Rod Seals
Maintain the Function and Integrity of Hydraulic Systems
Rod seals play a pivotal role in ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of hydraulic and pneumatic systems in vehicles. They prevent fluid leaks, protect internal components, enhance system performance, and contribute to the overall safety and sustainability of the automotive industry. The benefits of high-quality rod seals include fluid containment—ensuring reliable system operation and preventing fluid loss—as well as component longevity, reduced maintenance, safety, and energy efficiency. Discover the benefits of rod seals for your automotive hydraulic system application.
Rod Seal Materials
Offering Unmatched Durability and Resistance
The performance of your rod seals depends on the choice of materials. Different materials offer specific advantages based on factors such as fluid compatibility, temperature range, pressure, and application requirements. Common material choices for rod seals include polyurethane, nitrile rubber, FKM/Viton, PTFE, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, polyacrylate rubber, and EPDM. These materials offer fluid compatibility, temperature resistance, wear resistance, resistance to damage caused by aggressive substances and hydraulic fluids, low friction, and more.
