Press in place / Diamond seal

Inherently self-retaining, press-in-place (PIP) seals are designed for molded or machined grooves in face sealing applications. A smaller footprint and narrow cross section result in high seal pressures, low closure forces, and narrow groove width requirements. Particularly effective when mating surfaces are less than perfect, PIP seals can be custom designed to fit both round and complex manifold shapes in the optimal size for your application.

Special Applications

Low closure force, narrow aspect ratio. Stays in place prior to gland closure producing significant assembly benefits. Manifolded designs enable significant BOM count reductions, poke-a-yoke benefits.

More Information

Profiles and sizes

No industry standards, these seal types are typically custom designed to the application to address the specific demands of the application. For example, narrow seal package dimensions, inversion during assembly process, reduction of total number of seal components, reduced closure force, etc. Single or multiple seal "footprint" contact points.
