Designed specifically for Yankee Dryers, FG™ Series joints are externally
supported, with the seal ring assembly attached to the rotating cylinder
journal, while the counter seal is attached to the stationary joint body. The
joint body is rigidly secured to the machine frame by a bell, bracket or
rod support.
While pressure-type joints use operating pressure to maintain sealing, FG
Series joints use mechanical seals to lower seal contact pressure and
thus reduce wear and extend seal life, even under high-pressure
conditions. Seal wear is fully compensated through provisions for axial
movement of internal seal components. The joint body remains fixed
throughout the life of the seal.
The FG series will also accommodate dryers fitted with CARB* bearings.
