Hydraulic seals are typically made from elastomers, natural and synthetic polymers that have weak molecular attraction and high elastic properties. The two primary sources of hydraulic seals are rubber and plastics (including PTFE, such as Teflon and polyurethane). Other elastomeric materials used to make seals include butadiene, nitrile, butyl and silicone resins. Seals can also be made from non-elastomeric materials, such as felt and leather. Some specific types of hydraulic seals, such as bonded seals, are made from metallic materials including brass, bronze, aluminum, carbon steel and stainless steel. The bond between the rubber material of the bonded seal and the metal is created by chemical bonding. Main types Hydraulic seals are most commonly found in hydraulic cylinders, mechanical actuators that convert hydraulic pressure (from oil, water or other pressurized fluids) into unidirectional force for use in agricultural and forestry vehicles, construction equipment and similar mec

Spring seals and  O-rings  are very different products, but they ultimately accomplish the same goal of a sealing system. In short, the unassuming O-ring is a rubber ring. A spring seal consists of an engineered plastic sheath and a metal spring element. While both are seals, they have limited commonalities in design, intent and function. Each application used successfully can be very different. We will discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of seal.  KDIK oil seal O-Rings One of the main advantages of O-rings is also one of the most obvious: cost and availability. There are many applications, especially in high-volume consumer products, that may benefit greatly from the advantages of spring seals. While seal performance and wear life may be poor, O-rings may be the best choice when considering price alone.  Affordability is not the only advantage of O-rings. When operating within the recommended parameters of the material, O-rings often provide a better seal tha
