Laminar Seal Rings

A Smalley Laminar Seal Ring is a metallic labyrinth seal consisting of multiple rings in a groove. This arrangement of the rings and the specific orientation of the rings are dictated by the application and the severity of the environment.
- Seals assembly components from contamination
- Numerous configurations available
- Produced from metal; not rubber, neoprene, or other non-metallic materials
- Able to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments
Laminar Seal Rings Available From Stock
Standard parts from 5/8" to 50" and 15 mm to 1,300 mm. Special Seals manufactured with No-Tooling-Charges™ Smalley's Laminar Seal Rings are interchangeable with FEY Rings. For installation information: click here.

Laminar Seal Ring Application Examples
Laminar Configuration
YSKD Series, (2, 2-Turn rings cling to the shaft & 1, 2-Turn ring clings to the housing)
Application
Pulley Idler The laminar seal ring set designed in this application extends the life of the ball bearing by keeping contaminants from penetrating the precision bearing surfaces. When the shaft rotates only the groove ring rotates while the housing rings remain stationary.
Environment
High contamination; 450° F maximum operating temperature; 1250 RPM maximum

Laminar Configuration
QSD Series configuration consists of 2, 2-Turn laminar seal rings (FEY Rings) that cling to a shaft. When an environment has excess contamination or an application requires additional protection, laminar seal rings may be used in combination to form an additional seal. This application doubles-up the QDS ring arrangement by incorporating a second set of rings in a secondary groove. To further the sealing effect, this connector has a third ring installed that creates an additional labyrinth.
Application
Connector The seal arrangement in this assembly has been custom designed for optimum protection against contamination. Gases build up pressure in a center cavity, protected on both ends from contaminants entering. Assurance has been built into the design so gases are clean as they enter and exit the center cavity.
Environment
High contamination: small particles and gases.
