PTFE Piston Seal and Rod Seal - Long lasting, Low friction
PTFE piston seal (PTFE rod seal) as Spring Energized Seal and Memory Packing are always the ideal choice for sealing static or dynamic pistons and rods.
ElringKlinger Engineered Plastics is manufacturer of PTFE seals and offers a broad range of standard PTFE piston seals and PTFE rod seals, supplemented by customer-specific special solutions.
In this area, the focus is on modified PTFE materials and compounds with specifically adapted properties.
Essential Advantages:
- Outstanding dry-running characteristics
- Low wear
- Low friction
- Variable friction conditions through choice of spring characteristics
- Extremely low breakaway forces even after prolonged downtimes
- No stick-slip effect even at low sliding speeds
- High dimensional stability
- High chemical and thermal stability
- No volumetric change by swelling or shrinkage
- Compact seal, suitable for O-ring assembly spaces in acc. with ARP 568 A, DIN 3771, and ISO 3601/1
- Good cost-benefit ratio
- Dimensions from Ø 2 to 3,000 mm available
- Very good wiping effect with abrasive media, such as paints and lacquers
- Sterilizable
- Easy to rinse
