Standard sized fluid power seals

Seals have been used since ancient times and have evolved into a wide variety of shapes and materials. For those who are not familiar with sealing technology, the number of options available can be confusing. Selecting the most suitable product for a given application can be difficult. This engineering section will assist in product selection by explaining the fundamentals of seal design and material technology.

Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal is a leading distributor of fluid power seals. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal has been providing standard and custom-made fluid power seals for a wide range of applications and industries for a long time as an industrial global leader and has been providing fluid power seals for various applications including Aerospace and Military markets where quality is of utmost importance. A fluid power seal is a two piece design consisted of standard sized rubber square ring energizing a PTFE cap.

Fluid power seals are widely used in heavy duty hydraulic actuators. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seals deliver top quality fluid power seals that are of excellent quality, stability, long lasting, low friction and give protection from extrusion. The applications that use fluid power seals include agriculture hydraulics, mobile hydraulics, machine tools and hydraulic presses. Darcoid is a global leader for diversified products of motion and control technologies and systems. The company provides precision engineered solutions for a wide range of commercial, mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

When choosing a sealing system, the desired result is ultimately leakage control. Seal design and material improvements have made it possible not only to have seal combinations that provide zero leakage, but also provide extended life in a variety of applications. Aside from the seals themselves, a thorough understanding of system parameters is necessary to obtain the best results. Optimal sealing is best achieved by taking a system's approach to the seal package rather than considering components individually.

Fluid power seals from Darcoid Nor-Cal Seals have been designed specifically to compliment 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. The seal element plays a vital role in the hydraulic system. It can prevent the fluid leakage and also can stop the outside air or dust entering into the system. The hydraulic seal elements are the core of the hydraulic equipment. For a hydraulic device to perform better, a good hydraulic seal is necessary, which is the guarantee of the excellent hydraulic device.

Therefore, this device has been widely applied in a lot of sectors, such as industry, agriculture and nation defense. In order to ensure the good performance of the hydraulic transmission device, the hydraulic seal must be compatible with the features of the device. The leakage rate of the hydraulic seal must be very small. With the increase of the hydraulic liquid's pressure, the seal intensity can be improved automatically.

Even though the seal is used in the harsh environment, the leakage rate can not be increased obviously. The seal is often soaked in the fluid and so it easily becomes hard. In order to ensure the long-term sustainability of the seal, the hydraulic seal should be compatible with the liquid. The hydraulic seal must be characterized by features, such as heat, pressure and abrasion resistance and also good elasticity.
