Product Description
The Universal Cartridge 5600 Series is a modular
cartridge seal family that includes interchangeable
elastomer bellows, Sealol metal bellows, and
elastomer o-ring pusher seal designs.
The Type 5611 and 5611Q single seal arrangements
incorporate the John Crane Type 1 Seal head assembly
with the Universal Cartridge adaptive hardware.
!

Automatic adjustment compensates for abnormal

shaft end play and runout, primary ring seal face wear,
equipment tolerances, and service life.
Seal has optional quench gland (5611Q) with carbon
ring throttle bushing.

Basic Pressure Rating

(1800 rpm)
A
1. Lubricating liquid is defined as having
lubricating properties of gasoline
or better.

2. Pressure capabilities to 28 bar g/

400 psig are based on lubricating oil
service, Carbon vs. Silicon Carbide.
3. For sizes above 100mm/4",
consult John Crane Engineering.

The Basic Pressure Rating assumes stable operation at 1800 rpm in a clean, cool, lubricating, nonvolatile liquid with an adequate
flush rate. When used with the multiplier factors, the Basic Pressure Rating can be adjusted to provide a conservative estimate
of the dynamic pressure rating. For process services outside this range or a more accurate assessment of the dynamic pressure
rating, contact John Crane for more information.

Seal: 50.8mm/2" diameter Type 5611

x 1.00
*
x 1.00
x 0.75

Product: Water

x 0.60

Using the Pressure Rating Limits graph, the

maximum pressure would be 28 bar g/400 psig.

From the Multiplier Factors chart, apply the

multipliers for the specific service requirements
to determine the maximum operating pressure
for the application.

1.00

0.80
0.65

Example: If new speed = 2700 rpm

Multiplier = 1800/2700 = 0.67

** The ratio of sealed pressure to vapor pressure must be greater than 1.5, otherwise
consult John Crane. If the specific gravity is less than 0.60, consult John Crane.

Face Material: Carbon vs. Silicon Carbide

Temperature: 10C/50F
Shaft Speed: 1800 rpm

28 bar g/400 psig x 1 x 0.75 x 1

= 21 bar g/300 psig
The maximum operating pressure of this
50.8mm/2" Type 5611 seal is 21 bar g/300 psig.

CUT LINE FOR SHORT PAGE

The Basic Pressure Rating is for a standard seal, as shown in the typical arrangement, when installed according to the criteria
given in this data sheet and generally accepted industrial practices.
