Custom hydrogen lip seals
- The purpose of lip seals and V-rings is to exclude contaminants whilst retaining lubricants in the application.
- These types of seals and rings are often used in a variety of slow and fast moving cylinders and applications.
- Through our engineering consultancy approach we apply our knowledge and understanding of elastomer materials and behaviours, and combine it with the right geometry, this results in lip seals that demonstrate a reduction in contact pressure, which reduces friction and wear.
- Specialist surface treatments, such as PTFE, can be applied to the sealing surface to achieve a further reduction in friction and wear.
- Novotema constantly works together with the technical and quality departments of their customers in order to deliver the most advanced and appropriate solution for their needs.
- They cooperate with their customers to develop brand new solutions that respond to the highest quality standards.
- They have a critical approach and applies a rigorous and scientific method throughout all the process, from co-design to mould construction until the testing and final delivery of the product.
- Thanks to their technical department and laboratory and thanks to their cooperation with universities and independent laboratories, Novotema helps in the planning and material selection of Lip seals and V-rings for your application.
- Novotema has access to a huge range of elastomer compounds which ensures that the finished product meets the application requirements.
- Novotema manufactures seals from 13 different types of rubber or elastomers and offers more than 300 different grades.
- The elastomers have been tested and accredited to industry standards .
