OverviewThis spring-energized polymer seal uses a cantilever (V-spring) energizer and a PTFE jacket with flanged ends. It is designed for dynamic sealing tasks and delivers controlled friction and leakage performance at moderate pressures and temperatures, suitable for reciprocating and rotary/oscillating motion.
Key features- Cantilever (V-spring) energizer for dynamic sealing
- PTFE jacket with end flanges for enhanced seating and retention
- Corrosion-resistant V-shaped spring energizer
- Stable friction and leakage control at moderate pressures/temperatures
- Compatible with reciprocating (linear) and rotary/oscillating motion
Typical applications & demonstrated uses- Dynamic shaft and face sealing: rod, piston and face seals
- Energy sector: large-diameter face and static seals
- FPSO turret swivels and rotating interfaces
- Aviation: landing gearbox actuator shafts, auxiliary power units
- Cryogenic sealing examples: launch vehicle fuel tanks and related components
Customization & options- Custom assemblies available with additional precision components to meet application requirements
- Silicone-filled spring cavity option for food processing and clean-in-place (CIP) environments
- Possible PFAS-Free* manufacturing depending on specification and application
Installation & resourcesInstallation guidance and an instructional video are available for small-diameter spring-energized seals. Product and technical handbooks cover seal design, selection and installation best practices.
