Metric Piston Seals — Precision Sealing Solutions by Polypac

Metric Piston Seals — Precision Sealing Solutions by Polypac

Overview

Polypac's Metric Piston Seals are engineered for reliable, low-friction sealing in hydraulic cylinders and reciprocating applications. Designed for metric dimensions and manufactured to exacting tolerances, these piston seals provide consistent contact, reduced wear and extended service life. Whether for OEM production or aftermarket replacement, our Metric Piston Seals balance sealing efficiency with energy-saving performance.

Materials & Technology

We leverage decades of expertise in PTFE compounds and elastomers. Our product range includes bronze-, carbon-, graphite-, MoS2- and glass-filled PTFE variants, plus elastomeric options such as NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone and FFKM. This material diversity enables us to tailor friction, chemical resistance and temperature performance for each application—ensuring Metric Piston Seals perform in high pressure, high temperature, abrasive or chemically aggressive environments.

Customization & Manufacturing

Polypac's custom rubber ring and O-ring factory spans over 10,000 m² with 8,000 m² of production space and industry-leading equipment. We offer precision machining, compound formulation and bespoke seal geometries to meet special working conditions. From metric standard sizes to fully customized piston seal profiles, our manufacturing process supports high-volume consistency and rapid prototyping for qualification runs.

Applications & Performance

Our Metric Piston Seals are optimized for hydraulic cylinders in mobile hydraulics, industrial presses, agricultural equipment and heavy machinery. They ensure minimal leakage, stable sealing under side loads and excellent resistance to extrusion and wear. The result: higher system reliability, reduced maintenance intervals and improved operational uptime.

Quality Assurance & R&D

Polypac maintains rigorous testing and quality control with advanced inspection and simulation tools. Since 2008 we’ve partnered with universities and research institutes to develop sealing materials and validate performance. Every batch undergoes dimensional checks, material verification and functional testing to meet international standards.

Why Choose Polypac

Choose Polypac for Metric Piston Seals when you need proven materials science, large-scale manufacturing capability and flexible customization. We deliver OEM-grade seals, technical support and fast supply chains to solve demanding sealing challenges—contact us to specify materials, tolerances and delivery for your next project.

FAQ:
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.

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.

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.
