OverviewThe U-cup N7 is a one-piece, single-acting U-cup sealing element made from polyurethane (TPU). As an active seal, its sealing lips increase contact force as system pressure rises, providing reliable sealing in hydraulic circuits.
Design & ApplicationThe N7 features a robust geometry with a secondary sealing lip to reduce stick-slip. It is optimized for hydraulic applications and can be used as both primary and secondary sealing due to excellent abrasion resistance. TPU versions are suitable for working pressures up to 40 MPa.
Material & VariantsThe standard compound is TPU with a hardness of 93 Shore A. Other hardness grades and colors are available on request.
