Hydraulic applications are often strenuous and demanding in nature. The soft, non-metallic hydraulic seals are essential in carrying out these applications with ease and efficiency. These seals are available in 4 different types:
- Hydraulic Rod Seals
- Hydraulic Piston Seals
- Hydraulic Wiper Seals
- O-Ring Seals
Applications of various hydraulic seals:
- Rod seals are used for mobile hydraulics, injection molding machines standard cylinders, etc.
- Oil seals are essential in enhancing the longevity of equipment and in preventing the lubricant from leaking out. These seals are used in automotives, pumps, standard cylinders etc.
- Bonded seals are useful in applications that work under high-pressure
- O-ring seals are useful in equipment where there is either no moving motion between the mating surfaces (static seals) or where there is relative motion (dynamic seals)
Various industries that make use of hydraulic seals:
Specifically designed seals are required for different industrial applications. Some of the most common usages of hydraulic seals are seen in following industrial sectors:
- Oil and Gas: Hydraulic seals are essential in preventing leakage of gas in a cylinder. Linear motion of oil through a hydraulic cylinder is also depend on these seals for the generation of required pressure. If the flow of oil is not monitored, then the system will collapse because of the lack of pressure.
- Automobile: Hydraulic action required in automobiles is dependent on O-rings (hydraulic seals). Here the seals function as generators of energetic material for the hydraulic functioning of wipers.
- Mining: Typical hydraulic rod seals are extremely wear-resistant. Hence they can be used efficiently in mining and mineral extraction equipment. Latest innovations have led to the development of water-proof seals that are impervious to hydrolysis reaction that often occurs during mining.
- Waste Management and Recycling: Various waste management and recycling equipment work with hydraulic equipment. These equipment rely on durable hydraulic seals for effortless functioning in harsh and demanding environmental conditions
