HYDRAULIC SEALS

Hydraulic seals are an integral component of most hydraulic systems. Usually made of a soft, flexible elastomer that provides exceptional water and air sealing capabilities, hydraulic seals are ring-shaped and primarily designed to eliminate or limit the leakage of fluid moving within a hydraulic or pneumatic system. Hydraulic seals also play important roles in excluding contaminants from and appropriately pressurizing the overall hydraulic system... Usually, hydraulic seals are located on the cylinder head, on the rod shaft, or in the piston. In these positions, seals keep fluid from leaking past the interface between the rod and head, from leaking to the outside of the cylinder, and from flowing across the piston... Since hydraulic seals are so critical to the efficiency of hydraulic systems, they are applicable across a wide range of industries. Industries hydraulic seals serve include aerospace manufacturing, agriculture, automotive manufacturing, chemical processing, defense..
