Rod seal Prädifa series BS, Ultrathan®

The BS Ultrathan® rod seal is a U-ring with interference fit on the outer diameter and a secondary sealing lip. It is extremely wear-resistant, ensures reliable load holding performance and is suitable for high-pressure hydraulic applications. The additional lip results in a larger deposit of lubrication film underneath the seal. This largely prevents dry running and higher wear, and achieves longer service life. 

 

Benefits:
• Excellent sealing performance due to elongated contact area and multiple sealing lips.
• Exceptionally high static and dynamic sealing performance.
• Enhanced sealing performance in non-pressurized conditions.
• Penetration of air into the system is largely prevented.
• Robust seal profile for harshest operating conditions.
• Extreme wear resistance.
• Easier installation.
• Insensitive to pressure peaks.
• Improved lubrication due to pressure medium deposit in the dynamic contact area.
• High extrusion resistance.
• Excellent media resistance in case of suitable compound selection.
• Suitable compounds available for special requirements of the chemical process industry.
• Suitable compounds available for special requirements of the food processing industry.
• Dimensions according to ISO 5597.
• Short radial assembly depth.
• Installation in closed and undercut housings.
• Further dimensions of machined series with short lead times available.

Range of application:
Mainly for sealing piston rods and plungers in heavy-duty applications in mobile and stationary hydraulics. The range of dimensions is primarily oriented to the requirements of ISO 5597 and ISO 3320 for housings and diameters.
