Heavy-Duty Bi-Directional Piston Seal with Live Back-Up Rings

Squeeze-type piston seal for use on vertical or no-drift piston. Positive actuated live back-up rings to eliminate seal extrusion in high-pressure applications or larger extrusion gaps.  Rubber energizer allows for an easier fit on one-piece pistons.

*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, please contact engineering@ahpseals.com
