PBS South Booth 211 - The MECO AH Type-2 seal is a fully-custom, pneumatically loaded shaft seal. In most cases, split components can be used, which makes replacing parts easy and minimizes maintenance downtime.

This seal model can be used on horizontal, inclined, and vertical shafts. It is appropriate for applications with infrequent thermal expansion or pressure changes. It can be adjusted to extend the life of the seal.

The AH Type-2 is frequently used where an air or an inert gas barrier is needed to isolate the process from the atmosphere. It can also be designed for explosive environments.
