What Factors Affect The Performance Of Hydraulic Seals?

Jul 26, 2021

The correct selection of hydraulic seals is an important step to ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic system, so everyone must master the appropriate selection conditions of hydraulic seals. Changzhou Tu Shi briefly described below that the performance of hydraulic seals is affected by many factors.

Hydraulic seals

1. The change of hydraulic cylinder pressure and pressure cycle has a great influence on the damage of hydraulic seal (such as extrusion). The higher the pressure, the greater the influence of factors such as temperature, speed, sealing material, piston and cylinder gap, piston and cylinder head gap, on the performance of hydraulic sealing.

2. Temperature or it is difficult to describe the maximum and minimum use temperature of the sealing material, because it is the result of a series of factors. Since the working temperature of the piston and the piston rod are different, different working temperatures should be selected.

The friction between the hydraulic seal and the sealing surface depends on many factors: surface roughness, surface characteristics, pressure, medium, temperature, sealing material, sealing type and speed of movement.

4. Surface treatment

Experience has shown that the surface characteristics of the cylinder piston rod have a great influence on the service life of hydraulic seals. The surface characteristics are defined by the surface roughness Ra value, which is the arithmetic mean of the absolute value of the deviation of the surface shape from the center line. However, some numerical values do not fully reflect the influence of surface conditions on the seal, because even under the same roughness, different surface shape features will cause different degrees of seal wear.

After understanding the factors affecting the performance of hydraulic seals, do you know the importance of correct selection of hydraulic seals?
