Hydraulic Seals
arrow_backTil oversigtenAvailable in a range of materials, including rubber, polyurethane and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). All of these materials are able to withstand high pressure and high temperatures, have excellent sealing capability against leaks and have good chemical compatibility.
Types of Hydraulic Seals
Piston Seals
Piston seals prevent fluid or other media bypassing the piston as the system pressure pushes the piston down the cylinder during a pressure cycle. They are generally single-acting seals, which means the stress acts only on one side; and double-acting seals, which means the stress acts on both sides.
Rod Seals
Rod seals are one of the most substantial components of a cylinder sealing configuration. The seals help prevent pressurised hydraulic fluid within the cylinder from leaking as well as keeping dirt and contaminants out of the cylinder, which extends the lifespan of the cylinder.
Wiper Seals
Wiper seals (also called scraper seals) generally are used together with other sealing components such as the rod seal. Their function is to scrape off dirt from the rod and prevent dirt entering the cylinder.
Wear Rings
Wear rings (also called guide-rings) are used to keep the piston centralised. Wear rings are used together with rod and piston seals to ensure even wear and stress on the seals.
