Today we’ll continue our look at spring-energized seals by exploring some of the preliminary considerations to made when working with these seals.
A spring energized PTFE seal is selected to fit an exact set of service conditions found in your application.
Gallagher Fluid Seals recommends conducting a review of the entire sealing environment. You should use the Engineering Action Request (EAR) form before selecting a seal design.
Once again, Gallagher Fluid Seals is pleased to bring its readers another video. This time out, we're dealing with radial seal misalignment issues.
In this clip, Gallagher Engineering Manager Craig Beil discusses shaft run out and shaft eccentricity, two common radial seal misalignment issues.

Parker Diamond Seals are designed to be a compact, robust axial seal alternative to standard cross section seals. Their unique design allows for reduced compression forces, making them ideal for small, lightweight housings in aerospace and military applications.
Narrow cross section
With a tall and narrow diamond-like cross section, the diamond seal groove is 60% narrower than traditional grooves for comparable seal heights. The narrow cross section of the seal allows it to be used in tight corners and around small holes. The groove width savings allows housing to become thinner, reducing the weight assemblies and is less expensive to machine when compared to standard grooves.
