Case Study: Upgrading Rod Seals to AU30000 Polyurethane

PROBLEM
The customer’s current polyurethane rod seals experienced a loss of performance after only a few months of high-load testing.

SOLUTION

Gallagher switched to a spring energized seal and recommended a material change to UHMW-PE.

RESULTS
The change in compound to Freudenberg’s AU30000 allowed the system to maintain performance, while increasing the life of the seal.
