- Equal length, tapered lip design
- Rotary & reciprocating service
- Low friction seal material
- Canted coil spring energized
- Piston & housing-mounted
The symmetrical lip PTFE seal consists of a U-shaped seal jacket with dynamic and static lips of equal size. It is energized with a canted coil spring made from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel. The spring helps accommodate for small changes in the seal lip caused by wear, temperature change, or tolerance variations in the assembly. It also ensures effective sealing at startup and low pressures. This radial seal enables bi-directional assembly. It performs well in both piston and housing-mounted applications, and in both rotary and reciprocating service.
