    Elastomer Bellow Mechanical Seals — Replacements for John Crane, Sepco & EagleBurgmann

    Astra Seals manufactures elastomer bellow mechanical seals (also spelled elastomer bellows mechanical seals) engineered as direct dimensional and performance replacements for John Crane Type 21, Type 6A, Sepco 500 series, EagleBurgmann MG1/MG12 and similar rubber-bellows designs. The elastomer bellows replaces the springs and dynamic O‑ring of a conventional pusher seal, so the seal keeps face contact even in dirty, fibrous, or slurry-laden water where springs would clog.

    Every AS elastomer bellow seal is built to ISO 3069, DIN 24960 and GB 6556 shaft envelopes, so you can drop it into existing centrifugal, circulator, submersible, and booster pumps without modification. Standard face pairs are Silicon Carbide vs Carbon, SiC vs SiC and Tungsten Carbide vs TC; elastomers include NBR, EPDM, Viton (FKM), Aflas and FFKM for chemical, potable water, HVAC, wastewater and light-duty oil service.

    Common applications

    • HVAC chiller and hot-water circulator pumps

    Need higher temperature or pressure than an elastomer bellow allows? See our metal & PTFE bellow seals (up to 400 °C). For high-pressure clean-fluid service, compare with our spring pusher cartridge seals, or browse slurry & FGD seals for heavily abrasive service. Not sure which model fits? Send us the OEM part number or a photo of the failed seal — our team will cross-reference it to the correct AS model within one business day.
