Seal kits are sets of sealing components used to prevent fluid leakage and contamination in hydraulic systems or other fluid power applications. They ensure proper functioning and longevity of equipment by maintaining pressure, reducing friction, and protecting against the ingress of dirt, dust, or other contaminants.
Seal kits typically include various types of seals, such as:
O-rings: Circular, rubber-like seals used to prevent leakage in static or dynamic applications by fitting into a groove and providing a sealing surface between two mating parts.
U-cup seals: U-shaped seals that are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders to prevent fluid leakage between the piston, rod, or cylinder bore.
Wiper seals: Installed at the external side of cylinders, wiper seals protect the system from external contaminants and prevent fluid leakage.
Piston seals: Designed to seal the gap between the piston and cylinder bore, piston seals prevent fluid from bypassing the piston and maintain pressure on the correct side of the piston.
Rod seals: Fitted around the rod in hydraulic cylinders, rod seals prevent fluid leakage from the cylinder and maintain the hydraulic pressure inside.
Seal kits may also include backup rings, wear rings, or gaskets, depending on the specific application requirements. When selecting a seal kit, it's essential to consider factors like the type of fluid used, operating temperature, pressure, and the material compatibility to ensure proper sealing and optimal performance of the equipment.
