Install A John Crane Bellows Seal

A John Crane Metal Bellow Seal is a device designed for seals that require high temperatures. The John Crane Metal Bellows Seal is capable of handling carbonization, as well as thermal growth and high speeds. The John Crane Metal Bellows Seal is used for a variety of functions, including edge-welding and industrial pumping. The seal can be installed without expensive modification to the sealing chamber. Installing the seal is the step that immediately precedes installing the cartridge seals and the ECS.
