New Product: Pneumatic cylinder seals
Pneumatic c ylinders are typically lubricated only during assembly, so the lube must last for the cylinder’s entire life.
Two new seals have
flexible sealing lips and
provide an enlarged radius
in the contact zone
of the cylinder tube to
maintain grease lubrication
over prolonged
periods. Overflow channels
on the face and back of the lips ensure instantaneous
activation upon pressurization and loading.
Model APDF for standard piston and APDG for shortlength
pistons cover the range of commonly available
sizes of pneumatic cylinders. A new material, Zurcon
Z30, was developed specifically for the seals. The 83
Shore A polyurethane reportedly has extraordinary
elastic properties and exceptional wear resistance.
