U-Cups (U-Packing or U-Ring) are the most compact and versatile of the many lip type seals available. In its several configurations, it may be utilized as an ID - Rod Seal, or an OD - Piston Seal. U-cups with long thin lips may exhibit very low dynamic friction and can accommodate out-of-round or eccentric components. Shorter, heavy, lips provide a more reliable seal at low pressures and are better suited for sealing at high pressures.
Asymmetrical lips for modifying load transfer and dynamic performance. Heel bumps for in groove stability. Shaped heel for integrated anti extrusion devices
