Piston Seals

Style PSA-58 piston seals combine a heavy duty, fabric reinforced seal with two polyacetal “L” bearings. This construction allows the seal to withstand pressures up to 5,000 PSI. “L” bearings also react to pressure to prevent extrusion and support the piston. For 2-piece pistons.

Fabric Reinforced Nitrile Material | 1 7/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

The Style PSC is a double acting piston seal designed to replace o-rings, quad-rings, and T-seals with the same groove dimensions (O-ring dash number). Style 575 urethane back-up rings may be added to either or both sides of the “PSC” to accommodate wider groove widths. The PSC is made of 95A Durometer polyurethane, giving it high extrusion and abrasion resistance. The crowned sealing surface produces a positive seal from vacuum to high pressure. Hercules® Sealing Products also offers a wide base (WB) Style PSC piston seal. These wide base seals have the same characteristics of the standard PSC seals but offer a wider base, eliminating the need to use back-up rings to accommodate wider grooves. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for piston without wear rings.

95A; 70A Durometer | Polyurethane Material | 2 3/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

Molded from 93 Shore A polyurethane with a 70 Shore A energizer, this seal utilizes the same groove dimensions as a standard o-ring or T-seal. One or two Style 575 back-up rings may be used for wider grooves. Extrusion resistant by design, this seal is also resistant to rolling and twisting. Installation is an easy two step snap-in procedure with no need to re-size before insertion into the bore. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.

93A; 70A Durometer | Urethane Material | 4 1/2 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

These piston seals provide bi-directional, low friction sealing with increased stability and superior leakage control. The square cut energizer provides low pressure sealing and eliminates backside leakage. This seal also effectively seals between different fluids on each side of the piston seal, making gas/liquid sealing combinations possible. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.

40% Bronze Filled PTFE Material | 5.16 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

Our Style PSU piston seal, or uniring, is a laminated one piece double acting seal made of cast polyurethane. The tough outer layer is highly resistant to abrasion and is impregnated with molybdenum disulfide to reduce friction. The softer inner layer acts as a static seal and also energizes the OD to make full contact with the bore. This seal may be used to replace an existing Uniring or other seals of the same dimensions – O-rings, O-rings with back-ups, T-seals, U-seals, etc. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.

60D & 57A Durometer | Urethane Composite Material | 1 5/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

A heavy duty double-acting assembly, the capped piston T-seal exhibits excellent sealability, extrusion resistance, and wearability. T-seals with “BR” suffix utilize a Bronze Filled PTFE cap instead of the standard Glass Filled PTFE cap.

PTFE; Nylon; Rubber Material | 4.27 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Capped Piston T-Seal

Features

• Glass-filled PTFE cap, nylon back-up, rubber energizer

6.000 X 5.274 X 750 Capped T BFT

T-Seals combine a resilient sealing ring with a hard, split back-up ring on each side of the sealing element. The assembly installs in a standard o-ring groove. T-Seals are non-spiraling and extrusion resistant to 5,000 psi with improved tolerances. Intermediate and Wide Base T-Seals are designed to fit MIL-5514F o-ring glands only and interchange with 1 o-ring / 1 back-up ring and 1 o-ring / 2 back-up ring grooves, respectively.

Buna-N Rubber Material | 3 5/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston T-Seal

Specifically designed as piston seals, these u-seals are engineered to seal on their outside diameter. They offer extended, service life and maximum reliability in piston sealing.

92A Durometer | Urethane Material | 2 in Nominal Inner Diameter | 1/4 in Cross Section | U-Seal

Molded from filled PTFE and machined to close tolerances, these seals feature low friction and excellent wear characteristics. Nitrile rings are used for energizers.

70A Durometer | PTFE Material | 64 MM Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities
