HiPerSeal®, aka Spring Energized Seal and Teflon Spring Seal, is a U-shaped machined performance polymer that utilizes a single spring energizer to provide force for the sealing lips. The seal jacket is made from PTFE compounds using high-performance polymer fillers to enhance overall spring seal life and wear resistance properties. The system pressure ultimately increases the sealing force and creates a leak tight seal. Because the spring loaded seal utilizes a spring, slight misalignment is tolerated, and the sealing force and jacket wear is more consistent. Spring energizers are available in corrosion resistant metal alloys such as stainless steel, Elgiloy and Hastelloy to meet the most serious corrosive and high temperature applications. We offer a wide variety of springs energizers including Canted Coil springs, Helical springs and Cantilever springs. For more information, you may refer to the tab "Spring" under "Products".
The standard spring seal product line is precisely machined to fit AS 568A glands in radial rod and piston grooves and axial face seal configurations. They are suitable for static, rotary, and reciprocating applications which can operate under the most extreme and harsh conditions. They can operate from static and low speeds to speeds of 20 m/s (4000 fpm); pressures from vacuum to 700 kg/cm² (10,000 psi); and temperatures from cryogenic to 300°C (575°F). The spring loaded seal series offers all these capabilities while being able to function in the most chemically aggressive applications. These seals are an extremely effective solution for hydraulic components where low friction and high lateral loads, are combined with corrosive and/or steam environments; all while providing the most consistent friction performance.
HiPerSeal® can of course be customized to meet your specific needs upon request.
