SEAL IT UP

29 October 2019

German company ProfiSeal specialises in the design and manufacture of highly reliable propeller shaft and bulkhead seals for the ship and yacht building industry.

Profiseal’s water- or oil-lubricated face-type seals for open or closed sterntube-systems are seawater resistant and also come in an aluminium-version. Installation is easy and the seals give a long service life even in extremely dirty waters. Due to their face-type design, there’s no shaft wear as occurs with radial-type seals.

Allowed axial shaft movement: +/- 5mm; allowed radial shaft movement: +/- 2mm.

Profiseal propeller shaft seals are suitable for shafts with diameters between 100 and 180mm. Operating temperatures for water lubricated seals are -5° to +40° C and -5° to +70° C when oil is used.
