Stern Tube Seal | 100% Water Lubricated

Mide-Hutchinson’s line of Stern Tube Seals offer environmentally friendly, water lubricated sealing systems that combine engineering innovations and advanced materials aimed at reducing ownership costs by allowing vessels to operate for longer intervals between maintenance. Many high-performance mechanical face seals use silicon carbide (SiC) or other hard face seal materials which are difficult to work with and brittle. Midé’s seals use innovative durable materials with ultra-low friction leading to superior wear properties, long life and thus reduced total ownership cost (TOC), even in the harshest environments. Blue water or brown water, Midé’s shaft seals will outperform and extend service life. Midé’s Stern Tube Seals can also incorporate its HyroActive technology as a backup seal that automatically engages in situations where the main seal may be compromised - allowing the ship to continue to operate and return to a location where repairs can be performed.
