Precision & Power: Custom Molded Ram Cylinder Seals from Polypac

Introduction to Unrivaled Hydraulic Performance

Why Custom Molded Seals are Essential for Modern Hydraulics

In the demanding world of fluid power, the integrity and efficiency of hydraulic systems hinge critically on the quality of their sealing components. Standard seals often fall short when faced with extreme pressures, temperatures, or unique operational environments. This is where custom molded ram cylinder seals become indispensable. At Polypac, we understand that off-the-shelf solutions rarely provide optimal performance for specialized applications, leading to premature wear and costly downtime. Our commitment to precision engineering ensures your hydraulic cylinders operate at peak efficiency and reliability.

Understanding the Components: What the Image Reveals

The Anatomy of a High-Performance Hydraulic Seal

The accompanying image provides a close-up view of a sophisticated seal component, exemplifying the intricate design often found in our custom molded ram cylinder seals. This particular seal showcases a multi-component construction, featuring a robust black elastomer core providing essential resilience and primary sealing force, encapsulated by a lighter-colored, high-performance polymer. This outer layer, likely crafted from a material such as PTFE or a specialized urethane, is engineered for superior wear resistance, low friction, and excellent extrusion resistance under high pressure. This dual-material design is critical for achieving dynamic sealing in hydraulic cylinders, ensuring both flexibility and extreme durability. The precision and clean lines visible in the molding highlight Polypac's commitment to quality and precision engineering.

Benefits of Investing in Custom Seals

Question you may concern
Products
When should I use a spring-energized seal instead of a standard elastomeric seal?
Consider a spring-energized seal (e.g., GSF, SPN types) for demanding applications involving: Extreme Temperatures (below -30°C or above +200°C) Aggressive Chemicals that elastomers can't handle Very Low Leakage or "Zero Leakage" requirements Poor Lubricity or dry running conditions The internal spring maintains constant sealing force, compensating for wear and system variables.
How do I choose the right material for my sealing application?
Material selection depends on four key factors: Media: What fluid or gas will the seal contact? (e.g., petroleum oil, water, chemicals, steam) Temperature: What is the minimum and maximum operating temperature? Pressure: What is the system's operating pressure? Are there pressure spikes? Application: Is it a static, dynamic, or rotary seal? Example: NBR (Buna-N) is excellent for standard hydraulic oil, while FKM (Viton®) is needed for high temperatures or aggressive chemicals.
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.
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.
