High-Pressure Hydraulic Piston Seal

Non-symmetrical piston seal designed to eliminate seal extrusion in high-pressure systems. The integrated positive actuated live rectangular back-up ring eliminates extrusion, yet allows this seal to be fitted when fitment and assembly are more difficult.

*Important Note: Maximum values above depend on extrusion gap, clearances, seal material, media, temperatures, pressures, surface speed, dynamic running surface finish and working environment. Seals cannot be operated at their upper ratings at the same time. Pressure ratings can be increased by reducing clearances. For pressure above specified operating pressure, please contact engineering@ahpseals.com
Size Table (Inch)Standard range sizes listed below are preferred sizes for new design applications. Seals are available for any bore diameter, cross-section and groove width in 0.001 inch increments, including functional range diameter and optional groove width.
