Polypac Load Bearing Ring Solutions
Load Bearing Ring Solutions by Polypac
Precision Manufacturing
Polypac produces Load Bearing Ring components in a modern, 10,000+ m² facility with 8,000 m² of dedicated production space. Founded in 2008, we began with filled PTFE seals and have grown into one of China’s largest seal manufacturers. Our advanced production and testing equipment ensure each load bearing ring meets tight tolerances and consistent surface finish for demanding hydraulic and mechanical systems.
Materials & Performance
We supply Load Bearing Ring designs in a wide range of materials to match application needs: bronze-, carbon-, graphite-, MoS₂- and glass-filled PTFE for low friction and high wear resistance; elastomers including NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone and high-performance FFKM for sealing resilience. Material selection focuses on temperature range, chemical compatibility, low friction and load-carrying capability to maximize service life.
Custom Design for Special Conditions
Polypac specializes in customized Load Bearing Ring shapes, sizes and compounds to solve special working conditions—high pressure, abrasive media, or extreme temperatures. Our engineers collaborate with customers to tailor cross-sections, hardness gradients and composite constructions to minimize extrusion, reduce heat build-up and maintain sealing under axial and radial loads.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Every Load Bearing Ring undergoes rigorous testing: dimensional inspection, wear and friction testing, accelerated life cycles and chemical compatibility checks. We maintain long-term cooperation with universities and research institutions to keep our testing protocols and materials science at the forefront of industry standards, ensuring reliability for OEM and aftermarket customers.
Applications & Benefits
Typical applications include hydraulic cylinders, pumps, valves, compressors and heavy machinery where load-bearing sealing elements reduce metal-to-metal contact and extend maintenance intervals. Customers benefit from improved uptime, lower heat generation and predictable performance under continuous load.

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.
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.
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.
