About




Founded in 1956, Clark Seals is a highly specialized seal engineering firm and precision manufacturer of elastomeric seals for original equipment manufacturers and oil and gas drilling and production. For more than 5 decades, Clark Seals has focused on providing the most advanced custom seal designs, application engineering and problem seal analysis in the industry. Today Clark Seals is considered one of the premier seal producers in the world. Clark Seals is structured as an engineering support organization, seamlessly integrating with manufacturers to provide application and manufacturing support, inventory management and purchasing logistics. Our work is fast and precise and helps strengthen all levels of engineering, manufacturing and supply-chain operations.

Clark Seals designs and manufactures various custom sealing products for Original Equipment Manufacturers using the latest design innovations and material advancements. Our sealing products are over-engineered and precisely manufactured to insure maximum reliability and performance. Some of our more common sealing products include:
• Shaft Seals
• Bearing Seals
• Mechanical Seals
• Hydraulic Seals
• Vrings
• Gaskets
• Bearing Isolators
• Molded Rubber Products

Capabilities
• Custom Seal Design: Custom seals are individually designed and optimized for each application, insuring maximum reliability and performance. Custom seals from Clark Seals differ from standard seal designs in that they are precisely engineered for each application using an extensive 144 point evaluation process. Every operational variable is analyzed thoroughly and used to adjust and optimize critical design elements. These elements include features such as case design, beam length, flex thickness, spring position, spring tension, head height, interference, contact width, primary and secondary lip geometry, etc. Custom seals from Clark Seals take approximately 7 days to design, cost the same as standard seal designs, and last approximately 7-10 times longer.
• Application Engineering: Clark Seals provides full engineering support for new and existing applications. This service is designed to improve seal performance and extend equipment life. As a seal engineering firm, Clark Seals works closely with equipment engineers to help optimize material and design elements needed for optimum sealing conditions such as: lubricant, materials, fluid level, shaft and housing hardness, surface finish, tolerance, chamfer, eccentricity, etc.
• Problem Seal Analysis: Most problem seals can be diagnosed and redesigned within 24 hours. Our seal engineering team quickly analyzes the failed seal and reviews the equipment and operating variables to determine the exact cause(s) of failure. A custom design is then created in AutoCAD using our proprietary seal optimization protocol and sent to the customer for review. Seal failures are treated as a top priority by Clark Seals and every effort is made to solve the problem within 24 hours.
• Precision Manufacturing: Clark Seals Ningbo (CSN) is one of the most advanced seal factories in the world. Completed in 2012, CSN utilizes the very best manufacturing and testing equipment, the most extensive QC systems and the brightest seal engineers from around the globe.
