Thermal and chemical resistance of Orings

Oring to its high strength, durability, low maintenance, ease of availability, good conducting properties, metal is used widely in almost every industrial sector. Metal is used in many forms like pipes, sections, wires, rods, sheets, etc. In many of the industries metal pipes or hollow sections are used to convey fluids (gases or liquids) from one place to another.

Just as the function of a sealant is to prevent leakage or to seal any openings there are materials whose purpose is to isolate thermal environments from each other on its two sides. Hot and cold Insulation materials are used to provide a layer of insulation which reduces or minimizes the heat flow. Besides good thermal resistance good hot and cold insulation materials have properties like being inert to a wide range of chemicals (high chemical resistance), physically stable or tough, etc. Depending on the need, a suitable hot and cold insulation material is used to provide thermal barrier.

Hollow seals 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 ORings 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 seals 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 seals consist of an elastomer inner ring and a seamless sheath which surrounds the elastomer ring. Similar to PTFE O-Rings encapsulated and hollow seals are used wherever the chemical resistance of normal elastomer O Rings are not sufficient.

Chemical compatibility to the media to be sealed against (including flushes and system cleanouts). There are many different fluids and gases to seal against, and many different choices of gasket materials to seal against them. The internal pressure of the fluid should be a determining factor in choosing a gasket sealing material. If severe cycling or pressures changes occur frequently, a more robust material may be required. Application of this includes all factors such as the number, grade and size of bolts to create compression and the surface areas of the sealed joint. For EMI gaskets, this includes the amount of EMI and RFI shielding required. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal's die cut gaskets and seals offer long term sustainability, excellent wear performance, complete material traceability and easy installation.

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.

With an enormous range of high purity plastic valves on the market, factories and plants throughout the industrial sector are easily able to find the right valve that meets the exact specifications of their intended use.

PTFE seals and valves are electrically actuated to either their open or closed position. The valve components work by allowing or restricting liquid flow depending on whether or not they are subject to an electrical current. The trigger device is normally an electromagnet coil which activates when fed an electric current, attracting a plunger or other valve stem component to changing the state of the mechanical device, this in turn allows or prevents liquid flow. When the electromagnet is deactivated, the plunger is returned to its original position typically by means of a return spring.

Customized quad rings

Quad rings like all other O-rings are used for sealing. These are excellent for preventing various kinds of fluids/liquids or gas loss. These O-rings has the potential to function both as a static as well as a dynamic seal. As a static seal, it is immovable and is used simply for containing pressure or maintaining a vacuum. On the other hand as a dynamic seal it has reciprocating capabilities. They are doughnut shaped and are generally molded from an elastometer compounds like synthetic or natural rubber. Among its various application areas are mechanical setups where they prevent flow of air and fluid through sealing. They are usually fixed to cavities or: grooves to achieve all kinds of resolutions in sealing as high as 1000 PSI. In fact, these O-rings can endure temperatures ranging from -200 degrees Celsius to +250+ degrees Celsius.

The quad rings are the most preferred options for engineers across the world for all their sealing needs. This is because these are dependable, safe and long-lasting. Today, these are used in industry sectors ranging from automotive to fluid power to semiconductor processing. You can find quad rings in passenger cars, construction equipment, heavy duty trucks, refrigeration and air conditioning components, commercial and military aircraft, pharmaceuticals, oil and natural gas rigs, kitchen and bath fixtures, surgical instruments, fuel handling equipment and drug delivery devices. Apart from the standard sizes, quad rings also come in different customized varieties as per their inner diameter: its cross-section diameter: material composition and hardness. And the only factor that is responsible for this is the compression which determines the O-ring cross section diameter. It is to be mentioned here that the inner diameter of O-ring should be similar to the inner diameter of the groove, so that it can get stretch and stick to the groove.

With the huge demand for quad rings, Parker has also come up with a novel idea of developing customized O-rings of nearly infinite size range as per the requirements of individual clients. Most of the authorized distributors of the quality accessories have this option of taking orders from various consumers. However, it is completely the prerogative of the customer to determine whether such data and specifications are suitable and sufficient for a particular application.

Deflected wide range of seal geometries

A lip seal is a rotary seal incorporating a deflected lip seal geometry. Anti-rotational devices such as flanges and O-rings are often utilized to prevent the seal from rotating with the shaft. Standard and custom sizes are available with a wide selection of PTFE materials. Lip seals are suitable for sealing corrosive and abrasive media. A wide range of geometries and materials are available, depending on specific application requirements. Lip seals are often used on motors and compressors and other components with high speed rotary shafts due to their ability to resist wear even while pressurized.

The most common lip shape is the chamfered or back-beveled design and is available with the V and C Series spring types. This design allows for ease of installation and permits lubrication to nest under the lip and feed through in reciprocating dynamic applications. The result is a microscopic film of lubrication that increases seal and hardware service life. Since the footprint (contact point) of a chamfered lip is a single point, all of the sealing force is concentrated on that point, yielding the highest sustainability and lowest friction.

