Industries

Sealing systems used in aerospace technology applications are exposed to particularly challenging ambient influences such as extreme temperature fluctuations and aggressive pressure media. These cause sealing materials to age faster than those used in conventional applications. Consequently, these application conditions require sealing systems that meet the required range of performance at high levels of reliability.

Based on decades-long experience in the fields of materials development, product design and manufacturing technology, Parker Prädifa offers an extensive portfolio of high-performance sealing materials and sealing systems for aerospace technology.

The automotive industry makes particularly exacting demands on its suppliers. Constant pressures to innovate, for instance due to new legal requirements and changing customer wishes paired with the highest quality requirements and high cost pressures, result in a challenging field in which Parker Prädifa has been successfully operating for decades.

Numerous Parker products have proven their viability in practically all production vehicles around the globe in a great diversity of applications ranging from fuel tanks to sun roofs.

Parker offers customer-specific single-use assemblies and systems for biopharmaceutical lab-scale to commercial GMP-scale applications.

From design to the final sterile product, including assistance with regulatory questions and validation, Parker supports customers with a team of subject-matter experts. Our PureTain® single-use systems are manufactured in European and North American clean room production locations under an ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System. With this global manufacturing footprint, Parker is able to support its global customer base with a local supply chain. In addition to customized single-use systems and assemblies, Parker offers a wide range of pharmaceutical-grade silicone tubings and thermoplastic tubings (TPE) with short lead times.

Parker Prädifa is a leading manufacturer of sealing solutions for the chemical industry, the food and beverage industry, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Aggressive media, high and partially cyclical application temperatures, as well as high pressures and increasing hygienic standards, safety requirements and conformities/approvals make special demands on sealing elements. Drawing on decades of experience, we support our customers in selecting the material and designing the components to make sure that application-specific requirements are systematically reviewed and implemented.

Technical consumer goods or those featuring technical functions extend from consumer electronics to domestic appliances through to furniture, etc. In view of constantly growing demands for convenience, everyday items are frequently equipped with a whole host of technical components such as drive units, bearings, springs, closure systems and so on.

These components require sealing solutions ensuring reliable performance, ease of use and long service life. Parker Prädifa offers proven sealing and polymeric system solutions and is an expert development partner for new and innovative solutions.

Chip manufacturers are increasingly pushing processor performance limits for which traditionally used air systems can no longer provide adequate cooling. Consequently, the electronics industry is now pursuing liquid cooling for data centers. Parker offers high-quality sealing solutions such as EPDM O-rings, press-in-place seals, and overmolded gaskets. Designed to prevent leakage and improve dependability in critical environments, our sealing solutions deliver optimal performance and long life to maximize efficiency in the evolving data center technology landscape.

Hydraulics is generally described as energy, force and signal transmission by means of liquids. This type of drive technology is utilized in many industrial areas and characterized by high force density, very high transmittable forces and compact designs. Due to a wide variety of developments in recent years, limits of use, availability and service life have in some cases increased significantly. Aside from the pervasive utilization of electronic components in hydraulic drives, highly specialized sealing technology has a major share in this development.

Parker Prädifa offers a wide range of sealing systems for cylinders, valves, pumps and motors.

In engineering, pneumatics refers to the utilization of compressed air in drive systems for the purpose of performing work. Pneumatic drives are systems featuring sophisticated technology and are frequently used in assembly operations or automation.

Developments in recent years and, not least, the pursuit of substantial operating and maintenance cost reductions, especially for cylinders, have led to significantly higher demands regarding system availability and service life as well as the related robustness of sealing systems.

Highly specialized sealing technology resulting in major efficiency enhancements has been instrumental in developing increasingly economical systems.

Parker is supporting mobility of the future today with innovative solutions for sealing diverse energy storage and energy conversion systems in vehicles.

They include traction batteries or CNG/LNG, LPG and biogas tank systems as well as electric motors or fuel cells, the components of power electronics as well as thermal management, clutch and transmission systems in forward-thinking vehicles of all kinds: from “microvehicles” to heavy trucks.

Parker Prädifa offers a comprehensive portfolio of product solutions and services for drive technology, gearboxes, motors, machine tools and processing machines, automation, measurement and control technology and many other industries. The requirements for sealing solutions and engineered polymer components are as diverse as the range of applications.

Parker Prädifa not only offers a broad range of standard sealing solutions, but is also an expert devlopment partner for new and innovative solutions tailored to the respective requirements.

Higher comfort expectations, climatic changes, new technologies with a better environmental footprint, enhanced efficiency, and other factors have resulted in an increasingly wider variety of systems, devices and uses in the context of heating as well as of ventilation and air conditioning. 

The diversity of HVAC devices and technical systems is matched by the variety of the requirements to be met by the seals and sealing materials they use. For all of these needs, Parker Prädifa offers suitable sealing solutions and sealing materials, i.e., high-quality compounds based on proprietary formulations. 

Parker Prädifa supports the development, establishment, and operation of hydrogen infrastructure with innovative sealing solutions. For instance, in electrolyzers for hydrogen production, in tanks or filling plants for storage and transportation, in hydrogen fuell cell systems for the mobility sector or facility engineering, and in many other applications.

Wherever seals are used in the Oil and Gas sector they are critical to the safe, reliable and efficient operation of a wide range of onshore and offshore equipment in an equally wide range of conditions – in geographic and climatic regions of the world where extremes are the rule and not the exception.

Parker is a leading supplier of advanced sealing solutions to the global Oil and Gas industry, offering a wide range of sealing solutions, services and sealing materials meeting the requirements and specific standards of the industry.
