Seals, Filters & Gaskets

Custom seal design can incorporate elastomers.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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