Main Shaft Bearing Seals
Kaydon carbon seal designs are primarily utilized as main shaft bearing seals in aerospace and aircraft engine applications. Carbon face seals and carbon circumferential seals are commonly applied for these applications.
Aerospace turbine engine shaft seals are engineered to seal the main shaft bearing compartment and oil sump for more efficient and environmentally sustainable operation. Kaydon manufactures carbon seals and circumferential seals which set quality and performance standards for many commercial and military aerospace engines. Kaydon lift seal designs have shown clear performance advantages in reducing heat generation and extending seal life, reducing load on engine oil management systems and maximizing time on wing.
Kaydon shaft seal runners, spacers and support structures simplify the supply of associated seal components and assure the proper interface of mating components.
