Packing Merkel® Carboflex 6587

Design Sketch
Installation Sketch

  • Braided and impregnated stuffing box packing
  • Square cross-section
  • Carbon yarn based with special impregnation
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Good heat dissipation
  • Low friction
Most commonly used in the following applications:
  • Sealing of rotating shafts or translating rods
  • Sealing effect due to axial compression by means of stuffing box gland
  • Very stable behaviour in terms of volume
  • No uncontrolled heat development at high sliding speeds, due to low coefficient of expansion, low coefficient of friction and ability to overcome critical running-in phase more easily
  • Favourable running-in process due to special lubricant and impregnation adapted to carbon fibre
