Cartex® Cartridge Mechanical Seal

EagleBurgmann's Cartex mechanical seal is fully pre-assembled is designed with greater attention to functional details like tighter tolerances for more accurate seal operation, greater axial movement to handle pump shaft movement, seal parts with robust cross sections for optimal seal stability in operation, and castings that meet ASTM A 351/351M standards for proven quality. The seals are installed in pumps in a wide range of industries including chemicals, water supply, paper production, food processing and many other applications. Cartridge seals are easy to fit, and they keep your running costs down.

The Cartex® cartridge seal line now includes single and double seal versions for all standard operating modes as well as special versions.
