Polymer Seals Catalog Polymer Seals Polymer Seals Catalog Polymer Seals Wiper The function of a wiper is to effectively clean and to dislodge foreign matter from a reciprocating rod/ram to prevent contaminants from entering the system. Rod Seal The function of a rod seal is to act as a pressure barrier and prevent fluid bypass along the dynamic (rod/ram) surface and the static (stuffing box bore) surface under various operating conditions. It regulates the fluid film during extension of the cylinder rod. Buffer Seal The buffer seal reduces the impact of pressure spikes on the secondary rod seal...

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Seals – Wiper Seals Polymer Seals Catalog Protect the System from Entering Contaminants Chesterton positive rake wipers are designed to effectively clean and dislodge foreign matter from retracting rods or rams thus preventing scoring and system contamination. The sharp, rugged, flared profile provides protection against abrasive particles which can contaminate the system and lead to premature equipment failure. These wipers provide excellent performance on rods or rams in hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Single- and double-acting wiper designs are available thus...
