Allpa PSS Mechanical Dripless Propeller Shaft Seal for Inboard Shafts Ø22–95 mm
The Allpa PSS Mechanical Propeller Shaft Seal is a packing-free axial shaft sealing system developed for water-lubricated inboard marine propulsion installations. Its mechanical face seal design provides a dripless shaft sealing arrangement without traditional stuffing box packing.
The seal consists of a stationary carbon flange and a rotating stainless steel ring. The carbon flange is pressed against the stainless steel ring by the compression of a flexible rubber bellows, maintaining contact between the sealing surfaces.
The stainless steel ring rotates with the propeller shaft and is secured by double set screws. Internal O-rings provide sealing between the ring and the shaft. The broad contact surface helps maintain sealing contact even when the propeller shaft vibrates.
The range includes 38 configurations for propeller shaft diameters from 22 to 95 mm and stern tube outside diameters from 31.8 to 152.4 mm.

Mechanical Face Sealing System
The PSS axial seal operates through continuous contact between two sealing faces: a stationary carbon flange and a stainless steel ring rotating with the propeller shaft.
The flexible rubber bellows applies pressure to the carbon flange, maintaining contact against the rotating stainless steel surface. This mechanical arrangement provides sealing without conventional packing material.
The stainless steel ring is secured to the propeller shaft by double set screws and sealed internally by O-rings. The broad contact surface accommodates shaft vibration while maintaining sealing contact.
Water Cooling and Bellows
The PSS shaft seal includes a 10 mm hose connection for cooling water. The flexible rubber bellows is resistant to oil and grease and provides the compression required for the mechanical sealing faces.
Installation Lengths
Propeller Shaft Diameter Installation Length 22–30 mm 158 mm 32–35 mm 165 mm 38–55 mm 206 mm 60 mm 216 mm or 232 mm, depending on stern tube diameter 70–80 mm 235 mm 95 mm 248 mm
Selection and Installation
The correct Allpa PSS axial shaft seal must be selected according to the following dimensions:
- Propeller Shaft Diameter: Measure the diameter of the propeller shaft at the sealing location.
- Stern Tube Outside Diameter: Select the corresponding tube connection diameter.
- Installation Length: Verify the available axial installation space.
- Cooling Water Connection: Provide for the 10 mm water hose connection.
Multiple stern tube diameters are available for the same propeller shaft diameter. Verify both dimensions before selecting the appropriate article number.
