With around 250 locations and 90 serve centers, we are represented in the most important economic regions of the world. The advantages are clear: short paths to our customers, fast response times and a shared language.
No sealing components mounted on the shaft and hence no additional shaft vibrations
Seal rings running contact-free - sliding faces and machine consume no additional power
Advantages
Easy installation by split housing design (shaft removal not required)
Long-term operation time
Maintainability
Segmented seal rings for easy replacement
