Engineered To Be The Performance Leader

The modularity of these seals does not limit their capabilities. In fact, the seal family introduced a number of high-end design features that make the Universal Cartridge the most powerful seal of its kind.

Using John Crane’s proprietary computer analysis programs, CSTEDYSM and CTRANSSM, coupled with extensive product testing, we subjected and verified Universal Cartridge designs and materials to an array of varying pressures, tempera-tures, and fluids.

Modular Concept

The three basic seal configurations can be offered in a variety of arrangements to suit specific applications.

• All configurations share a common gland plate, mating ring, collar, and spacers.

• All single seals can be supplied with a quench gland.

• Pumping rings are available to assist barrier fluid circulation on dual applications.

The seal heads and mating rings are also completely reversible. With this capability, the seal can operate with either the seal head rotating to take advantage of self-cleaning rotational action, or the mating ring rotating, to achieve maximum seal face tracking and cooling.

The o-ring and metal bellows designs are available in dual arrangements.

Enhanced Performance Benefits

• Superior bellows design provides low face load resulting in lower heat generation, low face wear, lower power consumption, and longer seal life.

• Computer optimized seal face width and balance provide maximum tracking stability with minimum heat generation.

• Mating ring design accommodates severe o-ring expansion experienced in high temperature or corrosive environments.

• John Crane’s unique outboard seal flat drive sleeve adaptor provides superior torque transmission and drive reliability while eliminating sleeve distortion, stripped set screws, and axial misalignment during assembly.

• Inherent reverse pressure balance capabilities assure process containment in the event of a pressure reversal.

• The Universal Cartridge externally pressurized outboard seal arrangement improves cooling efficiency, allows venting of entrapped air, and avoids high tensile stress levels associated with internal pressurization.

The One Seal Family For Global Applications

The capability of the Universal Cartridge to fit both ANSI and DIN pumps is a result of John Crane’s extensive analysis of common pump models and feasibility studies. With a slightly different rotation of the gland plate, the Universal Cartridge is like no other in that direct ANSI/DIN interchangeability is achievable. The Universal Cartridge is the first seal family with global application.

The seal that changes to fit your environment will change

the way you do business.

Modular Family Concept

The modular family concept of John Crane’s Universal Cartridge will change your approach to sealing. Since the 5600 Series’ components are interchangeable, you can apply one seal family throughout your plant. This gives you the flexibility to cover more applications with less inventory, which means your maintenance is simplified, downtime is reduced, plant operating efficiency is increased, and costs are lowered.

Application-Tailored Arrangements

The Universal Cartridge’s unique design delivers the superior operational capabilities of a John Crane seal, tailored precisely to fit your application. Whether your conditions require an o-ring, metal bellows or elastomer bellows seal, the Universal Cartridge is built from the ground up to meet your specifications. The seal is available in single or dual arrangements, with the option of rotating or stationary seal heads.

Engineering Leadership

With John Crane’s engineering leadership, the Universal Cartridge achieves another notable benefit. It represents the first global cartridge seal designed specifically to fit both ANSI B73.1M and DIN 24960 pumps, and is qualified to API-682 Category I.

Standardizing with the Universal Cartridge family for the multiple applications in your plant will:

• Simplify installation and maintenance

• Standardize piping

• Increase seal reliability

• Reduce the possibility of misapplication

• Cut inventory requirements

• Streamline plant operations

• Simplify upgrades

This means ultimate efficiency with minimal costs—the most productive way to do business.

Dry Running

5610D single o-ring wet/dry running seal design is ideal for intermittent dry running of pumps that may be encountered on batch operations or tank loading or unloading applications. The type 5610D can be used on dry running top entry vessels operating at slow speed and low pressure.

5620D is a dual o-ring seal arrangement incorporating a dry running secondary containment seal. The 5620D eliminates the need for liquid lubrication and associated support system, contains primary seal emissions and nominal leakage, as well as provides an additional level of safety against process or system upsets.

Enhanced Drive Primary Ring

The “V” versions of the 5610 and 5620 seal family incorporate a robust ear driven primary ring which provides superior seal face torque transmission capability. The lug driven primary ring ensures maximum seal life under a wider range of operating conditions and is interchangeable with existing 5610 and 5620 seal heads.

Liquid Quench

5610L/5611L/5615L — These new single seal versions incorporate an external lip seal as the liquid quench containment device. This design allows complete isolation of the seal faces from atmosphere. These seal versions are ideal for crystallizing services such as caustics.

Expanding the Scope

John Crane continues to expand the technology envelope of the Universal Cartridge seal family. New extensions within the 5600 family include dry running capability, increased torque drive designs, liquid quench arrangements, and API-682 qualified Category I seal designs and upstream pumping seal technology.

Upstream Pumping

The non-contacting inboard seal uses patented John Crane spiral groove technology to pump a small quantity of a safe, product-compatible barrier liquid upstream to block leakage of the product being sealed. Provides reliable sealing for abrasive, low lubricity, and multi-phase liquids, because the upstream pumping effect keeps harmful particles away from the seal faces, and induces clean barrier fluid between them.
