Extruded and Spliced Seals for Cost Effective Sealing Solutions

Parker’s precision extruded and spliced seals offer an ideal, cost effective sealing solution for many applications.

Parker's spliced products include hollow low-closure force seals, large diameter rings that cannot be molded, “picture-frame” gaskets, and custom configurations for non-standard grooves. Rings are available in a wide range of sizes with capabilities for very tight tolerances.

Customers can choose from a large variety of profile cross-sections and different material technologies. Parker’s superior vulcanization technology offers high bond strength, uncompromised chemical resistance and consistent flexibility.

Product Features of Extruded and Spliced Seals

  • Superior hot vulcanization capability (high bond integrity)
  • Interference-fit cross section designs for ease of assembly in seal grooves without adhesives or mechanical retainers
  • Economical option for static face or radial face seal over 2.500” ID
  • Engineered profiles for non-standard grooves
  • No tooling required for standard OD/ID combinations
  • High performance materials
  • Wide range of closure force options
  • Better compression set resistance than foam or sponge gaskets (hollow cross sections)

Profile Cross-Sections

Parker’s splicing capabilities cover a wide range of standard and custom profiles, including several profile examples shown to the right. Should your application require a custom profile, consult the Gallagher Fluid Seals Engineering Department to explore the many possibilities in creating a custom profile to fit your company’s needs.
