Michell® bulkhead sealing glands follow a standard
design, the principle of which is to provide controlled
leakage, where the propeller shaft passes through the
bulkhead in the event of operating under flooded compartment
conditions.
Features and benefits
- Spherical seating of the sealing gland accommodates
angular shaft movement up to 10° and radial movement
of up to 40mm.
- Each gland is sized specifically for each application.
- Gland can withstand over 10m head of water.
- Gland does not require manual activation in the
event of a flooded compartment condition.
The sealing gland contains a spherically seated whitemetal
bush in contact with the shaft, and a grease pump to
supply high melting point grease to the seal.
