The
and
LABYRINTH SEAL
A labyrinth seal is composed of many straight grooves
that press tightly inside another axle, so that the fluid
has to pass through a long and difficult path to escape.
For labyrinth seals on a rotating shaft, a very small
clearance must exist between the tips of the labyrinth
threads and the running surface.
Labyrinth seals on rotating shafts provide non-contact
sealing action by controlling the passage of fluid through
a variety of chambers by centrifugal motion, as well as
by the formation of controlled fluid vortices.
LABYRINTH SEAL
At higher speeds, centrifugal motion forces the liquid
towards the outside and therefore away from any
passages. The labyrinth seals are non-contact type,
therefore the wearing out rate is much slower.
Turbines use labyrinth seals due to the lack of friction,
which is necessary for high rotational speeds.

BRUSH SEALS
Densely packed bristle pack welded to the front and
back plates that provide mechanical support for
sealed pressure.
BRUSH SEALS
During rotor growth and excursions, bristle pack deflects
elastically and springs back to new positions to maintain
sealing contact without little or no permanent damage.
Current labyrinth seal will be permanently damaged

Reduced leakage and parasitic loss compared
to current labyrinth seals, resulting from:
Its ability to significantly reduce as-installed seal
clearance
Its ability to withstand rotor growth and excursions
without enlarging seal clearance
