- Dust Seals These seals act as the first line of defense against external contaminants. They are located outside the cylinder and help keep dirt and debris from entering the hydraulic system.

Design and Construction

Construction and Design

A rotary lip seal typically consists of two main parts the elastomeric sealing lip and the metal or plastic casing. The sealing lip is made from materials such as rubber, polyurethane, or silicone, chosen for their resistance to wear, temperature fluctuations, and chemical exposure. The metal casing provides structural support and is designed to fit snugly onto a rotating shaft.

The design of wiper seals is equally important, as it impacts their functionality. There are various designs, including single-lip, double-lip, and integrated scraper seals, each serving specific applications. Single-lip wipers are simple and effective for light-duty applications, while double-lip designs provide enhanced sealing capabilities, making them suitable for more demanding environments.

4. Lip Seals Lip seals are suitable for both dynamic and static sealing applications. They feature a lip that runs along the surface of the cylinder, creating a barrier against fluid leakage.
