The water hammer is a hydraulic phenomenon that occurs in a pipe when a flow of fluid in motion within it is abruptly stopped by the sudden closure of a valve or a displacement pump. Or conversely, when a pipe closed and pressure is opened suddenly. It can create damaging pressure spikes, leading to blown…
DetailsOperating conditions and environmental requirements have led to a growing need for fluids non-oil.
The texture of a surface against which a seal rubs has a significant effect on friction, wear and seal life.
Usually the rod seals can be assembled without the aid of special equipment but
In this video we present the difference in behaviour of a semi-compact seal and a U-cup seal
Snap fit rod wiper for medium-heavy duty applications
Installation damage Damage to an O-ring during installation can occur when:
DetailsThe OP seal has been developed to be used as a valid alternative of the O-Ring for heavy duty applications to avoid
In the hydraulic sector, fluid contamination is one of the main causes of premature failure in hydraulic systems. The most sensitive components to the presence of solid particles in suspension are seals, which are essential for maintaining tightness and mechanical efficiency in hydraulic cylinders.
