1. Product Advantages
Superior Sealing Performance: Adopts an asymmetric double-lip design to eliminate leaks effectively, with the primary lip ensuring tight contact with the piston rod and the secondary lip blocking contaminants—reducing equipment failure risks by 30% compared to standard seals.
Durable Material: Made of high-grade polyurethane (PU) with excellent wear resistance and flexibility, enabling easy installation and maintaining stability in extreme temperatures (-45℃~+110℃) and high pressure (up to 400bar).
Wide Compatibility: Fits most European, North American, and Asian standard cylinder sizes, eliminating the need for custom modifications and cutting down procurement time.
Long Service Life: The precision-molded structure minimizes friction (working speed ≤1m/s), extending the seal’s lifespan to 2,000+ operating hours in typical industrial scenarios.
2. Working Principle
The R2 Piston Rod Seal operates via its dual-lip mechanism: When the cylinder is activated, the primary lip deforms slightly under pressure to form a tight seal against the rod, preventing hydraulic/pneumatic fluid leakage. The secondary lip acts as a barrier, blocking dust, debris, and moisture from entering the cylinder—protecting internal components and maintaining fluid cleanliness. The polyurethane material’s elasticity ensures consistent contact even with minor rod vibrations, ensuring stable performance.
3. Product Details
Structure: Asymmetric double-lip (primary + secondary lip) with a smooth, burr-free surface for reduced friction.
Dimensions: Covers standard sizes (e.g., rod diameters 10mm~200mm) with precise tolerances (±0.05mm) for perfect fit.
Material Grade: Premium Hythane®-equivalent PU, tested for resistance to mineral oil, hydraulic fluids, and mild chemicals.
Installation: Flexible design allows manual installation without special tools; compatible with standard seal grooves.

5. FAQ
Q1: What fluids is the R2 Seal compatible with?
A1: It works with mineral oil, petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, and dry pneumatic air. Avoid strong solvents (e.g., acetone) or acidic fluids.
Q2: Can it be used in low-temperature environments?
A2: Yes—its PU material maintains flexibility at -45℃, suitable for cold regions (e.g., northern construction sites).
Q3: How often should the seal be replaced?
A3: Under normal use (8-hour daily operation), replacement is recommended every 12~18 months; earlier if leaks or unusual noise occur.
