Our spring energized seal

Dynamic applications that are required to function without lubrication put a greater emphasis on seal design and the materials being used.  Especially in the case of dry running rod seals which are subject to high temperature and high pressure conditions,  PTFE compounds combined with advanced fillers must be selected in order to achieve  efficient  performance and a long service life. Advanced polymer technology combined with many years of practical experience allow our team of engineers to  select the correct combination of material and seal geometry for the application in question. Often reciprocating but also in rotary installations,  maintaining a high level of seal efficiency by minimising wear allows our seal solutions to achieve outstanding  levels of performance and longevity. For sealing rotary and swiveling applications the choice is a URF rod seal with clamping flange.
