There are various types of seals used in blowers such as labyrinth seals, mechanical seals, and oil seals.

• Labyrinth seals are non-contact seals that use a series of rotating and stationary blades to create a tortuous path for the air to pass through.

• Mechanical seals use a rotating and stationary face to create a seal and prevent leakage.

• Oil seals are used to prevent lubricant from leaking out of the blower and contamin...read more
