In some cases we find that the dynamic sealing of a hydraulic cylinder or other similar dynamic application is designed to mount O-rings or, at most, \u201cX-ring\u201d type seals.<\/p>\n
Sometimes these applications operate at pressures or speeds that are beyond the reasonable limit of this type of seal.<\/p>\n
The result is that these O-rings, which work as rod or piston seals, suffer premature wear that compromises their life and\/or effectiveness.<\/p>\n
What could be the solution? Due to the higher working speed or the higher pressure or both, it would be most appropriate to replace the O-ring with a low friction seal, but of course, the housing of a standardized low friction seal does not match the existing O-ring housing.<\/p>\n
