HYDRAULIC SEALS AND PNEUMATIC SEALS ARE DESIGNED AS PER THE CYLINDER WORKING PRESSURE, CYLINDER SPEED, OPERATING TEMPERATURE, WORKING MEDIUM AND APPLICATION.
READ MOREHYDRAULIC FLUIDMost hydraulic fluids are oils, with a huge number of different types available. Different hydraulic systems, pumps and valves will require a different viscosity of fluid. Sometimes, in applications where any flammable liquid poses a risk, the hydraulic fluid may be water based.MOUNTI
READ MORENo. 1 - Improper installation is a major cause of hydraulic seal failure. The important things to watch during seal installation are: (a) cleanliness, (b) protecting the seal from nicks and cuts, and (c) proper lubrication. Other problem areas are over tightening of the seal gland where there is an
READ MOREIn System Seals’ Research and Development facility, engineers create proprietary and custom blended materials that outperform most stock materials. These specialty compounds are designed to be substantially more compatible with certain fluids, pressures, temperatures and a host other operating condi
READ MOREHydraulic cylinders are an essential component of the hydraulic industry. Almost all the applications use a hydraulic cylinder for converting incompressible hydraulic fluid energy to work. So, having adequate knowledge of this topic will be a great benefit. This article provides you, all the essenti
READ MOREEvery seal manufactured at AFT Fluorotec is designed and made specifically to suit the application.Whilst we work around typical designs and groove dimensions for much of what we do, it is not a full picture of all we do. Many of the seals we design and supply are specials – the difficult applicatio
