The Chesterton 186 Bellows Cartridge Single Mechanical Seal is an ideal solution for harsh chemical services that can cause difficulty with other seals. The 186 welded metal rotary bellows enhances reliability in certain applications by minimizing O-ring concerns. The high strength, low spring rate bellows core delivers low heat generation and reliable sealing performance. The self-cleaning rotary bellows design will reduce the clogging associated with sealing fluids and solids in suspension.
