Low-Profile Seal Design by Polypac

Low-Profile Seal Design — Compact Performance from Polypac

Polypac specializes in Low-Profile Seal Design that balances minimal cross-section with maximum sealing performance. Our designs are optimized for confined assemblies and high-cycle hydraulic systems, providing reliable sealing with reduced friction and improved dynamic response. Ideal for aerospace, mobile hydraulics, and OEM equipment, our low-profile seals address modern demands where space and efficiency are critical.

Performance Benefits

Low-profile seals deliver lower friction, faster breakaway, and reduced stick-slip compared with bulkier profiles. Polypac’s engineering ensures consistent pressure handling, exceptional wear resistance, and extended service life even under fluctuating loads and temperatures. These benefits translate to improved system efficiency, reduced maintenance, and longer intervals between replacements.

Materials & Manufacturing

Rooted in advanced material science, Polypac manufactures low-profile seals from PTFE compounds and elastomers including NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM, and FFKM. Our heritage in filled PTFE (bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS2, glass) enables hybrid solutions—PTFE running faces with elastomeric energizers—offering low friction and excellent chemical compatibility. Production takes place in our >10,000 m² facility equipped with industry-leading molding, machining, and testing equipment.

Customization & Application Flexibility

Every application is unique; Polypac offers tailored Low-Profile Seal Design services—from dimensional optimization to material selection and compound tuning. We collaborate with OEMs and research institutions to adapt seals for extreme temperatures, aggressive fluids, high speeds, and limited installation envelopes. Custom O-rings, rubber rings, and PTFE components are available to meet exacting specifications.

Quality Assurance & Testing

Quality is embedded in our workflow. Polypac applies rigorous testing protocols including pressure cycling, leakage rate analysis, tribological assessment, and dimensional inspection. Our partnerships with universities and labs ensure continual improvement and validation under real-world conditions, guaranteeing consistent performance for mission-critical systems.

Why Choose Polypac

Since 2008, Polypac has combined scientific research, advanced materials, and precision manufacturing to deliver dependable Low-Profile Seal Design. As a leading Chinese seal manufacturer and oil seal supplier, we provide scalable production, rapid prototyping, and responsive technical support—helping customers achieve compact, efficient, and durable sealing solutions.

FAQ:
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.

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 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.

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.
