Hercules® Sealing Products is pleased to introduce our new line of PowerbandTM tight tolerance premium wearrings. Manufactured from a highly engineered blend of premium nylon, glass fiber, and PTFE, PowerbandsTM offer a high strength wear-ring for all cylinder applications, including those with minimal lubrication. And, with a Coefficient of Friction nearly 50% lower than our standard product, your cylinders will run smoother and more efficiently than ever. All PowerbandsTM are fully machined with cross-section tolerances of only ±0.001”, chamfered corners, and scarf or angle-cut end gaps. Compared to standard tolerances of ±0.0025”, this tightened tolerance improves the alignment and concentric operation of cylinder rods and pistons. The fully machined chamfered corners will better accommodate cylinder housing grooves, further improving piston and rod alignment. Lastly, the scarf-cut end gap reduces the loss of bearing support that may occur during cylinder side-loading. When combined, these features reduce the tolerance stack-up within the components of the cylinder. As a result, your cylinders will operate more consistently and be capable of operating at higher pressures and higher side loads than with standard wear-ring products. Furthermore, with this improved cylinder operation, your seals will last longer and the life of your cylinder will be extended. PowerbandsTM are currently available in our most popular wear-ring dimensions.

Asymmetric rod seal designed with precision trimmed sealing lips to provide a dry sealing solution in light and medium-duty applications. The Hallite 605 is molded in Hythane® 181, Hallite’s high-performance polyurethane, for easy installation and excellent low temperature performance. The twin lip design helps solve difficult rod sealing problems by providing lower friction, increased stability, and high, dynamic lip force, while preventing air penetration from outside the cylinder. Designed to have interference in the seal housing groove and has a secondary lip. The secondary sealing lip located behind the primary sealing lip improves stability of the seal in the gland. The inner dynamic lip is shorter and more robust to improve sealing and compression set characteristics over conventional, symmetrical U-seals.
The seal can be considered for use in heavy-duty applications when used with a suitable full depth back-up ring. The sealing lips are precision trimmed at an angle to give optimal rod sealing performance.

Single-lipped, snap-in rod wiper is designed to fit D-style housings.
The ST-XLF wipers are designed to fit the standard ST wiper groove. These wipers include a dust lip to prevent contaminates from entering through the groove. They also have a ribbed inside diameter for low friction operation and to prevent pressure traps between the wiper and rod seal. Developed specifically for use in harsher environments with heavy contamination, such as in agriculture, off-highway, and forestry equipment.
Urethane Material | 3 1/2 in Nominal Inner Diameter
Features
- Precision trimmed wiping lip
- Retrofits most ‘D’ wiper housings
- Especially effective in vertically mounted cylinders
- Designed to follow the rod deflection caused by side loads
- Interchangeable with Hallite 520 wiper
- Sharp wiping lip scrapes heavy contamination from rod protecting sealing system
- Umbrella Wiper Technology™ protects housing from contamination and reduces moisture ingress
Utilizing the same profiles as the Style 800 Polyurethane U-Seal line, these u-seals are molded from a fluorocarbon, compound. While being compatible with a broader range of fluids, these fluorocarbon seals will also operate, continuously at temperatures from -20° to +400 °F. NOTE: If you are not sure of fluid/seal compatibility, please refer, to the fluid compatibility chart in the appendix or contact our Engineering Department.

The Z-Seal™ is a squeeze type seal, combining the excellent sealability and low compression set of a resilient rubber lip with the greater anti-extrusion characteristics of a hard thermoplastic base. Under low pressure conditions, the sealing lip provides its own compressive seal force. As pressure increases, hydrostatic pressure is mechanically transmitted through the elastomeric seal element into the anti-extrusion base. The applied force then deflects radially in a controlled manner, closing the extrusion gap behind the sealing lip. Under this condition, maximum sealing effectiveness is achieved.
