Spring-energized seals provide reliable, high-performance sealing solutions for fluid power equipment, such as hydraulic and pneumatic systems. These seals feature a spring between the sealing lips to maintain constant contact with sealing surfaces, ensuring a tight seal under various pressure conditions.

Available in multiple materials and profiles, spring-energized seals can be customized to meet varying application needs, including high temperatures, extreme pressure, and low-friction requirements.

Features & Benefits

  • Sealing Reliability

    Effective even in low-pressure or vacuum environments.

  • Pressure Resistance

    Withstands pressures up to 10,000 psi.

  • Wide Temperature Range

    Suitable for temperatures from -450°F to 600°F (-268°C to 316°C).

  • Varied Profile Features

    Improves sealability, reduces friction, and scrapes surface contamination.

  • Multiple Material Options

    Available in virgin PTFE, filled PTFE, Hytrel® Elastomer, and UHMW polyethylene.

  • Multiple Filler Options

    Includes low friction, low wear, broad temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, and antimicrobial properties.

Design Specifics

Spring-energized seals consist of a sealing element, typically made of PTFE, which is energized by a spring. This spring helps the seal maintain consistent pressure against the sealing surfaces, compensating for wear and temperature fluctuations. These seals can be tailored for specific applications, whether in static or dynamic environments.

How Spring-Energized Seals Work

Spring-energized seals provide constant sealing force, even in the absence of pressure, thanks to the energizing spring. This feature allows them to maintain a reliable seal in extreme environments with high temperatures, high pressure, or vacuum conditions.
