Abstract
A bellows type mechanical seal is provided that is capable of reducing adverse effects on the bellows. The bellows type mechanical seal includes a first annular member fixed on a rotary shaft, a second annular member resiliently supported by the bellows in a housing axially to the outside of the first annular member, a seal ring having a first end seal face contacting the first annular member and a second end seal face contacting the second annular member, both seal faces being perpendicular to the shaft. A centering member is arranged contacting the inner surface of the seal ring and the inner surface of the second annular member within an annular space formed between both of the inner surfaces and the shaft to keep the sealing ring and the second annular member in alignment with each other.
