K8D
Heavy-Duty No-Drift Bi-Directional Hydraulic Piston Seal
The design includes an integrated rubber quad ring seal in the outer filled-PTFE cap to ensure positive sealing and drift-free operation in heavy-duty service application for large diameter piston sealing applications. Designed to separate and seal two different media, e.g. fluid/gas. Commonly used in piston accumulators, mobile hydraulics and where low-friction, high-pressure drift-free sealing performance is required. Retro fits seals of similar design.

Important Note: Maximum values above depend on extrusion gap, clearances, seal material, media, temperatures, pressures, surface speed, dynamic running surface finish and working environment. Seals cannot be operated at their upper ratings at the same time. Pressure ratings can be increased by reducing clearances. For pressure above specified operating pressure or for any advice, please contact engineering@ahpseals.com |
