V-Spring Piston Seal

VS-K19


V-Spring Piston Seal

Non-symmetrical piston seal for use in dynamic sealing application. Chamfered seal lips provide for easy installation and better lubrication, resulting in extended seal and mating surface hardware life.

*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. For pressure above 3.000psi (210bar)or temperature above 200°F (95°C), please contact engineering for seal material and hardware specification.
Size Table (Inch)The standard range sizes listed below are the preferred sizes for new design applications. Seals are available for any bore size in 0.001inch increments, including functional range. Additionally, we offer any other seal size as required.
