Exclusion Seals

 

 
Exclusion seals, wipers, and scrapers clean the surface of a retracting rod, removing abrasive particles such as dirt, mud, and ice. This protects the seal and extends service life. The importance of wipers cannot be overemphasized. Often a seal fails prematurely because the wiper wears out long before the primary seal. In such cases failure is not due to misapplication of the seal, but to the wiper not protecting the seal from abrasive wear. are usually produced from a material like high-quality polyurethane. They are designed to snap directly into the
