Piston Seals · PEL

Operating Conditions
Pressure | Up to 60 MPa |
Speed | Up to 15 m/s for PTFE materials with linear movements, frequency up to 5 Hz |
Temperature | -45 °C to +200 °C. Depending on seal and O-Ring material |
Media | Mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids, flame retardant hydraulic fluids, environmentally friendly hydraulic fluids (bio-oils), phosphate ester, water and others, depending on the seal and O-Ring material compatibility see Materials for PEL |
Clearance | The maximum permissible radial clearance Smax is shown in Installation Dimensions, as a function of the operating pressure and functional diameter. |
Important Note : The above data are maximum values and cannot be used at the same time, e.g. the maximum operating speed depends on material type, pressure, temperature and gap value. Temperature range also depends on media.
Recommended Materials
The following material combinations have proven effective for hydraulic applications:
PEL in PS8WM
All round material for light to heavy hydraulic applications with linear, short stroke or helical movements in mineral oils, flame retardant hydraulic fluids, phosphate ester, bio-oils or fluids having less satisfactory lubricating properties:
O-Ring | NBR 70 Shore A | N |
FKM 70 Shore A | V | |
Set Code | PS8WMN or PS8WMV |
PEL in PS61B
For medium to heavy applications with linear movements in mineral oils and other media with good lubrication:
O-Ring | NBR 70 Shore A | N |
FKM 70 Shore A | V | |
Set Code | PS61BN or PS61BV |
For specific applications, all PTFE materials are available.
Other material combinations are listed in Materials for PEL.
