1. Product Introduction
Custom Gear-Tooth Profile Gaskets for Steam Turbines
Our bespoke gear type gaskets are precision-engineered sealing components specially designed for steam turbine barring gear assemblies, gearboxes, rotor flange joints, cylinder split surfaces and high-temperature transmission gear mating faces.
Also known as tooth serrated metal gaskets, gear profile sealing washers, they adopt unique concentric gear-tooth convex structure to deliver ultra-reliable sealing under high temperature, high steam pressure, frequent thermal expansion & vibration working conditions of thermal power, waste heat & industrial steam turbines.
All dimensional parameters, tooth profiles, base materials and coating layers are fully customized to match your turbine original equipment, retrofitted units or newly designed turbine systems.
2. Unique Gear-Tooth Structural Advantages
Multi-Line Compression Sealing Performance
The continuous concentric gear tooth ridges form multiple independent sealing loops after bolt tightening. Even under turbine thermal cycling, slight flange deformation or minor surface scratches, the gear teeth can closely fit the metal contact surface to block steam leakage, far outperforming flat metal gaskets and ordinary spiral wound gaskets.
Strong Anti-Vibration Stability
The serrated gear tooth structure provides excellent elastic buffer capacity against low-frequency vibration from turbine barring gears and rotor rotation. No gasket shifting, crushing or seal failure during long-term continuous unit operation.
Uniform Stress Distribution
Precision CNC machined symmetrical gear tooth profile ensures even compression stress across the whole gasket surface, avoiding local over-compression and tooth breakage during installation.
Reusable & Easy Maintenance
Compared with disposable soft packing gaskets, our metal gear type gaskets maintain complete tooth structure after disassembly, available for repeated use in planned turbine overhauls, cutting spare part procurement costs.
