SEALS
Seals for Automotive Agricultural & industrial applications
Oil Seals
Often called grease, fluid or dirt seals – close spaces between stationary and moving components in mechanical equipment, helping prevent lubricant escape. … In machine components, oil seals help prevent abrasives, corrosive moisture and other harmful contaminants from entering machinery.
High-Pressure Oil-Seals
Our high-pressure and medium-pressure rotary seals include standard, proprietary and patented rotary shaft lip seals that incorporate specific design and material features while providing the best possible sealing performance.
These design features can lower:
- Parasitic friction
- Heat build-up
- Seal and shaft wear
- Torque generation
- Required power consumption
Hydraulic Seals
Are relatively soft, non-metallic rings captured in a groove or fixed in a combination of rings, to form a seal assembly, to block or separate fluid in reciprocating motion applications. Hydraulic seals are vital in machinery. Their use is critical in providing a way for fluid power to be converted to linear motion.
Hydraulic seals are made from a variety of materials such as…
- Polyurethane
- Rubber
- PTFE
Pneumatic Seals
The pneumatic seal is mainly used to contain fluids such as compressed air and gas. To make pneumatic seals, materials with advanced properties are used, which offer the best compromise between friction loads, the type of fluids and the effects of temperature and pressure.
O-Rings
An O-ring, also known as packing or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a round cross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal at the interface.
D-Rings
D-Ring seals, designed to put an end to “spiral failure” in rotary applications
D-Rings are rings in the shape of a “D” that offers an alternative sealing solution to O-rings for use in rotary applications. They provide the same sealing properties as O-rings and can, in addition, be used in applications that experience high and low pressures, operating in a wide range of temperatures.
Circlips (Internal, External, Kits, Stainless Steel & Heavy Duty)
Circlips also known as C-Clips, Seeger rings or Snap rings are a type of fastener or retaining ring consisting of a semi-flexible metal ring with open ends which can be snapped into place, into a machined groove on a dowel pin or other part to allow rotation but to stop lateral movement. There are two basic types: internal and external, referring to whether they are fitted into a bore or over a shaft. Circlips are often used to secure pinned connections.
Since circlips are stamped out of sheet metal there is a smooth side and a rough side. To prevent potential damage, circlips are installed with the smooth side facing the part and the rough side facing out. Wet or dry lubrication is required for the circlip to maintain its function.
Circlips are designed to be removed with special circlip pliers (snap ring tool) which can be reassembled for internal or external clips
Split Seals
Split seals for heavy industrial applications in customized dimensions for housings with cover plates and axial clamping of the seal into the housing bore. … Both designs are available as split and solid seals to enable easy installation without shaft dismounting in large machinery.
V-Rings
A V-ring seal is a one-piece seal that is mounted on a shaft and seals axially against a counterface and normally rotates with the shaft. … The S type v-rings are designed for shaft sizes up to 200 mm. The A-type v-rings are designed for shaft sizes up to 2020 mm.
V-Packs
Vee packing is a highly adaptable sealing product. It is typically used in adjustable gland applications such as telescoping truck hoists, pumps and valves. Vee packing sets are composed of a top and bottom component with a varying number of centre vees. Vee packing can be optimized by altering materials to accommodate different chemicals, temperatures and pressures.
PTFE Products
PTFE seals, occasionally called oil seals, fluid seals, or dirt seals, offer a wider service range than elastomeric seals when it comes to temperature, pressure, shaft speed and the vast array of media that the seal encounters. … PTFE seals are manufactured from the blending of virgin PTFE with various “fillers”
Torric Seals (a.k.a: Lifetime Seals)
Mechanical face seals, also known as toric seals, duo cone seals, floating seals and heavy-duty seals are specifically designed to operate in environments where there is a high level of external contamination such as mud, sand, dirt and water.
Gaskets
A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. Given the potential cost and safety implications of faulty or leaking gaskets, it is critical that the correct gasket material is selected to fit the needs of the application
Rubber Sheets
Bonded Washers
A bonded seal is a type of washer used to provide a seal around a screw or bolt. Originally made by Dowty Group, they are also known as Dowty Seals or Dowty washers. Now widely manufactured, they are available in a range of standard sizes and materials.
End Caps
End caps are manufactured to the same high-quality standards as our rotary seals, offering you lasting sealing power you can trust to keep your equipment working over the long haul.
Diaphragms
The purpose of a diaphragm seal is to isolate a pressure measuring instrument from the process media. It is often used for the most difficult measuring tasks, such as when the environment is extremely hot or cold, or when a process connection is difficult to attach to the measuring instrument.
Hub Seals
Hub Seals protect bearings and shafts during operation, installation and removal by providing a built-in wear sleeve and rubber-coated metal casings.
