V-Spring Piston Seal

VS-K19


Spring-Loaded PTFE Piston Seal

Designed for very low friction, extreme temperature service (cryogenic to high temperature), or chemically aggressive environments. Spring provides constant load to the beveled seal lip for best sealing performance under harsh conditions. A variety of different seal lip and spring configurations are available to meet specific sealing requirements. Go to Spring-Energized PTFE Seals for detailed information.

*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. For pressure above 3.000psi (210bar)or temperature above 200°F (95°C), please contact engineering for seal material and hardware specification.
Size Table (Inch)The standard range sizes listed below are the preferred sizes for new design applications. Seals are available for any bore size in 0.001inch increments, including functional range. Additionally, we offer any other seal size as required.
