Hydraulic seals are devices that play a key role in hydraulic systems. Its main function is to prevent fluid from leaking from the sealing gap, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the hydraulic system. This article will introduce the function of hydraulic seals, common types and precautions for their use.

First of all, the role of hydraulic seals mainly has two aspects. On the one hand, it prevents liquid leakage. In hydraulic systems, lubrication and sealing are very important. Hydraulic seals prevent liquid from escaping from leaks by forming seals in the sealing gaps of hydraulic components such as pistons, valves, and cylinders. On the other hand, hydraulic seals can also prevent external substances (such as dust, moisture, etc.) from entering the hydraulic system and keep the inside of the system clean.

Common types of hydraulic seals include O-rings, piston seals, oil seals, etc.  O-ring is the most common hydraulic seal with a circular cross-section. It is suitable for static sealing and low-speed reciprocating sealing. Piston seals are usually used to seal between the piston rod and the cylinder, and they can withstand high temperatures and pressures. Oil seals are mainly used for sealing rotating shafts, such as the main shaft seals of hydraulic pumps.

When using hydraulic seals, you need to pay attention to the following points.

the correct seal type and material must be selected to ensure that it is suitable for the working conditions of the hydraulic system. For example, in high temperature and high pressure environments, seals should be selected that can withstand these conditions. Secondly, when installing seals, attention should be paid to maintaining a good sealing surface to avoid damage to the seals. In addition, regularly inspect and replace worn and aging seals to ensure the sealing performance of the hydraulic system.

hydraulic seals are an indispensable and important part of the hydraulic system. It plays a vital role in maintaining the normal operation of the hydraulic system and extending its service life. The efficiency and reliability of your hydraulic system can be maximized through proper selection, installation and maintenance of hydraulic seals.
