Emili Sunyé is an Applications Engineer at EPIDOR and has more than 15 years of experience as a sealing expert. Specialized in failure analysis in industrial applications, he brings his technical knowledge to optimize the performance and reliability of the systems.
The Laboratory of Oleohydraulic and Pneumatic Systems (LABSON) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) and EPIDOR Seals and Rubber Technology (ESRT) have collaborated in the development of a test bench to test different sealing solutions for hydraulics.
Our company is a leading distributor and manufacturer of mechanical products and industrial services, specialized in high quality mechanical engineering components, especially sealing and vibration isolation. General view of the bench
The bench allows comparative testing and...
There are currently four manufacturing processes for O-rings, each with its advantages and limitations.
The primary O-ring manufacturing method is molding. It is followed by: O-ring thread extrusion and vulcanization.
Machining of seals from dollas. Continuous molding technology for O-rings
A few years ago a fourth manufacturing process was developed, the most unknown, the continuous molding, which allows to manufacture O-rings without limitation in its maximum diameter. The seal is molded section by section until its entire diameter is...
PS SEALS the new Gylon lip in the food and pharmaceutical industry. These industries use applications that place high demands on sealing materials, especially in relation to sealing lips to enable shaft sealing on rotating machines. Abrasive media such as sugar or dust are major challenges, for which there is currently no durable solution. Not only must the media be reliably sealed during production and cleaning cycles, but the seal lip material must also be able to seal the shaft seals....
The scrapers serve to protect the interior of the hydraulic system, preventing the entry of contaminants into its cylinders. The cylinders that make up the hydraulic group need to operate in optimal conditions. The entry of contaminants, either in greater or lesser volume, can have a great impact on the performance of the cylinders, and can cause the inoperability of part of the system, which would mean a costly repair.
In today's article we will focus on the most critical hydraulic systems, either because of the pressure to which it is subjected, the conditions of...
