Flexible Brush Seal
Our Flexible Brush Seal is designed for gas expanders operating at high rotational speeds. The bristles are arranged along the rotation direction for optimal flexibility. Nickel-chromium superalloy bristles, 0.04–0.09 mm in diameter with a density of 110–170 bristles per square millimeter, form a micro-gap fit with the shaft. They automatically compensate for axial and radial runout, eliminating hard-contact friction and wear.

Key Advantages
1. Ideal for High-Speed Expanders
Our Flexible Brush Seal is designed for gas expanders operating at high rotational speeds. The bristles are arranged along the rotation direction for optimal flexibility. Nickel-chromium superalloy bristles, 0.04–0.09 mm in diameter with a density of 110–170 bristles per square millimeter, form a micro-gap fit with the shaft. They automatically compensate for axial and radial runout, eliminating hard-contact friction and wear.


2. Wide Temperature Range Performance
The seal works reliably from cryogenic -196°C to 550°C. Bristles remain flexible and strong under extreme temperatures. Leakage is reduced by 65% to 80% compared to conventional labyrinth seals, minimizing medium loss and improving expander efficiency. Compatible with nitrogen, natural gas, and other process gases, it ensures optimal operational performance.
3. Proven Aerospace and Power Industry Technology
Developed since 2013, our brush seals are a mature, reliable solution for aerospace and power applications. Each Flexible Brush Seal can be customized to the expander's speed and shaft diameter.
