1. Product Advantages
- Extreme Environmental Adaptability: Operates stably at -200°C to 260°C, with minimal dimensional change under temperature fluctuations. Resists most acids, alkalis, and solvents, ensuring long-term performance in corrosive conditions.
- Low-Friction Durability: Features inherent self-lubrication and a low friction coefficient, reducing wear on mating parts and extending equipment lifespan by 30%+ compared to standard seals.
- Reliable Sealing: Engineered with optimized spring energization, it maintains consistent preload even under high pressure (up to 50MPa), preventing leakage in dynamic or static applications.
2. Working Principle
The seal combines a 100% virgin PTFE matrix with an embedded metal spring. When installed, the spring provides constant preload to press the PTFE lip against the sealing surface. During operation, the spring compensates for wear, thermal expansion, or pressure changes, ensuring continuous, tight contact—eliminating leakage in rotating, reciprocating, or oscillating motion systems.
