🔍 Key Concepts

• Mechanical shaft seal construction – how the rotating and stationary faces form a very fine sealing interface • Surface finish and cleanliness – why highly polished faces are critical to sealing and wear • The role of contaminants vs. lubricants vs. handling in damaging sealing faces

💭 Think About

• Which part of a mechanical shaft seal is most sensitive to damage during installation – the spring, the faces, or other parts? • If even a tiny scratch or groove forms in the seal faces, what would that do to leakage and seal life? • Between dirt, lubricant, and hand contact, which is hardest to remove once it gets onto or into the sealing interface?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice focuses on the polished sealing surfaces themselves, not just supporting parts like the spring • Consider which problem would immediately affect seal integrity and cause leakage • Ask: which risk during installation is usually controlled by keeping parts in a clean, dust‑free environment and handling faces only by the non‑sealing areas?
