Overview
Parker Composite Sealing Systems Division (CSS), headquartered in San Diego, California, specializes in designing and manufacturing high-integrity composite seals and sealing systems for demanding applications across various industries, including aerospace, military, semiconductor, energy, oil and gas, life sciences, heavy-duty diesel, fluid power, and automotive markets.
Product OfferingsParker CSS offers engineered static sealing solutions, including metal and composite-retained elastomeric seals, resilient and crush
metal seals, and custom sealing systems. Their unique sealing geometry and extensive expertise ensure performance, reliability, longevity, and durability in challenging environments.
Value-Added Services
Parker provides development support through custom engineered system solutions, applications engineering expertise, finite element analysis (FEA), materials development, design validation testing, rapid prototyping, ultra-high purity processing, parts in assembly, packaging and kitting, and a worldwide distribution and service center network.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
FEA is utilized to predict seal reactions in extreme environments, allowing for accurate virtual simulations of seal performance. This reduces the need for costly prototype iterations and ensures the correct material selection for applications.
Quality Standards
All North American facilities are certified to ISO 9000 and AS 9100 standards, with additional accreditations like TS 16949, ISO 17025, ISO 14001, and NADCAP for special processing.
