Hydraulic seals improve cylinder performance

SKF has launched a new range of hydraulic seals, which it claims enables hydraulic cylinder producers to improve system performance.

The series includes the S1S polyurethane U-cup for heavy duty rod sealing systems, and three new styles of polyurethane piston seals. SKF has also developed a new grade of SKF ECOPUR polyurethane material in conjunction with the new product designs. The material has been improved for seal function in heavy duty applications with high system pressure and temperature.
