Description
Parker PK502HLL01 Cylinder Seals
Here is an introduction to Parker hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder seals
The main seals used in Parker hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders include:
1. O-rings:
– There are piston O-rings and cylinder barrel O-rings.
– Materials used include nylon and rubber for their wear resistance.
– They are used to prevent fluid leakage and keep the fluid contained between the piston and cylinder.
2. U-cups (spring energizers):
– Used in conjunction with O-rings to keep them firmly against the piston or cylinder barrel surface to form a seal.
– Made from durable stainless steel.
3. Wiper seals (O-rings):
– Located between the piston rod and seal end cap to prevent oil leakage.
– Made from wear-resistant rubber materials.
4. Backup rings:
– Located between the piston and piston rod to provide cushioning and sealing functions.
– Made from nylon or rubber for wear resistance.
5. Other auxiliary seals.
Applications: Suitable for various hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Proper material selection based on working conditions to ensure long-term reliable operation. Regular replacement of worn seals can extend service life.
In summary, these are the main types of seals used in Parker hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders and their functions. Using high-quality seals effectively prevents fluid leakage and ensures normal cylinder body operation. Proper maintenance of seals is important for optimal performance.
