Search for Hydraulic Seals and Pneumatic Seals by specification

Hydraulic seals and pneumatic seals include piston seals, rod seals, U-cups, vee, cup, W, piston, and flange packings. Hydraulic seals and pneumatic seals are designed for the reciprocating motion that is common in hydraulic and pneumatic applications, such as cylinders.  Hydraulic seals are designed for high-pressure dynamic applications such as hydraulic cylinders. Pneumatic seals are used in pneumatic cylinders and valves and generally are designed for lower operating pressures than hydraulic seals. Pneumatic applications also typically demand higher operating speeds and lower friction seals than hydraulic applications.  These seals may be used for rotary and reciprocating motion.  Some hydraulic seals and pneumatic seals are composite. Composite seals are two- or multi-part seals manufactured as an integral unit. A typical composite seal consists of an integral PTFE ring and elastomer ring, providing the properties of an elastomeric ring with a rigid, low friction (PTFE) working face. These seals can have a variety of different cross sections. Some forms of composite seals are also referred to as polyseals, wedge-action seals, crown seals and tri-seals (3 part seals).  


Products & Services Related to Hydraulic Seals and Pneumatic Seals
Back-up Rings
Back-up rings or anti-extrusion rings are washer-like devices used to prevent seals from extruding through gaps while under pressure. Seals are installed in the downstream side of the gland.
Bearing Isolators
Bearing isolators are dynamic seals designed to protect bearings from outside contaminants.  They are comprised of a rotor (rotating) and stator (stationary) member.
Dynamic Seals
Dynamic seals include oil seals, hydraulic and pneumatic seals, exclusion seals, labyrinth seals, bearing isolators, and piston rings. They create a barrier between moving and stationary surfaces in applications such as rotating shafts and pistons rings.  This is a general search form; more detailed search forms are available.
Exclusion Seals
Exclusion seals are comprised of wipers, scrapers and V-ring seals.
Oil Seals and Grease Seals
Oil seals and grease seals have a flexible lip that rubs against a shaft or housing to prevent the leakage or ingress of fluids and dirt.
