Vulcan Seals Type 18 is an axially-compact elastomer bellows design, suitable for a wide variety of water pump applications. The design features a high flexibility to readily accommodate service misalignment and shaft run-out.
The sealing drive is provided by the elastomer bellows tightly gripping the shaft from a contact point under the coil end, providing bi-directional "non-pusher" performance that minimises shaft fretting.
Supplied with a Vulcan Seals Type 18 boot-mounted stationary, the Vulcan Seals Type 18 is designed to suit very short seal chambers with a wide radial clearance
