For the more demanding applications where catalogue seals restrict your design, we are able to offer a bespoke solution. In most circumstances catalogue seals have been designed to suit a wide range of applications resulting in a product that is larger, heavier, and has higher frictional losses preventing you from optimising your products performance and/or size.

Elastomer seals are typically produced using Nitrile (NBR), Polyacrylic (ACM), or Fluorocarbon (FKM) materials each of which have varying performance limits in terms of temperature, surface speeds, and typically run with higher friction resulting in increased temperatures, higher shaft wear and oil degradation

For these more demanding requirements we are able to offer a hybrid PTFE (Teflon®) elastomer seal, which is produced by forming and chemically bonding a layer of PTFE on to the running surface of the seal lip. Offering superior life and performance to seals available with a thin sprayed/dipped PTFE coating. When compared to other PTFE seals, which use single or multiple PTFE wafers, our hybrid PL technology offers a more flexible solution for high-speed shaft dynamics.

For the more challenging projects our innovative approach has enabled us to solve problems such as high shaft eccentricity, assembly/service, dry running, and many more.
