Scrapers for extreme hydraulic systems

Written by Marketing Digital on 18/04/2018. Posted in Estanqueidad para hidráulica y neumática.

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...

Gylon® Epix, the new generation of restructured PTFE

Written by Marketing Digital on 21/03/2018. Posted in Estanqueidad estática.

As is well known, three fundamental factors are involved in a flanged joint: the sealing gasket material itself, the hardware and the flanges. If the tightening torque of the hardware is insufficient, even if the flange faces are in perfect condition and the material is PTFE, the process fluid will leak through the flanged joint. When the flanged joint is opened, the first thing to inspect will be the PTFE gasket, which will be in perfect condition if Gylon® restructured PTFE has been used. If the flange faces have the proper surface finish and...

Types of flat gaskets for valves

Written by Marketing Digital on 07/03/2018. Posted in Estanqueidad estática.

Our new article completes the series of solutions for valve sealing and joins those previously published in our blog “Some valve sealing solutions”, “Certified O-rings for valves“, “Elastomers resistant to aggressive fluids in valves” and “Recommended sealing materials for valve seats”. and "Elastomers resistant to aggressive fluids in valves" and "Recommended sealing materials for valve seats". In today's article we take a closer look at another aspect of valves, the options available for flat gaskets to be installed in split-body valves and between the stem and the handwheel. Flat gasket materials...

Material for highly stressed hydraulic cylinder guides

Written by Marketing Digital on 21/02/2018. Posted in Estanqueidad para hidráulica y neumática.

At Epidor Seals and Rubber Technology we are aware of the critical aspects of our products depending on the needs of each application. A few months ago we published “The best guides in hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders”. In today's article, we are going to focus on hydraulic cylinders and their guide elements, whether rod or piston. The guides found in hydraulic cylinders are usually subjected to much higher loads than the guides for pneumatic cylinders, they receive loads that produce compressive and shear stresses, being...
