Hydraulic cylinder seal pu seals- rod seal
The rod seal is the most critical seal on any type of fluid power equipment preventing leakage of fluid from within the cylinder to the outside.The rod seal has to meet the most demanding requirements and in addition to normal wear and aging, a rod seal is directly affected by changes on the rod surface such as temperature extremes. Leakage through the rod seal can reduce equipment performance, and also in extreme cases can cause environmental issues and therefore it is vitally important to choose the correct rod seal type and design to suit a particular application.
