1. Product Advantages
Superior Durability: Crafted from high-grade polyurethane (PU), the seal resists wear, abrasion, and hydraulic fluid corrosion, ensuring a longer service life than standard seals—reducing frequent replacement costs for users.
Broad Environmental Adaptability: Operates stably in temperatures ranging from -35℃ to 110℃ and handles pressures up to 35MPa (40MPa for customized versions), adapting to harsh industrial conditions without performance loss.
Reliable Leak Prevention: The U-shaped dual-lip design creates a double sealing barrier, while compatibility with backup rings (PTFE or polyamide) prevents extrusion under high pressure, eliminating internal/external leaks.
Low Maintenance: Minimal friction between the seal and piston rod reduces hydraulic system wear, lowering maintenance frequency and downtime for equipment.
2. Working Principle
The IDI-type seal is installed in the piston rod groove of hydraulic cylinders. When the cylinder operates, hydraulic pressure pushes the seal’s inner and outer lips tightly against the rod and cylinder bore, forming an initial sealing interface. The U-shaped structure distributes pressure evenly across the lips, avoiding local stress concentration. Backup rings support the seal to prevent deformation or extrusion under high pressure. As the piston rod reciprocates, the PU material’s elasticity maintains consistent contact with the rod, ensuring continuous leakage prevention and stable hydraulic flow.
