Piston Seals

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 | 3 3/8 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.

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.

Glass Filled Nylon Material | 7.24 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

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 | 7 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Piston Seal

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

Designed to fit on one or two piece pistons, this piston seal employs a nitrile seal for high sealability, nylon split backups for extrusion resistance, and two split bearing rings. No further support bearings are required.

Features

• Easy assembly
• Low friction capabilities

These Style PSC are molded from Fluorotrel which is a tough, wear-resistant material able to run at temperatures up to 275 °F (requires FKM energizer). Fluorotrel is also resistant to fluids that are incompatible with polyurethane such as water, glycol, water in oil, mineral oil and petroleum. Consult our Engineering Department for other fluids compatible with Fluorotrel. Piston diameter “I” dimensions are given for pistons without wear rings.
