The Short Lip Seal is an extruded and cut sealing solution designed primarily for reciprocating applications. This seal, which can be produced in a variety of standard polymers, exhibits very low frictional force. Its unique geometry enables the sealing force to be proportional to the applied system pressure. Short Lip Seals are manufactured using a precision cutting process that eliminates the parting lines and flash extensions common to molded lip seals.
Typical Applications: Short Lip Seals are ideal for use in applications where pressure is being exerted in one direction. These seals can be formulated to resist oil, grease, and/or other media being sealed, and can also be used as an exclusion device in environments where dust or dirt is present. In systems characterized by low friction, large gaps, inconsistent alignment and/or wide variances in tolerance due to thermal expansion, the Short Lip Seal is an excellent solution.
The Solution: Short Lip Seals are manufactured in ranges from 2”- 8” (51mm-200mm) ID, using fluorocarbon, polyacrylate, ethylene acrylic and other polymers. These seals are processed from an extruded tube with no secondary operations and tolerances are closely controlled through the use of precision machining equipment. The machining process allows for exceptional design flexibility in both size and profile, and enables the Short Lip Seal to serve as a quickly designed retrofit or custom solution. As each application is unique, product verification and testing should take place in all applications.
