• Optimized Spring Rate: The spring design is tuned to provide adequate face loading in a shorter compressed length, ensuring a tight seal without excessive face wear.
• Shaft Protection: The interference fit of the spring and rubber bellows protects the shaft area under the seal from corrosion.
Key Features
• Compact Duty: A specialized variant of the M3 series, the M3255 is designed for specific pump housings with limited axial space.
• Reliable Performance: Maintains the robust conical spring drive mechanism of the M3 family but in a more compact envelope.
• Economic Solution: A cost-effective repair solution for mass-produced domestic and light industrial water pumps.

Case Study
Domestic Booster: A residential pressure booster pump failed. The OEM seal was unavailable separately. We identified it as an M3255 type. The replacement fit the tight housing perfectly, saving the homeowner from buying a new pump.
Testimonials
Hard to find these specific M3 variants sometimes. Glad you stock the M3255. It's a lifesaver for older pumps.

FAQs about Metal Bellows Seals for High Temperature Pumps
Q: How do I know if I need M3255 or standard M3?
A: Measure the installed working length (L1k) of your old seal. M3255 has a specific short length compared to the standard M3N. Check our dimension chart to confirm.
