ManeCraft Deep Sea Seal Maintenance-Free Propeller Shaft Seals MC-2–MC-16
ManeCraft Deep Sea Seals are designed to replace traditional packed glands in marine propeller shaft installations. Unlike conventional stuffing box arrangements, the seals do not use sealing rings that rub directly against the propeller shaft, preventing groove formation caused by this type of contact.
The range includes 10 configurations covering different shaft diameters, mounting diameters, installation lengths and maximum permissible shaft speeds.
Alternative to Traditional Shaft Packing
ManeCraft Deep Sea Seals replace conventional propeller shaft packing glands without requiring regular repacking or packing adjustments.
The sealing arrangement is designed for straightforward installation and operation without routine seal maintenance.
No Shaft Contact from Traditional Packing Rings
The ManeCraft sealing system does not employ conventional packing rings that seal directly against the rotating propeller shaft.
This design avoids the shaft grooving associated with traditional packing contact. It also allows installation as a replacement for an existing packing gland without necessarily replacing a shaft that has previously developed wear grooves.
Integrated Emergency Seal
The ManeCraft Deep Sea Seal incorporates a built-in emergency sealing arrangement.
If external circumstances cause a problem in the propulsion shaft system and the primary seal begins to leak, the integrated emergency seal provides an immediate alternative sealing solution.
Installation and Maintenance
The sealing system is designed for straightforward installation and does not require traditional gland packing adjustments.
Regular checks of the vessel's shaft installation, seacocks, hoses and other below-waterline fittings should still be carried out as part of normal vessel maintenance.
