Hydraulic cylinder seal kit Describe

Hydraulic cylinder seals are tools used to maintain pressure levels in hydraulic cylinders; they are crucial to the safety and efficiency of a functioning hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic cylinders produce linear motion by using pressurized fluid. They vary in design, size and material according to the pressure and temperature requirements, but most hydraulic seals used in cylinders are shaped similar to o-rings but with a more complex profile

Hydraulic cylinder seals are made of a wide variety of materials, usually elastomers, including rubber, some plastics, and sometimes metal like iron. There are a few different parts in a cylinder that require seals. The piston and rod both use them to prevent leaking hydraulic fluid, keep outside particles from entering the cylinder, provide lubrication and eliminate any metal-to-metal contact of different cylinder parts. These seals are found within the automotive, aerospace, defense contracting, oil and gas, chemical processing, industrial machinery manufacturing, plastic molding, construction, agricultural, forestry and wind power industries, among others. Since all hydraulic cylinders contain multiple seals, they are components in machinery and vehicles like plastic injection molding machines and presses, commercial and military aircraft, cars, bulldozers, excavators, backhoes and turbines. Hydraulic cylinder seals must have low friction, resistance to water, oil and chemicals and be able to withstand extremely high pressures.
The hydraulic cylinder itself is usually composed of aluminum, steel, iron or bronze. It uses water or oil as the pressurized hydraulic fluid that produces energy. They power machinery that has very high force or multiple moving parts that operate simultaneously. Seals are located in the piston, on the cylinder head and on the rod. The piston seal prevents pressurized hydraulic fluid from flowing across the piston. It is usually made of an elastomeric material. The seal located on the cylinder head prevents pressurized oil from leaking past the interface between the rod and the head, while the rod seal prevents leaking of hydraulic fluid to the outside and provides a degree of lubrication. Hydraulic cylinders also use wear rings, a type of seal that prevents any metal-to-metal contact, as well as rod wipers, which prevent contaminants from entering the cylinder when the extended rod reacts back into the cylinder. Each seal is equally as important to maintain an efficient and safely operating hydraulic cylinder. Without seals, they would completely fail, causing the machinery to become unusable. While they last for long periods of time, regular maintenance checks to ensure the seals have not worn or aged will prevent seal failure.

Features

Standard seal: Unless otherwise specified on your unit, you most likely need to purchase a standard seal kit. Standard seals are usually made of nitrile and are intended to be used in air and mineral-based hydraulic oils.
Loaded lip seal: Loaded lip seal configurations are ideal for low-pressure applications in a variety of industries including construction, automation and manufacturing. While loaded lip seal designs are generally extremely durable, they occasionally need to be replaced.
Fluorocarbon seals: Combining high-temperature resistance with superior chemical resistance, Fluorocarbon seals are ideal for high-pressure applications. Because these seals are often utilized regularly, they tend to break down over time. Yates Cylinders sells seals in a variety of sizes and price points.
Cast iron piston rings: These rings are used in a variety of high-speed and high-temperature applications including automation and construction. Cast iron piston rings are highly durable and are often used for heave shock applications because of their strength. Keep in mind these rings do not create the complete seal that urethane or rubber seals do. However, they can withstand much higher shocks and are wider and deeper than the standard ring configuration.
Low-friction seals: Operators of systems powered by fluid frequently need friction-optimized seals for hydraulic cylinders. Having too much friction wastes energy and can cause the seal to fail prematurely. However, having too little friction can cause leaks. Our low-friction seals are specially calibrated to create the right amount of friction for a variety of applications.
