In many instances, hardware parts specified by design engineers are considered “commodity” or “generic” items, non-proprietary items that are more or less the same, regardless of the supplier. This ...

Consider seal force, temperature, and fluid resistance requirements early in the design process for more-reliably sealed parts. • Engineers should include seals in their design process instead of ...

Shaft seals are used on rotating, reciprocating, and oscillating shafts to contain oil and grease and exclude contaminants. Known as oil or radial lip seals, shaft seals can also contain pressure or ...

In demanding industrial environments, the performance of seals directly impacts equipment reliability, efficiency, and operating costs. Traditional pure Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) holds a ...
