In a common type of stuffing box, rings of braided fiber, known as shaft packing or gland packing, form a seal between the shaft and the stuffing box. A traditional variety of shaft packing comprises a square cross-section rope made of flax or hemp impregnated with wax and lubricants. A turn of the adjusting nut compresses the shaft packing.

Early radial shaft seals utilized rawhide as the sealing element, and many present-day elastomeric seal companies were once tanneries. The advent of modern elastomers replaced rawhide, industry also added a garter spring , which helps the sealing lip compensate for lip wear and elastomer material changes.
Seal types: Induction sealing or cap sealing; Adhesive, sealant; Bodok seal, a specialized gas sealing washer for medical applications; Bonded seal, also known as Dowty seal or Dowty washer.

In mechanical engineering, an end-face mechanical seal (often shortened to mechanical seal) is a type of seal used in rotating equipment, such as pumps, mixers, blowers, and compressors. When a pump operates, the liquid could leak out of the pump between the rotating shaft and the stationary pump casing. Since the shaft rotates, preventing this ...
Shaft alignment is the process of aligning two or more shafts with each other to within a tolerated margin. The resulting fault if alignment is not achieved within the demanded specifications is shaft misalignment, which may be offset or angular. Faults can lead to premature wear and damage to systems.

Ferrofluid-based seals used in industrial and scientific applications are most often packaged in mechanical seal assemblies called rotary feed-throughs, which also contain a central shaft, ball bearings, and outer housing. The ball bearings provide two functions: maintaining the shaft's centering within the seal gap and supporting external loads.
