Wave Spring Seals
Compact & Efficient Sealing with Advanced Wave Spring Technology
At GSI – Globe Seal Industries, we engineer robust wave spring seals that deliver dependable, space-saving sealing solutions across a wide range of light to medium-duty pumping and rotating equipment. Designed with innovative wave springs instead of conventional coil springs, these seals offer consistent face loading in a more compact design — perfect for modern equipment where axial space is limited.
Product Overview
Wave spring seals utilize a precision-engineered, flattened wave spring that provides uniform axial load on the seal faces. This configuration offers the same functional advantages of a traditional helical spring, but in a significantly reduced axial length.
Their design minimizes clogging in clean and moderately dirty fluids and allows these seals to fit into shallower stuffing boxes, making them ideal for retrofits or compact equipment designs.
Key Features
✔ Space-Saving Wave Spring: Delivers controlled face loading in a reduced axial space compared to conventional coil springs.
✔ Self-Cleaning Dynamics: Open design minimizes the risk of clogging with particles, maintaining consistent sealing pressure.
✔ Handles Minor Misalignments: Compensates for small axial and radial shaft movements without affecting seal integrity.
✔ Compact Modular Construction: Fits easily into restricted seal chambers or older equipment with limited installation depth.
✔ Suitable for Bi-Directional Rotation: Works effectively regardless of shaft rotational direction, simplifying inventory.
✔ Field-Replaceable Faces: Facilitates quick maintenance and prolongs seal lifecycle.
Materials of Construction
Our wave spring seals are crafted from a combination of carefully selected materials to handle diverse fluid and mechanical conditions, including:
Seal Faces: Carbon, Ceramic, Silicon Carbide, Tungsten Carbide
Secondary Seals: Nitrile (Buna-N), Viton (FKM), EPDM, PTFE to suit your chemical and thermal environment
Metal Parts: SS 304, SS 316, Duplex, or Alloy-20 for enhanced corrosion resistance
Wave Springs: Typically SS 316 or Hastelloy for superior fatigue resistance
We match materials to your specific operating media, temperatures, and pressure ranges for maximum performance.
