The u-cup seal is a widely used sealing element in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, recognized for its simple geometry and effective sealing capability under pressure. Its U-shaped profile enables a balanced combination of elasticity and pressure-activated sealing, making it suitable for both dynamic and static applications.
Design Overview
· U-Shaped Cross Section: Designed to deform under pressure, enhancing contact against sealing surfaces
· Directional Versatility: Available in rod or piston configurations depending on system requirements
· Compact Structure: Allows installation in small gland spaces without sacrificing performance
Material Options
· Polyurethane (PU): Known for wear resistance and good sealing under moderate pressure
· FKM: Offered for higher temperature or chemically demanding environments
Application Fields
· Hydraulic cylinders (mobile and industrial)
· Pneumatic actuators
· Injection molding equipment
· Lifting and handling systems
