Sealing solutions with excellent stability

Modern industrial machinery makes use of rubber as it it an indispensable product. Certain rubber products which are supportive to the functioning of machinery, are mostly used for industrial purposes. Rubber gaskets and seals the accessories that are used in many industries such as, mechanical engineering, aerospace, automotive and the plumbing industry for many kinds of sealing applications like fluid power seals and the likes. Many rubber manufacturers are into production of these supporting accessories for machinery by Darcoid Nor-Cal Seals, a rubber manufacturer, who is into manufacturing of rubber accessories is on the fringe to win the brawl, to emerge as the world leader among ace rubber manufacturing companies.

Fluid power seals from Darcoid Nor-Cal Seals have been designed specifically to complement one another to create high performance systems. For instance, pairing a Darcoid's rod seal with a wiper minimizes fluid leakage and maximizes contamination exclusion. Darcoid's rod seals are designed with knife-trimmed lips to ensure the best possible film breaking. A bi-directional fluid power seal is used in medium to heavy duty hydraulic actuators. A fluid power seal is a two piece design comprised of a standard size rubber square ring energizing a rectangular shaped PTFE cap. The fluid power seals from Darcoid Nor-Cal Seals offers seals and sealing solutions with excellent stability, long wear, low friction and extrusion protection.

Performances of hollow seals and Orings

Hollow seals and O-Rings are used in applications that require the seal to stay in the groove while not overfilling the gland or warping the enclosure lid or door. Hollow o-rings and seals consist of an elastomer inner ring and a seamless sheath which surrounds the elastomer ring. Similar to PTFE O-Rings hollow O-Rings are used wherever the chemical resistance of normal elastomer O-Rings are not sufficient. The required elasticity is provided by the elastomer ring, the chemical resistance by the seamless sheath.

Advantages of hollow O-Rings are that they are chemical resistant, a wide range of thermal stability, low permeability and low friction. Hollow seals are used as sealing elements, as energizing elements for hydraulic slipper seals and wipers and thus cover a large number of fields of application.

Encapsulated hollow O-Rings consist of an elastomer inner ring and a seamless sheath which surrounds the elastomer ring. Similar to PTFE O-Rings encapsulated and hollow O-Rings are used wherever the chemical resistance of normal elastomer O-Rings are not sufficient. The required elasticity is provided by the elastomer ring, the chemical resistance by the seamless sheath.

There are no fields of industry where hollow O-Rings are not used. From an individual seal for repairs or maintenance to a quality assured application in aerospace, automotive or general engineering. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal is a world class supplier of hollow o-rings and other rubber, sealing elements.

Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal is the manufacturer of various sealing solutions and accessories that aid the performance of machinary like hollow seals, die cut gaskets and spliced orings, EMI shields and more, and a distributor for the top manufacturers of seals, gaskets and rubber products. We are also a expert in supply chain management and value added distribution services, resulting in high quality seals and good cost value sealing solutions for your endeavour.

Standard and custom made hydraulic cylinder seals

Pneumatic Seals are designed for low operating pressure. Pneumatic Seals are vital in machinery. Pneumatic Seals may be used for rotary and reciprocating motion. Common pneumatic seals include rod seals, piston seals, symmetrical seals, V-Rings, wipers, rotary shaft seals, wear rings, static seals, back-up rings, o-rings, buffer rings, u-cups and gaskets.

Pneumatic seals are any of a class of seals used in applications including rotary or reciprocating motions. They are often used in pneumatic cylinders and valves. Pneumatic seals require minimal lubrication when exposed to air in order to create a tight seal. Pneumatic seals may also be exposed to high operating speeds at which the pressure is not high. The difference between pneumatic seals and hydraulic seals is pressure. Pneumatic seals typically have a pressure range of 1 to 150 pound-force per square inch (psi), while hydraulic pressure can reach greater than 10,000 psi.

A typical Hydraulic seal consists of an integral PTFE ring and elastomer ring, providing the properties of an elastomeric ring with a rigid, low friction, Teflon coated (PTFE) working face. Hydraulic seals can have a variety of different cross sections. Hydraulic seals include shaft outer diameter or seal inner diameter, housing bore diameter or seal outer diameter, axial cross section or thickness, and radial cross section.

There are two categories for these industrial products. These are dynamic and exclusion seals. A dynamic seal is one that is used in order to separate a fluid from possible contaminants. It is utilized in order to put a gap between moving and non-moving surfaces like those found in piston ring applications. When considering dynamic seals, it is important to focus into a variety of dimensions like inside diameters, outside diameters, axial cross section, radial cross section and housing bore.

Exclusion seals are those that are used in order to separate contaminants from machine bearings. They remove any debris from moving shafts. These hydraulic seals can be sub-classified further into V-ring, scrapers and wipers. V-rings are those made out of rubber while wipers are those with lip seals that are flexible. Scrapers are those that contain scraping edges used in the process of removing contaminants from the bearings.

Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal is a leading distributor of hydraulic and pneumatic seals. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal has been providing standard and custom-made hydraulic cylinder seals for a wide range of applications and industries for a long time as an industry leader and has been providing hydraulic and pneumatic seals for the Aerospace and Military markets where quality is of utmost importance.

Different types of rubber custom molded seals

To isolate vibrations, to dampen oscillations and more, it is rubber that regulates these tasks, especially gaskets, orings, seals and the likes. However, there is no default size, like say, 'one size fits all' to these solutions. So, custom molded seals process offer far better performance, longer lasting solutions and considerable savings. When it comes to custom molded seal, durability is everything. When you choose a prefabricated rubber component, there are many things that can go wrong. For instance, while it might be trimmed to fit your application, it is not custom made for your needs, so the fit might be off. A poorly fitted seal will be subjected to greater wear, reducing component life and increasing your costs.

Another consideration in durability is the type of rubber used. When you have custom rubber molded seal made specifically for your application, you can rest assured that the right type of rubber has been used. You have no such assurance with a preformed solution. Different types of rubber custom molded seals have varying degrees of heat tolerance. They also resist the effects of oil and other corrosive substances to different degrees. Chances are good that your application can benefit from one type more than another. Along with better durability, a custom made rubber component offers you better performance. While you can purchase pre-made isolators, pads and other products, having one made specifically to fit your application is a far better decision.

This allows you to match the exact dimensions of your application. When you think about it, you really cannot take chances with performance, as a lack of it will certainly reflect badly on manufacturing methods. Whether you're isolating vibration in industrial machinery or creating products for another industry, maintaining your reputation for quality is of paramount importance. In addition, you'll find that using the highest quality rubber components in your products will help increase your reputation. When your customers know they can count on your products, a long-term relationship can be founded, which is an essential consideration for growth and profitability.

It is imperative that you work with the right custom molded seal manufacturers. Finding the right company can be difficult. Darcoid has on offer a wide range of custom molded seals. With Darcoid Nor Cal Seal, which has experience in various areas of expertise, you can rest assured that your own rubber components will be manufactured to exacting specifications, by experienced craftspeople.
