SEALING SOLUTIONS FOR THE HYDRAULICS INDUSTRY

Product catalog summary
Company Overview
The Freudenberg Group, established in 1849, is a leader in innovation and technology, focusing on sealing solutions. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) is its largest division, providing premium sealing technologies for industries such as automotive, civil aviation, and hydraulics. The Dichtomatik brand offers industry-standard solutions for moderate conditions.

Industry-Specific and Customized Service Concepts
FST operates a logistics hub in Hamburg, delivering over 60,000 standard and 15,000 custom seals rapidly. Advanced technologies like Kanban and vendor-managed inventory are used to enhance order processing and quality standards.

Hydraulic Components
Essential hydraulic components include piston seals, rod seals, wipers, and guide elements, crucial for sealing movements in machinery. Selection depends on parameters like pressure, speed, and temperature.

Sealing Functions
Hydraulic seals feature a profile preload for tightness at rest, maintaining a lubricating film for low-friction operation. Rod seals prevent hydraulic fluid leakage by sealing internally and externally.

Installation Spaces and Recommendations
Proper installation space design is vital for seal performance. Considerations include rounded corners, surface finishes, and dimensional tolerances. Regular maintenance ensures effective sealing.

Materials and Profiles
FST offers materials like NBR, PTFE, and TPU for seals, tailored to specific applications. Technical services customize seals for reliable performance in challenging conditions.
Specifications
The document details specifications for wiper designs AE, AD, AM, and ADM, including radius (R) for wiper heights (H) and tables for dimension G and radius R for AD60 and AD61 wipers. It discusses relief holes in double wipers and compatible installation spaces.

Installation Procedures
Instructions emphasize avoiding mechanical damage and ensuring medium compatibility. Assembly tools like sleeves and cones are recommended. Specific instructions for rod and piston seals include chamfers and calibration tools.

Material Standards
Materials like NBR, TPU, PTFE, and hard fabric are described, detailing properties such as temperature range, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. Advantages and limitations are highlighted, especially regarding fluid and environmental resistance.

Recommendations
Ensure accessible installation spaces, use appropriate tools, and check seals for damage before installation. Material selection should consider application requirements and environmental conditions.

Key Data from Tables
Tables provide data on dimensions, material properties, and installation requirements. For example, the radius for wiper designs AE40 and AE42 depends on height, while AE41, AE47, AD48, and AD51 have a fixed radius of 0.5 mm. Hardness, temperature range, and pressure limits for seal types are specified.

Critical Information
Key points include careful handling of PTFE materials due to low elasticity, using compatible lubricants, and specific installation requirements for seal types. Calibration and soft materials for assembly tools are emphasized to prevent damage.

HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS Sealing components for hydraulic applications are used to seal linear/reciprocating moving components. Sealing elements are selected according to the application at hand and its operating parameters, such as pressure, speed, hydraulic medium and operating temperature. STRUCTURE AND SEALING COMPONENTS OF A HYDRAULIC CYLINDER THE COMPONENTS USED IN HYDRAULICS INCLUDE • Piston seals • Piston rod seals/rod seals • Wipers • Guiding elements • O-Rings The requirements for the application are the decisive factor for selecting the seal profile and other seal components. Other factors...

DIMENSIONS Designations of our hydraulic seals Our nomenclature N = U-Cup K = Piston seal S = Rod seal A = Wiper F = Guide elements Types Within the assemblies listed above, we distinguish between the following types: Rod seals, piston seals, wipers and guide elements are always defined according to the installation space dimension. This means that the size specifications of the seal correspond to the sizes of the installation space and that the installation space and not the seal is always measured. We also provide the H dimension (measured width of the seal) for many of our piston and rod seals....

THE SEALING MECHANISM OF ROD SEALS – DYNAMIC SEALING MECHANISM The critical point of a hydraulic system is the rod seal. Leakage of hydraulic fluid from the cylinder would prevent trouble-free operation and lead to environmental damage, among other things. The sealing mechanism between the dynamic sealing lip and the rod is based on the hydrodynamic processes in the sealing gap. When the sealing system starts to move, the liquid film is drawn off by the sealing lip. The resulting drag flow and hydrodynamic pressure buildup create the dynamic sealing gap. What remains is a thin lubricating film,...

The following principles apply to the design of the installation space and should be strictly observed for trouble-free operation and a long service life of the seal: • rounded corners in the groove base (1) ensure correct seating of hydraulic seals • rounded groove flank transitions (2) reduce the risk of gap extrusion • the surface finish of the groove base (3) and the groove flanks (4) ensure a good sealing function • compliance with the tolerances for the groove width (5), the installation chamfer (6) and the correct dimensions of the sealing gap on the non-pressure side (7) • the surface...

Compact seal type K Piston The radius R for wiper designs AE40 and AE42 is selected as follows, depending on the height of the wiper: H [mm] < 12 16 18 For wiper types AE41, AE47, AD48 and AD51, the radius is always R = 0.5 regardless of the wiper height. Roof collar sets type KDS 01, SDS 01 The AD60 and AD61 wipers require an axially accessible installation space with small diameters. With larger diameters, a closed installation space can be provided. Subsequent calibration is recommended. Please refer to the following table for dimension G and radius R: When using double wipers, depending on...

SEALING SOLUTIONS FOR THE HYDRAULICS INDUSTRY-10

Even though the materials used for Dichtomatik brand hydraulic seals deliver excellent performance and are robust, special care is required during installation. Mechanical damage, especially to the sealing edge, can lead to leakage. In addition, each seal must be checked before installation for damage or aging that may have already occurred during transport or storage. Instructions for mounting: 1. In the case of single-acting seals, the seal must be installed with the preload side facing the pressure side 2. Insertion chamfers are absolutely necessary on the cylinder barrel and piston rod. The...

SEALING SOLUTIONS FOR THE HYDRAULICS INDUSTRY-11

Since PTFE has virtually no elastic properties, PTFE-pre-loaded sealing elements (SPOR30, SPOR31, KPOR30, KPOR31) must be installed with particular care and then be calibrated. Observe the following installation instructions: Installation of piston seals in an enclosed groove Insert the O-Ring into the groove without torsion: We recommend the procedure already described for PTFE seals. In this case, the PTFE ring is pushed over a conical assembly aid with an expansion sleeve until it snaps into the groove to expand the ring. The deformation of the expanded PTFE ring is accelerated with a calibration...
