A floating shaft seal is a system for sealing and protection against the entry of water and the like for boat parts<\/strong> (especially motor shafts). They are suitable for replacing stuffing boxes and, in certain cases, mechanical seals.<\/p>\n Our seal consists of a single piece of stainless steel (a lightweight and durable steel, widely used in marine applications) with a single seal with an LUP configuration. This leads to a maintenance-free seal which is completely safe<\/strong> and, if necessary, 100% rebuildable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Kiwi system uses a straight reinforced hose<\/strong> since it does not require great flexibility to provide compression like mechanical seals.<\/p>\n Thanks to these seals there is practically no shaft wear.<\/strong><\/p>\n All Kiwi Shaft Seal\u2122 seals are built individually and each unit has an engraved serial number that relates to the original customer history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
