Types of Hydraulic Seals

There are several types of hydraulic seals that are molded based on factors such as operating temperature, cylinder speed, operating pressure, application, and medium These seals are typically simple, non-metallic rings cast in the housing or assembled to form a sealing unit the installation of the. They are important for separating or blocking fluids in applications involving horizontal motion, and play an important role in machine tools by facilitating the conversion of fluids into linear motion

Water seals are typically made of a variety of materials, including rubber, PTFE and polyurethane. And selection of these seals depends on factors such as operating conditions, pressure limits, fluid type, temperature, and chemical compatibility. Compatibility with a specific business environment is also incredibly critical to productivity. 

In the area of hydraulic seals, there are static seals located in the center of the chamber with no movement, providing sealing in their confined area. On the other hand, dynamic seals include rod seals and piston seals. The rod seal attaches to the inner diameter of the hydraulic cylinder rod or shaft, while the piston seal attaches to the outer diameter of the hydraulic cylinder bore or tube
