How do seal geometries affect performance?

February 4, 2025 By Mary Gannon Leave a Comment

This image from Hercules Sealing Products showcases different hydraulic seal geometries, including O-rings, T-seals, U-cups (lip seals), rod wipers, quad rings, and crown seals.

Selecting the right seal geometry is crucial for optimizing performance and preventing leaks in demanding environments.

By Josh Cosford, Contributing Editor Let’s start by stating the obvious: seal geometries matter, or the fluid power realm would use only geometrically simple O-rings. The other two critical factors for effective seal performance are polymer composition and a machined groove to call home. However, even considering the latter, a seal geometry of … [Read more...] about How do seal geometries affect performance?
