For internally and externally
sealing functions
Type MRA and MRI are double-acting composite seals. They are primarily
used with alternating directions of pressure (e.g. piston seals).
Type SRI and SRA are single-acting composite seals. They have proven to
be particular effective for sealing piston rods. The sealing effect is
produced by the inherent preload of the PTFE profile ring vis--vis the rod
and the preload of the rubber-elastic O-ring in the groove area.
With rising system pressure the radial contact pressures increase as well.
R otary composite seals are particularly well suited for sealing rotating
shafts, such as in rotary transmissions, rotary distributors, rotary joints
and swiveling motors in mobile hydraulics and machine tools. A specially
designed slide ring based on PTFE or PE is pressed against the surface
by an elastomer O-ring and additionally activated by the system pressure.

V-packings and V-packing kits are primarily used for sealing rods
subjected to axial motion. A packing kit consists of the number
of V-packings needed for the particular application requirements
as well as a base and end ring. In case there is a risk of gap
extrusion under high pressure loads, the base and end rings may
also be made of metallic materials. To achieve pre-defined
sealing forces and adjustment of the packing in case of thermal
expansion, installation of an axially acting spring (compression
spring or cup spring) is necessary.
