Why do shaft seals leak?
If there are no fluids available to lubricate, the seal runs dry which causes extra friction and heat. The seal will burn or melt and become damaged, which causes fluid leakage due to the pressure. Even a few seconds of dry running can cause heat cracks or blisters, which leads to a leaking pump shaft seal.
Which way does shaft seal go?
The seal must be installed at a 90°, or perpendicularly, to both the shaft and housing bore.
