O-ring Energized Cap Seals BI-DIRECTIONAL SEALING Greene, Tweed’s Glidetec™ O-ring energized cap seal offers simplicity and low cost. Suitable for use in spool valves or where AS or MIL spec grooves are not required, the Glidetec seal consists of a low cost energizer and a heavy section cap. The Glidetec seal offers bidirectional sealing, low friction and easy installation in compact single-piece glands. Glidetec Piston • Avalon® cap reduces dynamic and breakout friction versus single O-ring seals • Use of industry standard O-rings means special designs are unnecessary, keeping costs low • Installs easily in compact single-piece glands decreasing costs associated with maintenance FEATURES & BENEFITS • Heavy section cap creates more stability in the gland • Cost-effective design for valve applications GLIDETEC OPTIONS Notches APPLICATIONS • Control modules in utility actuators • Linear actuators in landing gear systems Glidetec seals can be supplied with notches to optimize pressure response, in accordance with SAE AIR 1243. The piston designs typically have notched caps since they are bidirectional; rod types are typically unnotched. • Valves in engine systems Notches The Glidetec seal combines a cap typically made from our Avalon (PTFE) material with an industry standard elastomeric energizer. Greene, Tweed can also easily design O-rings and caps to fit custom nonstandard gland sizes.
