Press Machine Piston Seal Solutions by Polypac
Press Machine Piston Seal — Reliable Sealing Solutions by Polypac
Polypac specializes in engineered Press Machine Piston Seal solutions designed for hydraulic presses and high-cycle piston applications. Combining our decades of materials expertise and modern factory capabilities, we deliver seals that minimize leakage, reduce wear, and extend cylinder life under extreme pressures and temperatures.
Performance and Materials
Our Press Machine Piston Seal range uses advanced materials including filled PTFE (bronze, carbon, graphite, MoS₂, glass), NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone and FFKM. These materials are selected to control friction, resist extrusion and withstand thermal and chemical stress. The result: seals that maintain stable performance across a wide range of hydraulic fluids and working conditions.
Precision Manufacturing and Customization
Polypac's 10,000+ m² facility and industry-leading production equipment enable precise fabrication of custom piston seals, rubber rings and O-rings. We partner with customers to adapt seal geometries, tolerances and compounds for special stroke lengths, surface finishes and press cycle requirements—delivering bespoke Press Machine Piston Seal designs ready for immediate integration.
Quality Assurance and Testing
Every Press Machine Piston Seal undergoes rigorous dimensional, material and performance testing in our advanced labs. Long-term fatigue, extrusion gap, friction and compatibility tests ensure consistent reliability. Our collaborations with universities and research institutes help us continuously improve seal life and reduce maintenance intervals.
Applications and Benefits
Ideal for hydraulic presses, forging machines, oil-field pistons and industrial presses, Polypac seals reduce downtime, improve energy efficiency and protect cylinder surfaces. Choose Polypac for lower total cost of ownership, fast prototyping and dependable supply at scale.

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.
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 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.
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.
