Polypac Polyurethane U-Cup Seals

Polyurethane U-Cup Seals by Polypac

Precision Engineering & Materials

Polypac Polyurethane U-Cup seals are formulated for superior wear resistance, elasticity and dimensional stability. Manufactured from high-performance polyurethane compounds, our U-Cups maintain sealing integrity across a wide hardness range and operating temperature window. The design concentrates sealing lip contact to reduce friction while ensuring effective fluid retention under dynamic movement.

Performance Advantages

U-Cup geometry plus polyurethane’s inherent toughness provides excellent extrusion resistance, long-term abrasion life and reliable rebound. These seals perform exceptionally in reciprocating and oscillating applications, minimizing leakage and reducing energy loss. Low friction characteristics extend actuator life and improve system efficiency while maintaining pressure capability in demanding hydraulic systems.

Applications & Industries

Polypac Polyurethane U-Cup seals are ideal for hydraulic cylinders, mobile equipment, construction machinery, agricultural systems, industrial presses and marine actuators. They are particularly well suited for heavy-duty, high-pressure environments where wear, contamination and repeated cycling challenge traditional sealing solutions.

Custom Solutions & Production Capacity

With a custom rubber ring and O-ring factory covering over 10,000 m² and 8,000 m² of production space, Polypac supports tailored U-Cup sizes, durometers and compound formulations. Since 2008 we expanded from filled PTFE products to a wide material portfolio (NBR, FKM, silicone, EPDM, FFKM) to meet special working conditions and compatibility requirements.

Quality Assurance & Testing

Our advanced production and testing equipment ensure consistent dimensional accuracy and material performance. Polypac maintains long-term collaborations with universities and research institutions for material development and rigorous lab testing, guaranteeing reliable field performance and traceable quality control.
