Product Details

Overview

The Polypac Bidirectional Piston Seal Kit is designed to provide dependable sealing for hydraulic pistons that operate in both directions. Combining advanced filled PTFE and high-performance elastomers, this kit reduces leakage, minimizes friction, and extends cylinder life in industrial and mobile applications.

Key Benefits

Reliable Performance

Polypac uses proven materials such as bronze-filled, carbon-filled, and MoS2-filled PTFE to deliver consistent sealing under pressure. The design prevents leakage in both extension and retraction strokes, keeping systems efficient and safe.

Low Friction & Long Life

Low friction materials reduce wear on mating surfaces, lowering heat and extending service intervals. The result is fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs over time.

Easy Installation

The kit includes piston seals, backup rings, and guide elements sized for straightforward replacement. Clear instructions and precise tolerances make installation fast for technicians of all skill levels.

Materials & Custom Options

Polypac began with PTFE solutions and now offers a wide range of elastomers including NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone, and FFKM. If your application faces extreme temperatures, aggressive fluids, or special pressure profiles, Polypac provides customized seals and material selections to match those conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 does "AS568" mean?
AS568 is the Aerospace Standard that defines the dimensions for over 360 standard O-ring sizes. It is the most widely accepted sizing system in North America and globally. An AS568 number (e.g., AS568-214) specifies a precise inside diameter and cross-section.
Why did my O-ring fail prematurely?
Common causes of O-ring failure include: Chemical Incompatibility: Swelling, softening, or cracking due to fluid exposure. Improper Sizing: Using an incorrect size leads to over-compression or inadequate sealing force. Abrasion: Wear and tear from rough surface finishes or contaminated fluid. Extrusion: The seal is forced into the gap between metal parts under high pressure. Installation Damage: Nicks, cuts, or twists during assembly.
How important is surface finish on the metal parts that contact the seal?
Extremely important. A rough surface will abrade and wear out the seal quickly, causing leaks. A finish that is too smooth can prevent a lubricating film from forming. A typical recommended surface finish for dynamic applications is 0.2 to 0.8 μm (8-32 μin) Ra.
