•No friction with other rotating components,ideal for high speed applications. •Prevent dirt and splash water from contaminating components. •When used in conjunction with other seals,Laminar seals provide a primary seal against severe contamination, before the contaminants come in contact with the secondary seal. •Sets of multiple rings provide an efficient labyrinth seal. •Rings may be produced from a wide varity of alloys to withstand more severe conditions including higher temperatures and corrosive environments. •As a meallic mechanical seal they can outperform rubber seals in durability and life expectancy. •The change from rubber to metal reduces the need for frequent seal replacement.
