Abstract
A mechanical seal for sealing against a rotating shaft includes a static ring positioned about the shaft and a movable ring positioned about the shaft and in sliding contact with the static ring. The movable ring is rotatable with the shaft and a tray sleeve is attached to one of the movable ring and the static ring, with the tray sleeve being selectively movable in an axial direction along the shaft. Wear between the static ring and the movable ring causes the tray sleeve to move in the axial direction. The tray sleeve includes an indicator and relative movement of the indicator along the shaft is in proportion to the wear between the static ring and the movable ring.
