Rotary Seals
Every item of rotating plant and equipment - from a lawn sprinkler to a hot steel rolling mill or hydroelectric power scheme - relies on rotary sealing systems to keep it working efficiently.
The four main points to consider are:
- Bearing protection
- Lubricant retenion
- Exclusion of contaminants
- Minimising the leakage of fluid media.
James Walker caters for these needs at every industrial level with five complete families of seals, and a patented installation technique that avoids costly dismantling.

Blade root seals
The slow oscillating blade roots of Kaplan turbines used in hydropower generation present particular maintenance problems.
Our seals have been specifically designed, developed and proven for their long operational life and ease of replacement in the confined working environment, thus cutting turbine downtime to the minimum.

Cartridge seals
A cartridge seal from James Walker will provide the total solution to your rotary shaft sealing problems - particularly where standard methods and products are unlikely to succeed.
Our service is based on an intimate knowledge of your industry and its fluid sealing requirements.
The cartridge seal we provide to solve your problem will be produced in one of three ways:
- Custom designed and manufactured specifically to meet your operational parameters, or
- Based on a standard design and assembled from modular components, or
- A highly-engineered standard unit that we know will meet your demands.
