Spring Energized Reciprocating Seals
Why Spring-Energized PTFE Reciprocating Seals?
The Performance Sealing spring energized reciprocating seals replace conventional elastomeric O-rings and U-cups where the service conditions are beyond their operating capabilities. They can be designed, engineered, and machined to fit a variety of different applications to meet your needs. Additional benefits of using reciprocating seals include:
- Self-Lubricating and can be used in dry environments.
- Excellent chemical compatibility for a variety of different applications.
- The Spring Enhances Performance by:
- Allowing for tolerance variation
- Overcoming thermal expansion/contraction
- Compensating for wear to increase the useful life of the seal.
Temperature & Pressure Range
Our reciprocating seals operate in a wide range of temperatures and pressure conditions.
- Temperature Range from -450°F to 600°F (-268°C to 315°C)
- Pressure Conditions from High Vacuum to High Pressure (50,000 psi)*
