High-Speed Cylinder Seal - Polypac
High-Speed Cylinder Seal — Polypac
Overview
Polypac’s High-Speed Cylinder Seal category is engineered for hydraulic systems that demand exceptional speed, low friction, and long service life. As a scientific and technical hydraulic seal manufacturer and oil seal supplier, Polypac combines over a decade of materials expertise with large-scale manufacturing capability and ongoing collaboration with universities to deliver seals optimized for high-speed cylinders.
Key Features
High-Speed Cylinder Seal features include low dynamic friction, minimal stick-slip, tight extrusion resistance, and excellent wear behavior. These attributes reduce heat generation and energy loss in rapid reciprocating applications, improving responsiveness and extending component life.
Materials & Construction
Our High-Speed Cylinder Seal solutions use advanced materials such as filled PTFE (bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS₂, glass) and engineered elastomers including NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM and FFKM. Multi-component designs—combining PTFE running surfaces with optimized rubber energizers—ensure a balance of low friction, sealing reliability and pressure handling for high-speed operation.
Performance & Testing
Every High-Speed Cylinder Seal undergoes rigorous bench and field testing for friction coefficients, wear rates, extrusion resistance and thermal stability. Polypac’s in-house testing capabilities and industry-standard equipment verify performance across temperature ranges, pressures and surface speeds typical of modern hydraulic cylinders.
Customization & Applications
Polypac provides custom High-Speed Cylinder Seal designs tailored to aerospace actuators, mobile hydraulics, industrial presses, injection molding machines and specialty automation. With a 10,000 m² facility and advanced production lines, we offer custom rubber rings, O-rings and PTFE profiles to meet special working conditions and precise dimensional requirements.
Why Choose Polypac?
Founded in 2008, Polypac combines deep material science, large-scale manufacturing and partnerships with research institutes to deliver reliable High-Speed Cylinder Seal solutions. Our quality control, rapid prototyping and material development ensure seals that lower maintenance costs, improve system efficiency and excel in demanding environments.

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.
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 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.
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 can I prevent seal damage during installation?
Use Tools: Always use dedicated installation tools (e.g., picks, cones, guides). Lubricate: Always lubricate the seal and the contact surface. Protect Sharp Edges: Cover sharp threads and edges with tape or use an installation sleeve. Check the Groove: Ensure the installation groove is clean, deburred, and undamaged.
