Centurion Brush Seal
Eaton’s Centurion Improved Brush Seals are very high tip speed, high temperature seals, usually applied in the secondary and tertiary flow paths in gas turbine engines, capable of surface speeds up to 1,100 f/s (feet per second) and withstanding temperatures up to 1,200°F (648°C). As a replacement for labyrinth leals, brush seals evidence 20% to 40% less leakage while their bristles are in optimal condition. In addition, Centurion Improved Brush Seals weigh far less than labyrinth seals and take less axial cavity space.
