1. Product Overview
GHP seal, also known as A1 or DH04 wiper seal, is a frameless double-lip rod dust wiper specially designed for hydraulic cylinder rods. It is a non-pressure-bearing dust-proof component that only removes external contaminants instead of sealing hydraulic pressure. This seal effectively scrapes off dust, mud, sand and water on the piston rod surface, preventing foreign matter from entering the cylinder and protecting the internal main sealing system from premature wear and leakage.
With flexible integral elastomer structure, the GHP wiper seal features easy installation without pressing tools. It is widely used in construction machinery, agricultural equipment, mining machinery and other outdoor heavy-duty hydraulic systems, and can replace traditional ASW, WSW and other standard wiper seals.
2. Key Features
-
Dual-lip Design: Outer sharp lip thoroughly wipes off external dirt and sediment; inner auxiliary lip cleans residual oil film on the rod to reduce external oil traces and keep cylinder surface clean.
-
Frameless Integral Structure: No metal skeleton, high elasticity, good fit with open grooves, convenient assembly and no damage to the rod surface.
-
Pure Dust-proof Function: Single-direction wiper, not for hydraulic pressure sealing, must work with main rod seals.
-
Excellent Wear & Weather Resistance: Resists abrasion, low temperature aging and muddy working conditions, suitable for harsh outdoor working environments.
-
Wide Material Selection: PU, NBR and FKM optional to meet different temperature and medium requirements.
3. Structure & Installation Instruction
The GHP wiper seal adopts a step-type double-lip cross-section structure. The outer sharp scraping lip faces the outside of the hydraulic cylinder to block external dust and mud; the inner soft auxiliary lip fits closely with the piston rod to control residual oil film.
Installation Notes:
-
Must be installed in an open mounting groove; cannot be pressed into closed countersunk holes.
-
Scraping lip faces outward (toward the external environment).
-
Cannot be used alone. Equip with main rod seals (UN, UHS, IDI series) inside the cylinder for pressure sealing.
4. Application Scope
Widely applied to hydraulic cylinders of excavators, loaders, cranes, agricultural machinery, mining equipment and other mobile construction machinery. Ideal for dusty, humid, muddy and other harsh outdoor working conditions.
Material Selection Guide
-
PU (Standard): High wear resistance, most cost-effective, suitable for most conventional hydraulic working conditions.
-
NBR: Good low-temperature resistance, suitable for low-temperature and conventional oil medium environments.
-
FKM: Excellent high temperature and corrosion resistance, for high-temperature and special chemical medium working conditions.
Important Distinction & Avoid Mis-selection
The term "GHP" corresponds to multiple sealing products in the industry, please confirm the type before ordering:
-
This product: GHP rod wiper seal (A1/DH04) – Hydraulic cylinder dust seal, no pressure resistance.
-
Other homonymous products (not compatible): STEMCO GHP wheel end oil seal (rotary metal skeleton seal), GHP527 piston combination seal, GHP graphite flange gasket.
