Spring Loaded Seals
High-performance PTFE seals for extreme temperatures and chemicals
Spring loaded seals, also known as spring energized seals, combine a PTFE sealing jacket with a metal spring energizer to deliver reliable performance in extreme conditions. They maintain consistent sealing force across wide temperature ranges, resist aggressive chemicals, and perform well in low-lubrication environments where traditional elastomers can fail.
Key Takeaways
- Reliable sealing in extreme temperatures and aggressive chemical environments
- PTFE jacket + metal spring energizer maintains consistent sealing force
- Performs in low-lubrication or dry-running conditions
- Effective in both static and dynamic applications
- Ideal when traditional elastomer seals are not suitable
