Product Information

Product Overview

Polypac Nitrile Piston Seals are engineered for dependable sealing in hydraulic cylinders and reciprocating systems. Made from quality NBR (nitrile rubber), these piston seals offer excellent resistance to hydraulic oils, good wear properties, and stable performance in common industrial environments.

Why Choose Polypac Nitrile Piston Seals

Reliable Oil and Wear Resistance

Nitrile (NBR) material is well suited for oil-based hydraulic fluids. Polypac's compound formulation balances oil resistance with abrasion durability to extend seal life and reduce maintenance frequency.

Low Friction and Stable Performance

Designed for smooth movement and tight sealing, these piston seals help reduce energy loss in cylinders and maintain consistent performance over repeated cycles.

Customizable and Cost-Effective

Polypac provides bespoke sizes, cross-sections, and hardness options to match specific cylinder designs and operating conditions. This flexibility delivers an optimal balance between cost and performance for both standard and special applications.

Typical Applications

  • Hydraulic cylinders for construction, agricultural and mobile equipment
  • Industrial presses and injection molding machines
  • Marine and material handling systems
  • Any reciprocating hydraulic system requiring reliable piston sealing

Technical Highlights

  • Material: Nitrile (NBR) compound optimized for hydraulic oil compatibility
  • Operating temperature: typically -30°C to +100°C (dependent on compound)
  • Pressure capability: suitable for standard to high-pressure hydraulic systems (design-dependent)
  • Options: various hardnesses, lip designs and custom dimensions

Frequently Asked Questions

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 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.
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.
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.
