Piston Seals · PGS

Operating Conditions
Pressure | Up to 30 MPa with mineral oil (depending on seal material) |
Speed | Up to 15 m/s with linear movements |
Temperature | -45 °C to +200 °C. Depending on seal and O-Ring material |
Media | Mineral oil and other fluids with very high lubricity depending on temperature, seal and O-Ring material compatibility |
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
