OverviewSpring-energized polymer seal 103A features a polymer jacket with an internal ribbon or helical spring energizer. Designed for static and low-speed sealing, it provides controlled leakage performance under high system pressures and at cryogenic temperatures.
Design & Function- Ribbon or helical (spring-energized) energizer retained inside a shaped polymer jacket
- Jacket geometry secures the energizer and forms the sealing contact surface
- Engineered for static face seals and applications with low relative motion
- Material options available to match chemical compatibility and temperature requirements
Typical applications- On/off valves in the energy sector, including custom seals for gate and ball valves
- Subsea ball and gate valves requiring reliable sealing at depth
- Aerospace anti-blowout seals for rocket engine check valves and main fuel valves
- Static face sealing in precision-fit gland and closed-groove assemblies
Installation & SupportSuitable for precision-fit gland configurations and closed-groove assemblies; designed to perform in demanding conditions including cryogenic temperatures and high-pressure environments. Engineering support available for material selection and custom sizing.
