A a new diamond coating for mechanical seals has been introduced that offers excellent protection against wear during dry running, in applications with mixed friction and under exposure to abrasive media. DiamondFaces, a specially developed crystalline diamond coating on the seal face, is extremely hard, exceptionally long wearing, and features outstanding heat conductivity, excellent chemical resistance and low friction, thus enabling considerable savings in terms of energy, says the manufacturer. Purchasers of this product say that the additional financial outlay pays for itself in a short period of time, since the diamond coated mechanical seals make for minimized wear and significantly longer service life. — EagleBurgmann Group, Houston, Tex.
