in back-to-back and tandem design
Supply systems and monitoring devices
Compliance with ATEX and TA-Luft requirements
Assembly and commissioning
Examples of failure causes

Various areas of application

Applications and Practical Examples

Pumps
Conveying technology
Agitator and mixing technology
Fans and ventilators
Food technology
Vacuum technology
Rotary joints

Selecting correctly

Cost/Benefit Aspects of Optimum Seal Selection

Comparison between investment and runtime
Safety of the production process due to increased capital expenditure and enhanced effort in the mode of operation
Periodic maintenance effort in comparison to automized supply systems
Comparison of assembly efforts for component and cartridge seals
