The function of Rod Seals
Rod Seals play a vital role in preventing hydraulic fluid leakage in cylinders. These seals ensure that the rod maintains hydraulic pressure within the cylinder, preventing fluid from escaping between the rod and cylinder head, and thus guaranteeing efficient operation.
A typical rod sealing system is composed of guide rings or tapes, rod seals, and wipers, all arranged consecutively to ensure optimal sealing performance. Rod seals, made from materials such as PU, HPU, BFT, and NBR, are essential for preventing hydraulic fluid leakage in cylinders.
