When it comes to high-pressure hydraulic systems, the right buffer seal can drastically reduce system downtime and improve longevity. But choosing between UHS and USH seals can be tricky.<\/p>\n

UHS and USH seals are both high-performance buffer seals, but they serve different needs in hydraulic systems. Let's break down the key differences and help you choose the right one for your application.<\/p>\n

Keep reading to understand which seal suits your hydraulic system\u2019s pressure, stroke, and operational demands in 2025.<\/p>\n

What is a UHS hydraulic seal?<\/h2>\n

The UHS seal is a highly durable, high-pressure buffer seal used in hydraulic cylinders for mobile machinery, industrial presses, and more. It\u2019s designed to withstand extreme pressure and prevent excessive wear from high-impact forces.<\/p>\n

UHS seals are typically used in demanding applications where the seal must handle extreme pressures and act as a buffer to absorb shock loads.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re working in construction, heavy-duty equipment, or steel manufacturing, our KDAS compact seal<\/a> may also be used in tandem with UHS seals to enhance performance.<\/p>\n

What is a USH hydraulic seal?<\/h2>\n

The USH seal is another high-performance buffer seal but with a focus on low extrusion resistance<\/strong> kaj greater wear resistance<\/strong>. It is used for longer stroke lengths and heavy-duty applications where high pressures are constantly fluctuating.<\/p>\n

USH seals are designed for even more extreme environments than UHS, making them ideal for long-lasting sealing in large industrial machinery, mining, or hydraulic presses.<\/p>\n
