Premium High-Pressure Bi-Directional Compact Rod Seal
Designed with an energizing element for easier fitment and responsiveness to changing pressures. integrated positive actuated live back-up rings to eliminate seal extrusion in high–pressure systems with shock load or where increased clearance gaps are present. This is an excellent seal where positive sealing from both directions is required. Robust design for the most arduous conditions.

*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
