Mechanical Seal
A mechanical seal is a machine element made to seal the passage point of a rotating part (usually a shaft) through a wall (usually the machine casing).
Features of the mechanical seal are two surfaces sliding on each other – usually arranged at right angles to the rotational axle – which are pressed together by axial forces. Between the sliding surfaces is a liquid or gaseous lubricating film.
