Piston Seals

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.

The PS1800 provides low friction, high strength piston sealing. The PS1800 also provides double-acting piston sealing in a compact design that meets the requirements of ANSI/B93-32-1973. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

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 | 1 5/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston T-Seal

A double acting piston seal with many features: Two compact seal edges to concentrate the load against the dynamic surface, a cavity between the two external seal edges to retain fluid (reducing friction and wear), side grooves to allow pressure to load the energizer in all working conditions, high sealing performance at low pressure, excellent wear-resistance, and high resistance against extrusion.

PS, 16.000 X 15.122 X 0.379 TFB

This two piece piston seal design comes made with a heat-stabilized, thermoplastic step-cut ring along with a profiled NBR energizer. This product offers extreme strength and resistance to extrusion, a very high resistance to abrasion, and ease of installation thanks to the step cut design and chamfered edges. The design also allows the seal to pass over ports without damage and offers greater resistance to surface roughness in comparison to any elastomer seals. The profiled energizer offers improved dynamic sealing ability, responding quickly to pressure changes and providing excellent sealing characteristics under a wide range of pressure conditions.

Glass Filled Nylon Material | 2.908 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

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 | 59 MM 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 | 1 1/2 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 | 1 7/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

The MPSU300 is a compact, double-acting piston seal consisting of two parts: a urethane sealing ring with a pronounced sealing edge and a rectangular nitrile energizer to prevent the seal from twisting within the groove. It also has low friction and smooth operating movement even at low linear velocities.
