Circumferential Seals
Circumferential seals are designed to minimize the leakage of fluid or gases by either sealing directly against the shaft or by using a closely controlled clearance with the rotating shaft or other moving parts which creates an energy efficient seal.
Circumferential seals also have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance compared to traditional mechanical seals.

Seal Types
![Windback Seal](https://www.ergoseal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Products/seal-windback.jpg?width=140&height=140&name=seal-windback.jpg)
Windback
When working with “oil-free” rotary screw compressors or any other oil-free rotary machines, our windback seals are ideal.
FEATURES
- Zero power dissipation
- Windback seal utilizes shaft boundary layer to seal process oil or gas.
- Gas purge option.
- Typical uses include vacuum pumps, blowers, compressors, and other rotating equipment

Carbon Solid
Carbon solid seals are an ideal long-term solution for a variety of applications and industries.
FEATURES
- Retainer utilized for axial sealing inside the groove.
- Non-contacting, segmented,self-aligning carbon rings for controlled leakage.
- Face load 50-75% less than spring seal
- Short axial length
- Reduced friction on seal face lowers heat and wear resulting in longer seal lifespan
PARAMETERS
- Pressure: Vacuum to +290 psi abs
- Temperature: -184 ̊F to +400 ̊F
