Without a seal, there would be no way to contain one, two, three or four psi, let alone 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 to 10,000 psi or more that you tend to experience in fluid power applications—and that's regardless of air, water, hydraulics, etc. They're the unrewarded … [Read more...] about What are some applications for seals in fluid power?
