Contracting & Expanding Rings for Power Generation

Precision has custom manufactured seal rings for a variety of different power generation platforms.  Some examples include fossil fueled power turbines, steam turbines, nuclear power, wind power and hydro electric power.  Potential applications include tidal power and the manufacturer of bio fuels.

Power Generation covers the machinery and efforts used to generate electricity.  Electricity is generated by generators often powered by a turbine. Turbines can range in size from the very large, used by power plants, on down to micro turbines, used by individual businesses and disaster sites.

Precision Rings has been designing and manufacturing expanding rings and contracting rings used in power generation for many years.  Expanding piston rings are used in the nozzles of large turbines, and to seal the different sections or stages.  Precision Rings has designed and manufactured expanding rings for gearboxes.  Shaft seals, most often in the contracting configuration, are often used when a spinning shaft needs a seal against a stationary housing. Commonly referred to as contracting rings, these rings seal on the inside diameter.

Please contact Precision Rings to design and manufacture the correct expanding or contracting ring for your critical power generation application.
