What Are Hydraulic Seals and How Do They Work?
Hydraulic seals are essential components that prevent fluid leakage and maintain system pressure in hydraulic machinery. They’re commonly used in cylinders, pistons, and rods to keep oil in and contaminants out.
A reliable seal ensures longer service life, safety, and lower maintenance costs. Choosing the right seal type—rod, piston, wiper, or buffer—depends on your application’s pressure, temperature, and movement needs.

Which Hydraulic Seal Material Performs Best Under Pressure?
Choosing the right material is critical for high-pressure and high-temperature hydraulic sealing. Whether you need resistance to chemicals, extreme heat, or long-term wear, different materials like FKM, TPU, NBR, and PTFE offer unique advantages.
Learn how to select the most reliable seal material based on your cylinder design, media type, and application pressure.
