Spring Energized Seal

Spring-energized seals provide durable and reliable sealing solutions in critical applications and under extreme operating conditions in different industries.

Spring-energized seals are a highly reliable option when standard elastomer-based and polyurethane-based seals will not meet the operating limits, equipment parameters, or environmental conditions of your application. Even when a standard seal might meet basic needs, many engineers turn to spring-energized seals for an added level of

Basic design parameters of spring-energized seals:

• Made from high-performance fluoroplastic compounds and engineered plastics that have outstanding physical and technical characteristics, but are rigid rather than flexible.
• Use springs to provide a consistent load throughout the circumference of the seal and create a leak-tight seal between the jacket and the hardware.
• Use system pressure to create an additional sealing force between the jacket and the hardware.
• In this combination, the spring forces the seal lips against the gland and rod surfaces, while pressure assists the spring force.
• The result: virtual leak-free sealing, high reliability, longer asset life

Spring-energized seals are used in a broad range of rotary, reciprocating, oscillating, and stationary fluid power and material process equipment/systems.

Primary industrial areas for use include:

• Oil & Gas Industry (upstream and downstream)
• Aerospace
• Instrumentation
• Chemical processing
• Energy sector
• Medical
• Military
