Mechanical seal arrangement

Abstract

The invention relates to a mechanical seal arrangement, comprising a mechanical seal (2) having a rotating slide ring (3) having a first sliding surface (30) and a stationary slide ring (4) having a second sliding surface (40), wherein a sealing gap (5) is defined between the sliding surfaces (30, 40), a torque device (6) for transmitting a torque between one of the slide rings and a slide ring carrier (31, 41), wherein the torque device (6) comprises a plurality of transmission elements (60, 70) which are configured for transmitting torque between the slide ring carrier (31, 41) and the slide ring such that a total torque is divided over the plurality of transmission elements (60, 70), wherein the slide ring carrier (31, 41) comprises first receiving openings (61) having a cross-section that is curved and the slide ring comprises second receiving openings (62) which have a cross-section that is curved, and wherein the transmission elements (60, 70) are arranged in the first and second receiving opening (61, 62).
