HYDRAULIC & PNEUMATIC SEALS
Hydraulic Seals are a non-metallic ring that is mostly soft with a groove or in a combination of rings. This forms a seal to help separate or block fluids in reciprocating motion type applications. Hydraulic Seals are very important when it comes to machinery. Hydraulic Seals are made from a variety of materials like rubber, PTFE, and polyurethane. The material is based on multiple things such as; operating conditions, temperature, pressure, fluid chemical compatibility, and fluid type. Depending on the application other materials may be used such as; Viton, NBR, filled PTFE, and EPDM. Pneumatic Seals just like Hydraulic Seals are applications for fluid power. Pneumatics uses more compressible gas like air and Hydraulic Seals are more for liquid like oil. Take a look a the following Seals below or call today and speak with one our experienced agents and we can help with any material questions.
HYDRAULIC SEALS
PISTON SEALS
ROD AND PISTON SEALS
PISTON SEALS
Piston Seals help with sealing between the cylinder bore and piston and are exposed to movement. Piston seals come in a wide range of materials such as; thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), nitrile rubber (NBR), polyamide (PA), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Good for Agricultural and Industrial machinery, Automotive applications, off-road equipment, and hydraulic presses.
ROD SEALS
ROD AND PISTON SEALS
PISTON SEALS
Rod Seal which is a type of Dynamic seal you can see on the inner diameter alongside the shaft or rod of a hydraulic cylinder. These seals help to prevent any leaks from within the cylinder to the outside. Rod Seals also help keep dirt and other harmful materials out of the cylinder. Usually installed in a groove in the cylinder so it can provide a good tight seal against the piston shaft. Good for Agriculture, industrial applications, or mobile hydraulic.

WIPERS
GUIDING ELEMENTS
ROD AND PISTON SEALS
Wiper Seals (also known as scrapers, excluders, or dust) are an axial seal that allows a reciprocating shaft to pass through the seals inside bore. These seals are used to contain fluids and help prevent dirt from getting in the reciprocating shaft mechanism. Wipers are typically used on hydraulic and pneumatic seals. Without a wiper seal the piston rod that is retracting could transport contaminants into a cylinder.

GUIDING ELEMENTS
Guide Rings and Guide strips are the most commonly used guides in hydraulic cylinders. Guides are made of polymer material and help to prevent metal-on-metal contact with moving parts in the working hydraulic cylinder. Some advantages Polymer guides seem to hold over metal are; more smooth against the cylinder bore and sealing surfaces, great resistance to not enough lubrication at lower speeds, and significantly longer service life.
U-Cups

GUIDING ELEMENTS
U-cup Seals (also known as PolyPaks or Style 850) have an O-Ring placed within the ring. The most common material used in U-cups is polyurethane and other materials are used depending on the task on hand. U-cups can be made in any size inch or metric dimensions. Deep style and square style U-cups are common.
