Polypac Heavy Duty Piston Seal: Robust Hydraulic Sealing Solutions

Polypac Heavy Duty Piston Seal — Engineered for Reliability

High-Performance Design

The Heavy Duty Piston Seal from Polypac is engineered to provide superior sealing performance in high-pressure hydraulic cylinders. Optimized for minimal extrusion, low friction, and long-term dimensional stability, this piston seal reduces wear and improves system efficiency across heavy machinery, mobile hydraulics, and industrial presses.

Advanced Materials & Construction

Polypac leverages decades of material science expertise to manufacture Heavy Duty Piston Seal configurations using filled PTFE compounds (bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS₂, glass) and elastomers like NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM and FFKM. These combinations deliver excellent chemical compatibility, thermal stability, and resistance to abrasion and extrusion under dynamic loading.

Precision Manufacturing & Testing

Our custom rubber ring and O-ring factory spans over 10,000 m² with 8,000 m² of production space, equipped with industry-leading production and testing equipment. Each Heavy Duty Piston Seal undergoes rigorous dimensional inspection, material verification, and performance testing to meet ISO and customer-specific standards.

Customized Sealing Solutions

Polypac specializes in bespoke sealing solutions for special working conditions. From unique compound formulations to tailored seal geometries and assemblies, our R&D collaborations with universities and research institutions enable rapid development of Heavy Duty Piston Seal designs for challenging environments, including high temperature, abrasive media, and long-stroke applications.

Applications & Benefits

Typical applications for the Heavy Duty Piston Seal include construction equipment, mining machinery, offshore hydraulics, and industrial automation. Key benefits include prolonged service intervals, reduced leakage, improved energy efficiency, and predictable performance under fluctuating pressures and temperatures.

Why Choose Polypac

Founded in 2008, Polypac combines scientific rigor with production scale to deliver reliable sealing products. As a leading hydraulic seal manufacturer and oil seal supplier, we offer fast prototyping, consistent quality control, and global support—making our Heavy Duty Piston Seal the preferred choice for engineers seeking durable, high-performance hydraulic seals.

FAQ:
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.

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.

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 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.

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.
