Piston Seals

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 | 3 1/2 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

This capped piston seal consists of a filled PTFE cap, a T-shaped NBR energizer, and two split nylon backup rings. It exhibits low friction, high sealability, and excellent resistance to extrusion and wear.

PTFE Material | 105 MM 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 | 60 MM Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

Totally interchangeable with Style PS1400 PTFE piston seals, Style PS1500 piston seals are molded from tough 60 Shore D durometer polyurethane. During the molding process, a .002” thick band of molybdenum disulfide is molded into the outside diameter of the seal ring for reduced friction. PS1500 piston seals are easily stretched over the piston and recover rapidly with the elimination of the “cold flow” characteristics found in PTFE seals. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.

60 Shore D Durometer | Polyurethane Material | 1.36 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.

15% Glass Filled PTFE Material | 2.853 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

The PS1850-V piston seal can be used interchangeably with the PS1800 style piston seal. This seal provides improved heat resistance for demanding applications. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.

15% Glass Filled PTFE Material | 5 1/4 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

Molded from a PTFE base material with 40% bronze and machined to exacting tolerances, this seal exhibits low friction and high strength corners are chamfered for cold flow resistance.

40% Bronze Filled PTFE Material | 4 3/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

This seal, molded from high grade 55D polyurethane, may retrofit the PS1800 seals, considering all dimensions are comparable. This seal material, with a high degree of memory, stretches over the piston and snaps in the groove for immediate assembly. These seals also feature low friction and high abrasion and extrusion resistance which helps to eliminate assembly damage. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.

55D Durometer | Glass/PTFE Filled Polyurethane Material | 6 1/4 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.

94A; 70/80A Durometer | Urethane Material | 89 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.
