Packing Merkel® Carboflex 6587
Description
- Braided and impregnated stuffing box packing
- Square cross-section
- Carbon yarn based with special impregnation
- Advantages
- Downloads
- Function
- Applications
- Good chemical resistance
- Good heat dissipation
- Low friction
- Sealing of rotating shafts or translating rods
- Sealing effect due to axial compression by means of stuffing box gland
- Very stable behaviour in terms of volume
- No uncontrolled heat development at high sliding speeds, due to low coefficient of expansion, low coefficient of friction and ability to overcome critical running-in phase more easily
- Favourable running-in process due to special lubricant and impregnation adapted to carbon fibre
Most commonly used in the following applications:
- Pumps
- Designed for high-speed centrifugal pumps
