600 PSI Spring Energized Seal

Spring seals are designed to withstand heat and pressure. When exposed to hot pressurized oil or coolant or hot pressurized gas they will compress.

Product Details

Seals are an important component of many machines and mechanical drive devices. They are composed of O-rings, washers, and other molded or extruded products, and are truly named after their "sealed" mating surfaces. Most machines are not made from individual parts. On the contrary, they have multiple parts. The area where two or more parts intersect may need to be sealed to prevent leakage.

Machines with liquid or gas filling channels are not uncommon. Liquids such as oil or coolant may flow through the machine, or combustion gases may flow out of the machine. By sealing, liquids and gases will remain confined within appropriate channels. These substances can pass through the components of the machine without leaking. However, spring loaded seals are particularly effective in preventing leaks.

The characteristic of spring seals is the ability to store mechanical energy. Of course, all springs can store mechanical energy. A spring is a device that stores mechanical energy in some way. Some of them will become shorter when subjected to lateral loads to store mechanical energy. Others store mechanical energy through stretching and become longer when pulled from the side. On the other hand, spring seals store mechanical energy through compression.
