Cap Seals: Ener-Cap® II & Ener-Cap® II HP

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Greene, Tweed Ener-Cap® II is a self-actuating, pressure-activated hydraulic seal designed for aerospace applications. It optimizes cap seal performance in standard aerospace seal glands and is available in various configurations for both rod and piston applications.
Specifications: The Ener-Cap II features a PTFE-type sealing element and an advanced elastomeric energizer for optimal radial squeeze and load distribution. It operates effectively at temperatures ranging from -80°F to 450°F (-62°C to 232°C) and pressures up to 4,000 psi (276 bar), with the Ener-Cap II HP variant capable of handling pressures above 8,000 psi (550 bar).
Features & Benefits: Key features include low breakout and running friction, extended service life, and compatibility with MIL-G-5514/AS4716 standards. The design includes anti-extrusion rings for higher pressure capabilities and circumferential cap grooves to enhance lubrication and reduce leakage.
Applications: The Ener-Cap II is suitable for primary and secondary flight controls, linear utility actuators, accumulators/reservoirs, and landing gear actuation systems.
Configurations: Available configurations include zero back-up, one back-up, and two back-up width glands. Custom configurations can be tailored to specific requirements.
Options: The Ener-Cap II can be equipped with notches for blow-by protection and circumferential grooves for improved dynamic sealing. The Ener-Cap II HP series combines low-friction properties with high shear strength back-up capabilities.
Part Numbering System: The part numbering system uses material designator tables for customization. Standard and nonstandard options are available, with specific configurations for rod and piston applications.
Materials: The document lists various elastomer compounds and cap materials, including NBR, FVMQ, FKM, EPM, and EPDM, with Avalon materials providing exceptional performance.

Cap Seals: Ener-Cap® II & Ener-Cap® II HP-1

High-performance Bidirectional Seal SELF-ACTUATING, PRESSURE-ACTIVATED The Greene, Tweed Ener-Cap® II isa self-actuating, pressure-activated hydraulic seal that optimizes cap seal performance within standard Aerospace seal glands. The Ener-Cap II HP includes one or two anti-extrusion rings to give higher pressure capabilities by preventing extrusion of the PTFE sealing element. The cap seal design results in low breakout and running friction and minimal leakage over an extended service life, making this seal design ideal for dynamic The PTFE-type sealing element and advanced-design elastomeric energizer provide optimum radial squeeze and evenly distributed radial loading. This design gives a high degree of seal stability and extended service life. Our Avalon® materials offer exceptional performance. A custom-molded energizer ensures correct squeeze levels are maintained. The addition of circumferential cap grooves will improve the lubrication and reduce outboard leakage. Operating temperatures can range from -80°F to 450°F (-62°C to 232°C) with pressures to 4,000 psi (276 bar), dependent upon the selected materials and hardware clearances. The Ener-Cap II HP extends the working pressures significantly and operates success- Double-Acting Piston

Cap Seals: Ener-Cap® II & Ener-Cap® II HP-3

Both piston and rod type 52 series Ener-Caps can be supplied with notches for blow by protection, in accordance with SAE AIR 1243. Greene, Tweed has designed the 5279 series of Ener-Cap II HP to combine the long-life, low-friction properties of the Ener-Cap II with the high shear strength back-up capabilities of a back-up ring. This allows the seal to be used at pressures in excess of 4000 psi (276 bar). The Ener-Cap II HP is available for rod and piston applications in standard one back-up and two back-up glands only. Contact GT engineering for specific part numbers. Circumferential Grooves...
