‘T’ Seals
‘T’ Seals are a highly effective alternative to traditional O-rings, designed for use in high-pressure and high-dynamic applications. The ‘T’ shape of the seal allows it to resist twisting and extrusion, making it ideal for applications where conventional O-rings may fail. ‘T’ Seals are often used in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders to provide a reliable seal under extreme conditions.
Available Variations:
Standard ‘T’ Seals: Suitable for most hydraulic and pneumatic applications, offering superior extrusion resistance.
Custom Profiles: Available with variations in lip design and material to meet specific application requirements.
Back-up Rings: Can be used to further enhance extrusion resistance, particularly in high-pressure applications.
