Lagersmit - Cutter Gear Bulkhead Seal
In the event of a major water leak, safety on board should always be a priority. The Supreme Bulkhead seal is generally used to prevent flooding of the bulkhead seal’s adjacent compartments in the unlikely event of an accident.
- Seagoing vessels
- Inland vessels
- Seals off non-flooded compartments if flooding occurs
- Ensures a safe return to port
- Allows large radial (4 mm) and axial (30 mm) play
- Can be used for low- and high-speed shafts
- Gas-tight bulkhead seals on request.
During shaft operation the lip seals will be lifted from the inside face of the aluminum housing, because of the circumferential force, being free from wear. To ensure proper lubrication at start-up and slower speeds, the seals are pre-lubricated with silicon spray.
In the case of larger bulkhead passages for penetrating shaft flanges, a passage flange ring is available on which the bulkhead seal can be installed. The water-lubricated face-type seals can handle up to 2.0 bar draught water pressure. The Supreme Bulkhead seal is available for shaft diameters from 110 to 710 millimetres.
