Abstract

A mechanical seal includes: a mating ring; a seal ring; a casing which includes a pop-out regulation portion supporting the seal ring not to be rotatable and to be axially movable and coming into contact with the seal ring to regulate the seal ring from popping out toward the mating ring; an urging member disposed between the seal ring and a back wall of the casing axially overlapping with the seal ring and axially urges the seal ring toward the mating ring; and an annular secondary seal sealing a gap between the casing and the seal ring. The casing includes a regulation wall which regulates the secondary seal from moving toward the side opposite to the mating ring and an axial dimension between the seal ring and the regulation wall is equal to or less than a half of an axial dimension of the secondary seal while the seal ring and the pop-out regulation portion are in contact with each other.
