GFS General Service Packing is designed and manufactured to work across a wide range of dynamic rotary and reciprocating sealing environments. Materials below contain a variety of patented fiber-infused PTFE yarns with graphite, other impregnated fillers.
These materials offer greater strength with fewer braid unraveling problems, and long life in abrasive situations. Surface lubricant allows for easier run-in, and a reduction in shaft and sleeve wear lowers operational costs. Most importantly versatile, multi-use packing means lower inventory stocking costs.
This blog will discuss 6 different types of general service compression packing in order to assist you with proper selection for your application.

Rod Seals are the most important seal within any hydraulic sealing system. Rod Seals prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid to the outside. Additionally, Rod Seals help contribute, in combination with a Wiper Seal, to preventing contamination of the environment. GFS Rod Seal profiles are available as single acting (pressure from one side) or double acting (pressure from both sides).
This blog article will discuss the different profile, their recommended applications, and operating parameters.
