Premium Tandem-Sealing Long-Life Low-Friction Hydraulic Rod Seal

Tandem seal design allows the seal to provide a superior sealing performance over its entire pressure range. The additional activated secondary seal pumps back lubricant that passed the primary seal lip, reducing friction and minimizing seepage. The additional lip also minimizes seal damage in contaminated environments.

Additional standard materials available: High-performance polyurethanes, NBR (Nitrile), FKM, Viton®, HNBR, EPDM, Aflas®, Hytrel®, Silicone, low- and high-temperature, FDA-compliant seal material grades, PTFE, filled PTFE®, engineered thermoplastics and proprietary specialized Duralast™, Duraloy™, and Permachem™ materials.
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; however, we offer any other seal size as required. Seals are available for any rod diameter and groove width in 0.001 inch increments, including functional range and optional groove width.