Applications often involve medias with abrasive particles that can get caught between the seal lip and the mating hardware. This increases wear to both the seal and the mating surface. To prevent particles from accumulating, the scraper lip design is available with all three spring types. The scraper lip contact point is positioned directly over the load point of the spring in each design for maximum scraping action. The scraper lip can be positioned on the ID, OD or both. The scraper lip also stays in place better in a stepped gland where the step is not very large.

The beaded shape contacts the surface in much the same way as an O-ring, and is available with the V and H Series spring types. Similar to the chamfered lip, it is easy to install and helps to lubricate the reciprocating sealing surface. In fact, the beaded lip yields a film of oil that is slightly thicker than that of a chamfered lip, making it advantageous for applications with rapid reciprocating motion. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal is an excellent supplier of lip seals.

Oring to its unique features, it is widely used in a lot of industries, such as machine tool, boat, automobile, metallurgical machinery, chemical machinery, engineering machinery, building machinery, plastics, agriculture and different instruments.

Orientations and different types in hydraulic seals

            

                    There are plenty of tools and equipments that are required to carry out industrial and manufacturing processes. The hydraulic seals are one such useful tool that can be used for a number of different purposes. There are, in fact, different hydraulic actions, and each of these actions requires the usage of specially designed tools. These seals are designed to assist in transferring power from a hydraulic system to the linear motion by containing the oil for the pressure. If the oil is not controlled, the pressure within the system will pass, and this in turn, will result in the failure of the entire system. In addition to that, these seals can also keep away the dirt from the system, by means of which the entire hydraulic action remains efficient.

Hydraulic seals are products that include types such as rod seals, flange packing and U-cups. They are specifically designed for applications that require high pressure such as those of hydraulic cylinders. It is said to have a wide array of orientations and different types. Before going further into the orientation and types of hydraulic seals, here are some things to consider when purchasing such industrial products. The diameters of the outer shaft, inner seal and housing bore should be specified. Thickness and radial cross section should also be included in the list of considerations. Service limits such as operating speed and pressure, vacuum rating and temperature should be dealt with accordingly. There are various sealing directions for hydraulic seals.

The first on the list is called a rod seal. A rod seal is a type of radial seal that is fit specifically into the housing bore. The sealing lip is found in contact with the shaft. The second type is known as the Piston seal. This is yet another type of radial seal and is a variation of the rod seal. Instead of the sealing lip found in contact with the shaft, the lip goes in contact with the housing bore. It is in the shaft where the seal is pressed accordingly. The other types of sealing orientations are symmetric and axial seals. A symmetric seal, as the concept implies, work symmetrical or equal to the rod and piston seals. The axial seal on the other hand, goes in contact or in axis with the housing component.

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.

Composite pneumatics seals

Pneumatic seals are a device that restricts the escape of air or the entrance of foreign materials in a pneumatic application such as a cylinder. Pneumatic Seals are designed for low operating pressure. Pneumatic Seals are vital in machinery. Pneumatic Seals may be used for rotary and reciprocating motion. Pneumatic cylinders typically demand higher operating speeds and lower friction pneumatic seals. 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 can either be single or double acting. Single acting pneumatic seals are used for one axial direction only. Double acting pneumatic seals are used in both directions for a reciprocating motion. 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. Piston seals, rod seals, flange packings, u-cups, and vee-cups are a few sealing designs that take advantage of pneumatic seals. 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. Pneumatic seals can be made of a variety of materials like Polyurethane, Nitrile, Viton, Silicone, EPDM and some types of PTFE. A pneumatic seal's sealing orientation can be internal as with a rod seal, external as with a piston, symmetrical, or axial. With internal pneumatic seals, a housing bore surrounds the seal and the sealing lip touches the shaft. This seal requires very little lubricant. With external piston pneumatic seals, the seal surrounds a shaft and the sealing lip touches the housing bore. This system requires more lubrication. Symmetric pneumatic seals are the same on both sides, and axial pneumatic seals fit axially against the housing. In both cases, however, the seals are used externally and require more lubrication.

Sometimes, composite seals are used as pneumatic seals. Composite seals are seals composed of two or three different materials. Therefore, pneumatic seals are often found in products requiring one seal for many parts. A PTFE ring and an elastomer ring are often used in this situation. NASA uses this technology in their rocket systems. Composite pneumatic seals are also used in the diesel engines for trucks. Rotary applications need only one pneumatic seal. This seal is considered to be single acting because it can seal in one axial direction while the application is moving. On the other hand, a reciprocating application requires two pneumatic seals, or double acting seals. In this case, one seal is needed for each of the directions. Double acting pneumatic seals are more complicated than single acting ones.
