PISTON SEAL KT5

STANDARD SEAL DIMENSIONS

DESCRIPTION

The KT5 compact piston seal series type is designed with a central polyurethane element and two side anti-extrusion rings. The assembling between the polyurethane element with high elastic modulus and the two elastomer rings with high hardness enhances stability of the sealing even at heavy duty applications. Compared to rubber, the abrasion is also reduced due to the use of polyurethane, therefore extending the life of the seal. The friction (first operation and in working condition) is also considerably reduced, due to geometric shape of the seal, having better performance than NBR.

TECHNICAL DATA

Pressure: from 0 to 400 bar
Speed: < 0.8 m/s Temperature: from – 30° C to + 100 ° C with peaks up to + 110° C Fluids: mineral oils

MATERIAL

The materials used for the construction of this type of seal are:
– polyurethane for the central element, hardness 93 Shore A
– the backup rings in TPE elastomer 63 Shore D.

ASSEMBLING

This seal can be assembled both in closed groove on a mono-block piston and in open groove on a twopart piston. Avoid machining scores on the piston which May damage the sealing during the installation The use of grease in the piston is recommended for easier assembling.
