That\u2019s why selecting the right UN seal is critical for OEM cylinder performance.<\/p>\n<p>UN hydraulic seals are widely used in OEM-grade double-acting cylinders. These seals ensure smooth rod movement, prevent internal leakage, and withstand pressure up to 40MPa in mobile and industrial applications.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure which UN seal suits your system? Let\u2019s explore sizing, material, compatibility\u2014and more.<\/p>\n<h2>What is a UN hydraulic seal and how does it work?<\/h2>\n<p>A UN seal is a single-acting rod seal commonly used in standard hydraulic cylinders.<\/p>\n<p>It fits into a rectangular groove and creates a tight seal against the piston rod. Designed for medium to high-pressure systems, it\u2019s made from abrasion-resistant materials like NBR or FKM for longer life cycles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hengoseal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/UN-Hydraulic-Seals.jpg\" alt=\"placeholder_image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>UN seals are ideal for cylinders where space is limited and consistent bidirectional pressure control is needed. Their lip design offers high sealing performance with minimal friction.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using OEM equipment, our <a href=\"https:\/\/hengoseal.com\/id\/produk\/un-hydraulic-seal\/\" target=\"_blank\">UN hydraulic seals<\/a> are available in standard and custom sizes.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you choose the correct size for UN rod seals?<\/h2>\n<p>Choosing the correct size is key to preventing premature failure or pressure loss.<\/p>\n<p>To size a UN rod seal correctly, you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rod diameter (d)<\/li>\n<li>Groove width and depth<\/li>\n<li>Housing tolerance<\/li>\n<li>Working stroke length<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>UN seals typically follow ISO 5597 or AS4716 standards. Use precision calipers or refer to OEM drawings when measuring.
