Product Description

Product Overview

The Polypac Ball-Head Ring is a precision seal designed for applications that require self-alignment, low friction, and consistent sealing under angular or oscillating motion. Engineered for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, this ring minimizes wear and leakage while extending service life.

Key Features

  • Self-aligning design reduces edge loading and uneven wear.
  • Low friction profile improves efficiency and reduces heat.
  • Tight tolerances ensure a reliable seal in dynamic conditions.
  • Available in a wide range of sizes for easy retrofit.

Materials & Customization

Polypac offers Ball-Head Rings in common and specialty materials to match operating temperature, chemical exposure, and pressure requirements. Choices include NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone, FFKM, and engineered PTFE compounds (bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS₂, glass-filled). We also provide custom compound development for unique working conditions.

Applications

Ideal for hydraulic cylinders, rotary joints, pistons, valves, and other moving interfaces where alignment varies. The Ball-Head Ring performs well in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and offshore systems that demand durable, low-maintenance sealing.

FAQ

Can I reuse a seal?
We strongly recommend never reusing seals. Once compressed and used, a seal takes a "set" and its elastic properties are degraded. Reusing it almost always results in a leak. Always install a new seal during any maintenance or repair.
What is the difference between NBR and FKM materials?
NBR (Nitrile/Buna-N): A general-purpose, cost-effective material with excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels. It has a standard temperature range of -30°C to +100°C (-22°F to +212°F). FKM (Fluoroelastomer/Viton®): A premium material with excellent resistance to high temperatures (up to 200°C+), chemicals, and oils. It is used in more severe environments but is more expensive than NBR.
What is the difference between a static seal and a dynamic seal?
A Static Seal is used between two surfaces that do not move relative to each other (e.g., pipe flanges, end caps). O-rings and gaskets are common static seals. A Dynamic Seal is used between surfaces that do move (e.g., piston and cylinder, rotating shaft). Rod seals, piston seals, and rotary shaft seals are designed for this purpose.
What is the purpose of the metal spring in a rotary shaft seal?
The garter spring in a shaft seal (e.g., FSKR, SPGO types) provides a constant radial force on the sealing lip. This ensures consistent contact with the rotating shaft, compensating for minor wear, eccentricity, and vibration to prevent lubricant leakage.
