Reciprocating Hydraulic  Seals

Hydraulic sealing applications range from the basic to the extreme.  GFS hydraulic seals are designed and manufactured to solve specific challenges encountered within hydraulic sealing environments.  The primary hydraulic seal product categories are offered below, with each section including different types of seal profiles.

Prevent Leakage, Withstand Extreme Pressures

Hydraulic Piston seals prevent fluid from crossing the area of the piston head.  Rod seals ensure that fluid does not leak from the cylinder and adequate pressure is maintained.  Wiper seals are installed to prevent contamination from entering the hydraulic system.  Guide, or Wear Bands, are installed in both the Rod and Piston hardware to stabilize the system while operating; thereby preventing metal on metal contact and absorbing side loading forces. Static O-rings are typically utilized in hydraulic sealing systems, and additional information can be found, and product purchased in the O-ring section.

Designing a hydraulic sealing environment that maximizes the performance of the equipment is a byproduct of the individual seal profiles and materials.  GFS offers a comprehensive offering of both across the categories below.  If you require the input or design assistance of a GFS engineer for your application, please contact GFS here.
