PISTON SEALS

Product catalog summary
Overview
Piston seals are crucial for sealing the piston against the cylinder tube, ensuring pressure buildup in the piston chamber. The selection of sealing material and profile depends on the application and usage conditions.
Sealing Materials
  • NBR (Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber): Known for good mechanical properties and resistance to lubricating oils and greases, suitable for a wide range of hydraulic applications.
  • TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane): Offers mechanical strength and resistance to ozone and aging, but hydrolysis-resistant only up to 50°C.
  • PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): Provides excellent slide characteristics, wide temperature range usability, and nearly unlimited resistance to chemicals, ozone, and aging. Fillers like bronze, graphite, and coal can modify its properties.
Media Resistance
NBR, TPU, and PTFE are resistant to:
  • Hydraulic oils (DIN 51524 Part 1 - 3)
  • Lubricating oils and greases based on mineral oil
  • Fire-resistant hydraulic fluids: HFA, HFB, HFC (VDMA 24317)
Applications
Piston seals are versatile and can be used in various machinery and devices, including agricultural and construction machinery, truck-loading cranes, injection-molding machines, handling devices, industrial trucks, standard cylinders, presses, and switch valves.

PISTON SEALS-1

Piston Seals PISTON SEALS Piston seals have the function of sealing the piston against the cylinder tube to ensure a pressure buildup in the piston chamber. Here the sealing material and the profile of the piston seal must be selected on the basis of the application and the conditions of use. SEALING MATERIALS NBR (Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber) Due to their good mechanical properties and their resistance to lubricating oils and greases based on mineral oils, seals made of NBR are suited to a broad range of hydraulic applications. TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethane) TPU stands out for its mechanical strength and resistance to ozone and aging. TPU is only hydrolysis-resistant up to 50°C. PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) PTFE has very good slide characteristics and can be used in a wide range of temperatures. In addition, PTFE exhibits nearly unlimited resistance to chemicals, ozone and aging. Fillers such as bronze, graphite and coal influence the characteristics of the material in line with the requirements. MEDIA RESISTANCE Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are resistant to • Hydraulic oils in accordance with DIN 51524 Part 1 - 3 • Lubricating oils and greases based on mineral oil • Fire-resistant hydraulic fluids: HFA, HFB, HFC in accordance with VDMA 24317 APPLICATIONS Due to the wide range of piston-seal geometries, these products can be used in diverse ways, such as in • Agricultural machinery • Construction machinery • Truck-loading cranes • Injection-molding machines • Handling devices • Industrial trucks • Standard cylinders • Presses • Switch valves • and many more DIMENSIONS The currently available dimensions can be found on our website dichtomatik.fst.com or on our online ordering platform EASY.
