There are two types of mechanical seals being described: Type A is a balanced pusher seal with a cartridge design, incorporating multiple springs and O-rings as secondary seals. It is a rotating type seal, where the seal components rotate with the shaft. Type B and Type C are both non-pusher seals featuring metal bellows and a balanced cartridge design. Type B is a rotating type seal, while Type C is a stationary type seal, where the primary sealing components remain stationary as the shaft rotates.
