Dynamic Seals
Dynamic seals include oil seals, hydraulic and pneumatic seals, exclusion seals, labyrinth seals, bearing isolators, and piston rings. They create a barrier between moving and stationary surfaces in applications such as rotating shafts and pistons rings.  This is a general search form; more detailed search forms are available.
Oil Seals and Grease Seals
Oil seals and grease seals have a flexible lip that rubs against a shaft or housing to prevent the leakage or ingress of fluids and dirt.
Hydraulic Seals and Pneumatic Seals
Hydraulic seals and pneumatic seals include piston seals, rod seals, U-cups, vee, cup, and flange packings.
Gaskets and Gasketing
Gaskets are used to prevent fluid or gas leaks by providing a barrier between two mating surfaces.
Expansion Joints
Expansion joints connect two fixed assemblies or pipes and provide allowance for movement due to service load, shock, or thermal cycles.
