Compact seal
Compact piston seals are the definitive solution for modern hydraulic designs where maintaining high pressure within a short groove is critical. These multi-component systems typically integrate a high-strength sealing element with robust anti-extrusion rings and elastomeric energizers. At Carlock Sealing, we engineer these profiles to simplify cylinder assembly while providing the ultimate protection against pressure peaks and hardware separation in heavy-duty machinery.
Q: What is the benefit of a compact seal over a standard Glyd ptfe Ring?
A: While Glyd ptfe Rings offer lower friction, Carlock Sealing's compact seals provide superior extrusion resistance and are better at handling large clearance gaps and sudden pressure shocks. The integrated back-up and guide rings also simplify the piston design by reducing the number of individual components required in the assembly.
Q: Can compact piston seals handle bi-directional pressure?
A: Yes. Our compact piston seals are specifically designed for double-acting service. The symmetrical multi-component structure ensures consistent sealing integrity and stability as the pressure reverses, making them ideal for heavy-duty earthmoving and industrial machinery.
Technical Disclaimer: Compact seals generate higher radial forces due to their multi-component structure. Proper lubrication and cylinder bore surface finish (Ra) are essential to prevent heat build-up. Carlock Sealing provides material test reports (TÜV/SGS) to ensure the durability of all integrated components in your specific operating medium.
