Robust Piston Seal | Polypac Hydraulic Seal Solutions

Robust Piston Seal — Polypac Hydraulic Solutions

High-Performance Design

Polypac's Robust Piston Seal is engineered to provide reliable sealing in high-pressure hydraulic cylinders, minimizing leakage and extending service intervals. Designed for low friction and consistent dynamic performance, our piston seals maintain stability across wide temperature ranges and varying speeds to protect system efficiency and uptime.

Materials & Manufacturing Expertise

Leveraging decades of experience in filled PTFE and elastomer chemistry, Polypac selects optimized compounds—bronze-filled PTFE, carbon-filled PTFE, MoS₂-filled variants, and High Quality elastomers like FKM, NBR, and FFKM—to match application demands. Our 10,000+ m² custom rubber ring and O-ring factory employs advanced production and testing equipment to ensure each Robust Piston Seal meets precise dimensional and material standards.

Customization for Extreme Conditions

Every application is unique: Polypac offers tailored Robust Piston Seal geometries, seals for abrasive or corrosive media, and specialized blends for high-temperature or cryogenic environments. Our R&D collaborations with universities and institutions enable bespoke solutions for heavy-duty industrial, mobile hydraulics, and aerospace-grade requirements.

Quality Assurance & Testing

Polypac enforces strict quality control through laboratory testing, life-cycle simulations, and bench trials to validate sealing performance under pressure, thermal cycling, and contamination. Traceability and consistent batch control ensure your Robust Piston Seal performs reliably from first installation to end of life.

Why Choose Polypac

FAQ:

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.

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 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.
