Stem seal

Rod seal is an important part of hydraulic cylinder and they are used in many different machines and equipment. They help prevent the leakage of oil or other liquids and protect the moving parts of the device.

Stem seals are often made of various rubber materials or PTFE, i.e. Teflon. For example nitrile rubber is a commonly used material in stem seals because it is highly resistant to mechanical stress and high temperatures. PTFE is a particularly good material for stem seals, as it is flexible and can form a very tight seal. The non-friction of PTFE also ensures that the rod seal does not travel too much between the moving parts of the cylinder, helping to keep the hydraulic system efficient and performing.

There are a few points to consider when choosing stem seals. First, it is important to choose the right size gasket. A seal that is too small may not be suitable for the purpose, as it can cause leaks, while a seal that is too large can be difficult to install and cause extra pressure on the moving parts of the device. Second, it is important to choose a seal that is compatible with the equipment and oil being used. For example, seals made of nitrile rubber are very resistant to oil and are well suited to machines used in industry. Finally, it is good to choose a seal that is made of quality materials and meets the necessary standards and regulations.

In summary, stem seals are very important parts in many different machines and devices. When choosing them, it is important to consider choosing the right size, compatibility with the device and oil, and high-quality materials. Taking these things into account helps to ensure that the rod seals work flawlessly and contribute to the long life of the cylinder.
