Seal with Backup Ring Solutions | Polypac Hydraulic Seal Solutions

Seal with Backup Ring Overview

Seal with Backup Ring systems are essential for preventing extrusion and extending the life of primary seals in high-pressure hydraulic assemblies. Polypac's Seal with Backup Ring products combine precision-molded elastomeric elements and engineered backup rings to deliver consistent sealing performance across diverse operating conditions. Leveraging our 10,000 m² facility and decades of R&D, Polypac ensures each Seal with Backup Ring meets demanding tolerance, wear, and compatibility requirements.

Key Benefits of a Seal with Backup Ring

The Seal with Backup Ring design dramatically reduces extrusion risk at elevated pressures while maintaining low friction and leak-tight performance. Benefits include improved operational reliability, extended service intervals, and reduced downtime. Polypac integrates material science—NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone, FFKM—and PTFE composites to optimize the balance between resilience and friction for each Seal with Backup Ring application.

Materials & Customization

Polypac provides custom Seal with Backup Ring options tailored to chemical compatibility, temperature ranges, and dynamic or static service. From bronze-filled and carbon-filled PTFE to MoS2 and glass-filled variants, our material portfolio supports both extreme temperatures and aggressive fluids. Our in-house testing and collaboration with universities ensures every Seal with Backup Ring is validated for performance before delivery.

Applications and Industries

Seal with Backup Ring assemblies are widely used in hydraulic cylinders, valves, pumps, and subsea equipment. Polypac's customers span construction machinery, oil & gas, automotive, and industrial automation—where pressure spikes, thermal cycling, and abrasive media demand robust sealing solutions. We design each Seal with Backup Ring to meet industry standards and customer-specific installation constraints.

FAQ:
What does "AS568" mean?

AS568 is the Aerospace Standard that defines the dimensions for over 360 standard O-ring sizes. It is the most widely accepted sizing system in North America and globally. An AS568 number (e.g., AS568-214) specifies a precise inside diameter and cross-section.

What is the difference between NBR and FKM materials?

NBR (Nitrile/Buna-N): A general-purpose, cost-effective material with excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels. It has a standard temperature range of -30°C to +100°C (-22°F to +212°F). FKM (Fluoroelastomer/Viton®): A premium material with excellent resistance to high temperatures (up to 200°C+), chemicals, and oils. It is used in more severe environments but is more expensive than NBR.

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 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.
