Gallagher engineers worked with the customer to develop a custom-molded FFKM compensation bladder. Gallagher collaborated with our FFKM supplier-partner to develop a low-temp 60 duro compound that satisfied the needs of the customer’s temperature, enviromental, and flexibility requirements.
Gallagher’s team performed friction calculations to develop a low friction spring energized seal that demonstrated low break-away characteristics.
The success of this spring energized seal led to increased seal life and higher production throughput via reducing friction.
GFS designed a custom sealing solution that would mold the seal directly onto the metal component part, eliminating manual labor.
The custom-molded rubber part was able to increase production output by eliminating the maunal installation stage in the production line.
This case study looks at three typical problems we see in the fluid power industry – side loading, contaminants and increased temperatures.
This case study includes: Hydraulic Cylinder - Side loading, Pneumatic Valve - Contaminants, and Rotary Actuators - Increased Temperatures.
