Choosing the wrong seal can lead to air leaks and costly downtime.
A piston seal holds air pressure inside the cylinder; a rod seal prevents leaks along the rod. Both are critical but serve different purposes.

Here's how to select the right seal for your pneumatic application.

What’s the Main Difference Between a Piston Seal and a Rod Seal?

They operate in different areas of the cylinder.

Поршневі ущільнення are installed in the bore to manage chamber pressure.
Штокові ущільнення are placed at the cylinder head to stop air leakage along the moving rod.

They work together to maintain system efficiency. See the full breakdown in our pneumatic cylinder seal guide.

What Are the Key Functional Differences?

Consider adding ущільнювачі склоочисників for added protection in dirty environments.

When Should You Use a Piston Seal vs. a Rod Seal?

Use a piston seal for internal chamber sealing.
Use a rod seal to seal around the moving piston rod.

In most cylinders, you’ll use both. For comparison: Piston vs Rod Seal

How to Prevent Common Seal Failures?

• використання PTFE або TPU for high-speed or friction-prone systems
• Replace seals every 6–12 months
• використання буферні ущільнення to absorb pressure spikes

Висновок

Rod seals stop leaks along the rod; piston seals maintain pressure in the chamber. Use both for reliable pneumatic performance.
