CobaSeal, the oil barrier/separation seal for Dry Gas Seals,

is a co-axial gas lubricated seal, which eliminates all
disadvantages of existing systems such as labyrinths used
currently in the industry.
The seal is designed similarly to a gas seal, consisting of
a ductile rotating seat and a stationary spring-loaded seal
face. In contrast to conventional mechanical seal systems,
the separation gas is led through the stationary seal face
into the middle of the sliding face by means of axial bores.
The separation gas is divided into two leakage streams,
towards the inside and the outside diameter of the sliding
face. The coaxial seal is a dual system which is integrated
in one sealing stage. The aerostatic lift-off results in a
contact-free operation without any wear.
Innovative design combined with state-of-the-art face
material features unbeatable low separation gas
consumption while ensuring reliable operation. There are
no restrictions whatsoever with regards to slow roll,
turning gear and coast down operation. Due to the
stable sealing gap between rotating seat and stationary
seal face, a contact-free operation is ensured even in case
of equipment upsets, e.g. vibrations

Important note
All the technical specifications are based on extensive tests and our many years of
experience. However, the diversity of possible applications means that they can serve as
guide values only.
It should be noted that the extremal values of each operating parameter cannot be applied
at the same time because of their interaction. Furthermore, the operating range of each
specific product depends on the respective shaft diameter, materials used, mode of
operation and on the medium to be sealed.
A guarantee can only be given in the individual case if the exact conditions of application
are known and these are confirmed in a special agreement. When critical conditions of
operation are involved, we recommend consulting with our specialist engineers.
