Why Is Seal Retention Important and Finding the Right PIP Seal
We receive many requests regarding seal retention but why is it so important? There are 3 main reasons: ease of component assembly, serviceability, and transit issues. Parker offers an array of Press-in-Place (PIP) Seals to accommodate these application challenges. Additionally, each particular profile provides performance properties to address issues like larger tolerance stock, low seal load, and complex groove paths to name just a few.
Ideal Surface Finish Recommendations For Optimum Sealing Performance
When designing a gland in which an O-ring or elastomeric seal is the desired sealing component, there are several aspects that need to be considered. A perfectly designed seal with the right material, ideal compression, gland fill and stretch can have inadequate sealing capability if the surface finish of the hardware is neglected. This blog discusses the ideal surface finish requirements for both the application and testing of seals.
