Piston Seals for Hydraulic and Pneumatic Applications
Popular piston seal types include:
U-Cups/U-Rings
Versatile and widely used, these seals offer excellent sealing performance and flexibility.
V-Rings
T-shaped seals often paired with backup rings, providing superior stability and pressure resistance.
T-Seals
T-shaped seals, often with backup rings, providing excellent stability and pressure resistance.
O-Rings
Simple, cost-effective seals ideal for specific applications with lower pressure demands.
Materials
Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
Cost-effective, good resistance to oils and fuels, but limited temperature range.
Polyurethane (PU)
Excellent abrasion and tear resistance, durable, and suitable for high-pressure applications.
Viton (FKM)
High-temperature resistance, excellent chemical compatibility, and suitable for harsh environments.
PTFE (Teflon)
Low friction, excellent chemical resistance, and suitable for high-speed applications.
Applications
Hydraulic Cylinders
Used in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, industrial presses, and automotive systems.
Pneumatic Cylinders
Employed in automation systems, robotics, packaging equipment, and manufacturing processes.
Actuators
For linear and rotary motion control in various industries.
Benefits of Using Effective Piston Seals
Leakage Prevention
Maintaining system pressure and preventing fluid/air loss, ensuring efficient operation.
Reduced Friction
Minimizing friction between the piston and cylinder bore for smoother movement and energy efficiency.
Extended Equipment Life
Protecting cylinder components from wear and tear, increasing the lifespan of the equipment.
Improved Performance
Ensuring reliable and precise operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Selecting the Right Piston Seal
Operating Pressure
The maximum pressure the seal needs to withstand.
Fluid Compatibility
The type of fluid or gas the seal will be in contact with.
Temperature Range
The range of temperatures the seal will be exposed to.
Cylinder Dimensions
The specific dimensions of the cylinder bore and piston.
