The trend of miniaturization has been growing for many years. Not only electronic, but also mechanical components are becoming more light-weight and smaller. The dependable sealing of micro systems poses major challenges in both the design and manufacture of the sealing components.
Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has recognized the positive trend of the future towards miniaturization and has risen to the challenges of this technology. The micro simmerring offers reliable sealing for shaft seals smaller than 3mm.
Freudenberg micro simmerring provides an optimal solution for sophisticated, customer-specific miniature applications such as micro pumps, micro drives and micro actuators. The micro simmerring has also proven its worth in a wide variety of micro systems in medical technology, in laboratory and diagnostic applications and in the general industry.
GORE® Universal Pipe Gasket (Style 800) provides a reliable seal for steel, glass-lined steel and fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) flanges, in the full spectrum of strong acid, alkali, and solvent process media, including the most challenging thermal cycling and elevated temperature applications.
This single gasket solution can reduce the process safety and production downtime risks caused by the use of an incorrect gasket material. Highly conformable 100% ePTFE reliably seals irregular surfaces.
What Makes the GORE Universal Pipe Gasket Unique?
Gallagher Fluid Seals is proud to present its latest video, on the subject of environmentally designed static seal gaskets.
In the clip below, Brian Gallagher, our key accounts manager, discusses the value of using these gaskets and explains how Gallagher can help customers understand the benefits of using them.
Watch the clip above to learn more about environmentally designed static seal gaskets, and feel free to contact Gallagher Fluid Seals if you have any questions. We'll be happy to hear from you.
At Gallagher Fluid Seals, engineering is central to every project and solution we deliver. Our goal is to provide sealing solutions where there had been sealing failures, and our engineering team is among the most experienced and talented in the industry.
This blog post is the final installment of a four-part series discussing how we work with our customers to create a sealing solution for their most critical applications. So far, we’ve talked about Application Discovery & Review, Commercial Evaluation & Development, and Prototyping & Testing. The fourth step in this process is Approval & Production.

Are you designing an enclosure to help keep your critical components or internal fluid free from environmental exposure? The good news is that one of Gallagher’s most trusted partners, Parker Engineered Materials Group, has experience designing seals for use in environmental enclosures and has the material technology necessary to provide the most robust seal to meet your enclosure requirements.
This particular blog will provide an overview of the most important aspects of a good environmental seal, including the importance of good seal design, the certifications that provide confidence in the seal’s capability, and the available seal profiles useful for many different application constraints.
Spring energized PTFE seals perform reliably in a variety of applications where conventional elastomeric seals fail due to chemical attack, extreme heat or cold, friction, extrusion or compression set.
PTFE seals have three basic design elements:
So what is a spring energized PTFE seal? It’s a spring-energized U-cup that uses a variety of jacket profiles, spring types and materials in rod and piston, face and rotary seal configurations. They are used when elastomeric seals fail to meet temperature range, chemical resistance or friction requirements.
Jacket profiles are made from PTFE and other high performance polymers. Spring types are available in corrosion-resistant alloys, including stainless steel, Elgiloy and Hastelloy.
