Product Information

Product Overview

The Polypac Vented Rod Seal is engineered to protect hydraulic cylinders from pressure build-up and contamination while reducing wear on the rod and seal lips. Its vented design allows trapped air or fluid to escape, preventing cavitation and improving seal life. Designed for easy installation and consistent performance, this seal is ideal for mobile and industrial hydraulic applications.

Key Benefits

  • Pressure relief — Vented groove prevents internal pressure build-up and reduces blow-by.
  • Lower friction — Optimized profile reduces stiction and energy loss, improving system efficiency.
  • Extended service life — Materials and design minimize wear on both rod and seal.
  • Contamination resistance — Helps keep dirt and debris away from critical sealing surfaces.
  • Easy replacement — Standard sizes and clear installation guidance shorten maintenance time.

Question you may concern

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.
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.
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.
