T-Seal High-Pressure Bi-Directional Rod Seal

Highpressure compact rod seal design. The design utilizes two positively actuated live anti-extrusion back-up rings to support very high pressure from both sides. Available in Viton®, Nitrile, H-Nbr, Aflas® and other materials. Designed to retrofit standard O-ring grooves designed for no back-up, single or two back-up rings. 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, please contact engineering@ahpseals.com
