Maintenance-friendly mechanical seal

The invention relates to a mechanical seal arrangement comprising a mechanical seal (10) including a rotating slide ring (2) and a stationary slide ring (3), defining a seal gap (4) therebetween, a one-piece, ring-shaped slide ring carrier (5), which holds the stationary slide ring (3), a one-piece, ring-shaped cover (6), which is arranged on the slide ring carrier (5), a one-piece, ring-shaped housing (7), which is detachably fixed to the cover (6) using fixing device (8), and a one-piece first retaining ring (9), which is detachably arranged on the slide ring carrier (5), wherein the stationary slide ring (3) is clamped between the first retaining ring (9) and the cover (6), and wherein the slide ring carrier (5) is connected to the slide ring carrier (5) by means of at least one elastic biasing member (19) such that the slide ring carrier (5) can perform movements in the axial direction of the mechanical seal arrangement together with the stationary slide ring (3).
