DYNAMIC RECIPROCATING APPLICATIONS
PTFE FlexiSeal®
The FlexiSeal is a spring-energized U-cup utilizing a variety of jacket profiles, spring types and materials in Rod & Piston, Face and Rotary seal configurations. FlexiSeals are used where elastomeric seals fail to meet the temperature range, chemical resistance or friction requirements. Jacket profiles are made from PTFE and other high performance polymers. Spring types are available in corrosion-resistant metal alloys, including stainless steel, Elgiloy® and Hastelloy®. Standard FlexiSeals are precision machined to fit inch/fractional and MIL-G-5514 glands. Standard and custom sizes in multiple geometries are available from 1/8" to 72" diameters.
FlexiSeal Rod and Piston Seals
The Parker FlexiSeal was not specifically designed for just one industry or application. The chemical and physical properties of its compounds make it a powerful problem solver in many situations. The seals always seem to gravitate toward certain difficult applications which include:
• Harsh chemicals and solvents
• High temperatures up to 600 °F
• Cryogenic temperatures down to -450 °F
• Unlubricated applications
• Where low friction is required
• High pressures up to 10,000 psi
• High surface speeds when other seals overheat
• Where there’s no margin for tooling cost
• Where there are custom, “in-between” sizes
