High-Speed Steam-Resistant Packing Seals

Made of graphite-impregnated carbon, these steam-resistant seals dissipate heat from the shaft to protect pumps and valves when operating at high speeds. Cut them to size with a knife; then pack them into place.

High-Strength Expandable Wire Sleeving

With excellent torsional strength, this sleeving withstands the extreme twisting found in robotics. Made of carbon fiber, it has impact strength similar to steel yet is lighter than plastic and rubber. Resistant to corrosion and chemicals, it’s often used to protect brake lines and hydraulic lines. It’s expandable, so it stretches to fit over items for easy installation, then tightens around its contents for a secure fit. The braided construction permits heat and moisture to dissipate. Cut with scissors or a hot-blade knife.
