Seals, Filters & Gaskets

PEEK O-ring seals - Minnesota Rubber and Plastics

Custom seal design can incorporate elastomers.

Multi-face ePTFE gaskets - W.L. Gore & Assoc., Inc.

The chemically inert gaskets come in custom dimensions for aerospace applications.

Proper gasket design can simplify manufacturing and extend product life

Designers often leave gaskets as afterthoughts in designs, but gaskets must be thought out and well designed to get the most from them.

LKS High PV Seal from Bal Seal Engineering Withstands Oil, Water, Dirt, and Mud

LKS High PV seal from Bal Seal designed for oil and gas industry, but tough enough for almost any application

PTFE Seals Boost Performance, Resist Process Fluids and Temperatures
1

Seals for rotating components must do their job while resisting application temperatures, pressures, and fluid exposure. Thinking about seals early in the design process can prevent engineering headaches down the road.

Scanning for Ideas: Spring Keeps Seal Working Despite Wear and Tear

The key to the line of canted-coil Bal- Springs from Bal Seal Engineering Co. Inc. is the spring (or energizer) that surrounds the lip of the seal.

Flare-fitting seal withstands higher pressures

Flare fittings have been the connectors of choice for hydraulics systems for over 60 years.

All-in-one air filter, regulator, and lubricator

Manufacturers using compressed air need to "prep" the air before it is suitable for machine use.

O-ring goes trapezoidal

Traditionally shaped round O-rings are retained in half-dovetail grooves by the retaining lip, which pinches it in.

Gasketing done the right way

Material properties are key to getting gaskets that perform as expected.

Sorting out static seals

Square-section seals and O-rings both provide leaktight sealing.

Last-resort gaskets

Low-compression gaskets and pads protect and cushion sensitive components inside handheld electronics.

No-worry gadget makes replacing O-rings hassle-free

In the chemical-processing or microelectronic business, equipment takes a real beating.

High-Volume Gasketing Materials

Loctite Corp. has added four FastGasket materials to its line of high-volume, cured-in-place (CIP), silicone gaskets.
