ROD & PISTON
Spring-energized U-cup that uses a variety of jacket profiles, spring types and materials in rod and piston seal configurations.
They are used when elastomeric seals fail to meet temperature range, chemical resistance or friction requirements.
Essential Advantages:
- Outstanding dry-running characteristics
- Long lasting
- Low wear
- Low friction
- Variable friction conditions through choice of spring characteristics
- Extremely low breakaway forces even after prolonged downtime
Essential Advantages:

ROTARY
PTFE Rotary Shaft Seals (PTFE lip seals) are often used in applications where traditional elastomer solutions would be unable to deliver the required level of performance. Equipment which is required to operate with high pressures, high speeds or that requires a dry running rotary seal, can often only be accommodated by using products where the seal lips are manufactured from the latest filled PTFE polymer technology.
Our PTFE shaft seals are the perfect choice in applications where the operational parameters are too severe for elastomer solutions. High shaft speeds, oil free operation, high pressure, long life and low friction are some of the parameters which align perfectly with the performance characteristics of the PTFE seals

PACKING SETS
Packing sets are specifically designed for conditions requiring redundant sealing surfaces found in a broad range
of applications—from high pressures, and temperature ranges to large extrusion gaps or rough surface finishes.
Packing sets are design for reliable service for multiple industries. By using a variety of profiles and materials, we are able to customize design solutions to specifically address your individual applications and needs.
SPRING TYPES
CANTILEVER
CANTILEVER
CANTILEVER
Cantilever spring is made from flat metal strip stock, punched into a serpentine pattern which provides great flexibility with a moderate spring load at the edge of the seal lip, providing the best dynamic sealing.
Materials
301 Stainless Steel
Elgiloy®
Features
- V-shaped spring with moderate load vs. deflection
- Standard 300 series stainless steel springs
- NACE compliant Elgiloy springs available
CANTED
CANTILEVER
CANTILEVER
The geometry of the slanted coil spring provides a deflection range like the cantilever but with a relatively flat and moderate spring load versus deflection, making it ideal for friction-sensitive sealing applications.
Materials:
- 302 stainless steel
- C276 alloy (Hastelloy®)
Features
- Canted coil spring with flat load vs. deflections
- Light, medium, and heavy load springs standard
HELICAL
CANTILEVER
HELICAL
Helical spring is made of a flat strip stainless steel that is formed into a helix shape. The geometry of the helical spring provides the highest spring load and the smallest deflection range of all spring types, making it ideal for low pressure, vacuum, and cryogenic sealing applications.
Materials
- 17/7 PH stainless steel,
- Elgiloy
Features
- Helical wound ribbon spring with high load vs. deflection
- Standard 17/7 PH stainless steel springs
- NACE compliant Elgiloy springs available
IMPROVE EXTRUSION RESISTANCE
In many applications, back up rings are used to prevent the gap extrusion of the seals.
Backup rings perform well in extreme conditions including:
- High temperatures
- Increased pressure
- Larger extrusion gaps
Our backup rings can be made to suit any application and, in any shape, or size.
Extending the heel will increase the extrusion resistances. The extended heel can be added to most seal designs.
Anti-Extrusion rings (Back-up) prevent seal extrusion at high temperature and pressure.
