U-Cup Seal Kit — Polypac Hydraulic Sealing Solutions

U-Cup Seal Kit — Reliable Hydraulic Sealing by Polypac

Polypac designs and manufactures High Quality U-Cup Seal Kits for hydraulic cylinders and reciprocating applications. Our kits combine low friction, excellent extrusion resistance and long service life. Built from advanced PTFE-filled materials and high-performance elastomers, the U-Cup Seal Kit supports demanding pressures, wide temperature ranges and varied media.

Applications & Performance

The U-Cup Seal Kit is ideal for hydraulic pistons and rods across construction, mobile hydraulics, industrial presses and marine equipment. With optimized lip geometry, the kit minimizes leakage, reduces stick-slip and maintains sealing integrity under high pressure and frequent cycling.

Materials & Manufacturing Excellence

Polypac produces U-Cup Seal Kits using bronze-, carbon-, MoS₂- and glass-filled PTFE as well as NBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone and FFKM elastomers. Our factory spans over 10,000 m² with 8,000 m² of production space and advanced molding and testing equipment, ensuring consistent tolerances and material traceability for every U-Cup Seal Kit.

Customization & Special Conditions

Every U-Cup Seal Kit can be tailored for temperature extremes, aggressive fluids or space-constrained designs. We collaborate with universities and research institutes to develop compound formulations and custom housings—delivering bespoke kits for unique operating conditions.

Quality Assurance & Testing

Polypac implements rigorous dimensional inspection, material analysis and functional testing for each U-Cup Seal Kit. Our in-house labs validate wear, extrusion resistance and friction coefficients so that you receive reliable kits ready for OEM production or aftermarket replacement.

Benefits of Choosing Polypac

Choosing a Polypac U-Cup Seal Kit means predictable performance, scalable production and responsive technical support. Our deep expertise in filled PTFE and elastomer seals ensures extended service life, reduced maintenance costs and improved system efficiency.

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.

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.

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 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.
