    Profile

    PTFE gives these seals a slippery surface that allows rod speeds more than two times faster than our other piston seals.
    Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.

    Profile

    Avoid common O-ring failure in dynamic applications—the square base of these seals prevents twisting, while backup rings protect against extrusion.
    Note: Maximum performance values cannot be achieved simultaneously; for example, speed is affected by pressure, temperature, and other operating conditions.
