Chesterton Labyrinth Seals

A.W. Chesterton Co. of Stone- ham, Mass., is offering free litera- ture describing the new Chesterton

Labyrinth Seal that provides an ef- fective barrier against water or oth- er contaminants that destroy bear- ings.

The publication states that the

Chesterton Labyrinth Seal consists of a stationary that is pressed into the housing bore with appropriate sized mounting rings and a rotary that is driven on the shaft by Viton

O-rings. The close tolerances of these parts ensures effective sealing and efficient operation.

The seal is ideal for use in pumps, motors, compressors, fans, turbines, blowers, mixers, gear boxes, lathes, pillow blocks, etc.
