Understanding Hydraulic Shaft Seals
Conclusion
1. Seals The primary function of seals is to prevent hydraulic fluid from leaking out of the cylinder. The most common types are O-rings, lip seals, and piston seals. Each type serves different purposes and is made from materials suited for varying pressure and temperature conditions.
5. Dust Seals These seals protect the inner components of hydraulic cylinders from dirt and debris, crucial for maintaining the functionality and longevity of the cylinder.
- Size and Fit The seals must be accurately sized to fit the specific hydraulic cylinder. Using the wrong size can lead to improper sealing and potential failure.
