  • Rod seals

    • A rod seal in an inside seal and its design is crucial for the functioning of the entire assembly. Rod seals with elastomer leaders, lip seals, chevron sets and more. A number of profiles are offered on the market – we will assist you in making the perfect choice.

    Standard profiles

    The standard profiles shown below are seals that represent the state of the art. We manufacture these standard seals in-house or supply them as moulded parts from approved partners for all required groove dimensions in a variety of materials. Depending on the quantity, the material and your requirements, we will offer you seals in the appropriate manufacturing process – everything from one source!

    Profiles according to customer preferences

    If you have conditions which cannot be optimally solved with a standard profile, we can also manufacture an ideal sealing system according to customers’ drawings or develop one. In this field we are a development partner and are perfectly equipped to design the ideal product for you.

    Choosing the correct profile

    The more information is known, the better a sealing system can be adapted to a specific application. To choose the right profile and the ideal material, the following criteria are vital:

    • installation space
    • double or single-acting
    • pressure range
    • temperature range
    • medium
    • lifting speed
    • counter surface
    • installation option
    • friction behaviour
    • stick-slip behaviour
    • tightness
    • service life expectancy
    • price and availability
