Chesterton Matrix Rotary Seal Delivers Easy and Effective Gearbox Sealing

4 Sep 2020  |
A.W. Chesterton Company, a leader in sealing technology, has released the patented Chesterton Matrix Rotary Seal, a split seal using two material technologies designed to work effectively on worn equipment and large run-out shafts.

This unique seal protects pumps, gearboxes, and other rotating equipment by excluding external contamination and preserving internal lubrication.

ā€œThe Matrix seal was originally a custom design and has been so effective and popular that we decided to offer it commercially,ā€ says Ajay Aripirala, Director of Product Line Management for Chesterton’s Polymer Sealing. ā€œThis seal’s split design means it can be installed in a matter of minutes to minimize downtime.ā€

The Matrix Rotary Seal is a unitized design that combines two technologies: a polymer housing that energizes the seal and compression packing that creates a tight seal against the shaft.  Each seal is manufactured to custom equipment dimensions and requirements.
