Their main function is to seal the cylinder on the piston or piston rod. Whether in an unpressurised state or under pressure, they prevent the medium escaping from the cylinder, thus ensuring the cylinder function. Materials, design and placing sequence must be adapted to the varying requirements. Whether a U-ring should be made of pure elastomer or whether it should have a support ring, if necessary integrated in a fabric back, depends on the design of the particular cylinder in question. The characteristics which distinguish U-rings are on the one hand the geometry of the diameter – here a distinction is always made between symmetric and asymmetric designs – but also in the shape and final processing of the sealing lips. Different U-ring geometries and materials should be chosen for heavyduty applications with high safety aspects and little movement, e.g. in derrick cylinders for cranes or hydraulic cylinders in barrages, than those required for working cylinders of earthmoving machinery where the focus is on high resistance to wear. Totally different designs and materials to those used in hydraulics are on the other hand required for pneumatic cylinders. Symmetrical U-rings can be used as piston seals as well as piston rod seals. Asymmetrical U-rings are designed only as piston or piston rod seals. They are optimally adapted to the applications. The function that all U-rings have in common is diameter energising. The oversized lips allow them to be pressed on to the surrounding sealing surface when built-in, creating linear force around the circumference: in the seal groove and on the dynamic side of the seal, the piston rod and/or the running surface of the cylinder. The U-ring’s sealing function is guaranteed even in this unpressurized state. The hydraulic liquid is held back at the sealing site which enables a further increase in pressure. This pressure build-up results in the hydraulic contact pressure of the medium against the seal lips overriding the energising factor. The movement of the dynamic side completes the sealing mechanism. The higher the liquid pressure, the more intensive the contact pressure of the seal on the surrounding surfaces and the greater the sealing function. 9 The requirements of the task and the possibilities of the U-ring must be carefully balanced as these have a decisive influence on the selection of the seal and the resulting operating safety of the system. Materials Acrylonitrile-butadiene caoutchouc – NBR NBR is the most commonly used material in all areas of seal technology due to its good physical and mechanical characteristics and its excellent processing abilities. For U-rings it is used in hardnesses between 75 and 90 Shore A and for O-rings as energising elements it is generally used in 70 Shore A. This elastomer has the rigidity, hardness and abrasion resistance necessary for U-rings. NBR is resistant to most oils and mineral oil based fats used in hydraulics and also to their emulsions with water. NBR materials have only moderate resistance against weathering and ozone influences if they are not specially developed for these applications. However, the standard resistance is sufficient for most applications of U-rings and their energising elements made of NBR as with typical applications in hydraulics, the elastomer surfaces are moistened with oil or fat. These media form a stable surface protective layer and minimise the intensity of ozone influence. Generally, the standard NBR 90 quality which is used for most U-rings can be applied at temperatures from -30° C to +100° C. The temperature application limits for NBR 70 O-rings as energising elements in U-rings is also from – 30 ° C to +100 ° C but under special circumstances for both parts a temperature as low as – 40 ° C is still acceptable. NBR is processed in moulding tools in various compression and vulcanising processes to form U-rings or O-rings. Fabric materials Fabric materials are textiles or nonspecific fibrous materials which are impregnated with elastomer materials. With textiles that have a woven structure, a distinction is made according to the thickness or weight per surface area, known as grammage. Another distinguishing characteristic is the basic material these textiles are made of, e.g. cotton or synthetic fibre. Cotton textile impregnated with NBR is most frequently used for the production of standard U-rings. Apart from the standard materials, there is a whole range of other textiles available and almost all elastomers for impregnation. Impregnated fabric materials have numerous advantages over pure elastomers. The most important are, compressive creep resistance, extrusion safety, dimensional stability and low friction and wear behaviour. They also show little inclination to swelling in hydraulic media and are well-suited to applications at low temperatures. In a two-stage process, the fabric materials are preprocessed into slugs and then vulcanised into seals in a compression moulding die with heat application. A multi-component seal can be produced out of pure elastomer which is moulded on. Polyurethane Polyurethane is one of the group of elastic thermoplastic materials which have been established in seal technology for many years due to their physical characteristics and efficient processing features. Polyurethan at a hardness range of between 65 and 98 Shore A is used. Among the most important material characteristics are its great tensile strength, good wear resistance, good 10 flexibility at a temperature range from – 40° C to +100° C and also good ageing stability against ozone. The mineral oil based oils and fats used in hydraulics have a minimal influence on the physical properties of Polyurethane. Polyurethane AU 92 AU 92, with very few exceptions, in the polyurethane used for U-rings. The characteristics of this type of material unite the appropriate rigidity, hardness and in particular, abrasion resistance necessary for U-rings. The injection moulding process applied in most cases requires complex machinery and moulding tools and for this reason is most appropriate for large-scale production. Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) PTFE has numerous positive characteristics which have become indispensable in seal technology. In particular, we would like to emphasise the characteristics which are essential for its application as U-ring material: PTFE is distinguished by exceptional rigidity and very good gliding characteristics. Due to its extremely low surface energy, it has a very low coefficient of friction (values of under 0.02 are known) and exceptional non-bonding, non-wettable contact surfaces. In addition, its extreme hydrophobia must be mentioned: PTFE is absolutely water-repellent. It is resistant to almost all chemicals and remains stable within an extremely wide temperature range. Apart from this, it is immune to attack by oxygen, ozone or ultra-violet rays and is therefore completely resistant to weathering. PTFE does not contain any extractable media which could 11 drift off and adversely affect adjacent materials. It is therefore physiologically completely harmless in contact with foodstuffs and also particularly wellsuited for applications in the pharmaceutical and medicinal fields. Combined with different compounds, PTFE has proved to be excellent material for U-rings. In particular, PTFE/carbon with a 15 % – 25 % proportion of carbon improves the wear resistance of the material which already has excellent gliding characteristics. The pressure hardness is also increased by this additive. PTFE alone is only slightly elastic. For this reason the activation of U-rings is compensated with elastic energising elements in the form of stainless steel springs. Polyoxymethylene POM Polyoxymethylene is a thermoplastic material and is distinguished by its particularly high pressure load bearing ability, rigidity and hardness. Apart from its application as a pure material, POM can be compounded with extenders to further improve the compressive creep resistance and wear resistance which results in a longer service life. Due to POM's low water absorption it is not subjected to any volume change which is not always the case with thermoplastics. Due to its excellent characteristics under extreme loads, POM is often processed as a seal accompanying element, e.g. as a support ring or a piston guiding element with an angular design. With a temperature range from – 40° C to +100° C, POM can be used in almost all standard seal application areas. Polyoxymethylene is processed by injection moulding in most cases. The slugs can also be processed in a chip removal process. FPM fluorcaoutchouc The FPM elastomer is distinguished by its excellent chemical and temperature resistance (from – 20° C to +200° C). It therefore plays an important part as a U-ring material outside the standard. Due to the above characteristics it is essential to use FPM when extremely high temperatures occur in the surrounding of the hydraulic cylinder and highly flammable type D liquids have to be used. FPM is generally used in 90 Shore A and can also be processed in combination with metal. General notes for installation Although the materials used in our U-rings are particularly effective and robust, special care is still required during installation in order to avoid mechanical damage especially to the sealing lip. This would inevitably lead to leakage. Furthermore, the U-rings should be checked prior to installation for damage or ageing that could have occurred during transportation or storage. To ensure safe installation, the following precautions should be taken: 1. Installation of the seal must take place with the prestressed side facing the direction of pressure. Particular care must be taken with compact U-rings as the prestressed side is not allways easily recognisable. 2. Lead-in chamfers on the cylinder and on the piston rod are essential. The recommended lengths and angles are given in the installation dimensions for the various U-rings in this catalogue. 5. Tips of screws and grooves for guide elements, etc. should be covered using an installation cone, as the seal must not be pushed over gaps, drillings or rough surfaces. 6. Cylinders, rods, seals and installation tools must be greased or oiled before installation, giving consideration to compatibility with the medium. 7. Materials are made smoother and expand a great deal more easily for installation if they are heated in oil or hot water at approx. 80°C, giving consideration to the resistance. 8. Any tools used for installation, e.g. cones and mandrels for expansion, should be made of soft material (e.g. POM) and not have any sharp edges. 3. Sharp edges must be deburred and radii and chamfers applied in accordance with the installation guidelines. 4. Dust, dirt, metal chips and any other foreign particles must be carefully removed.

During operation, these are subject to various stresses and must therefore be adapted to the different requirements in terms of material, structure and arrangement. The key criteria are media compatibility and temperature resistance, pressure, friction, wear resistance, stroke speed and frequency as well as service life. Seals, grooves and wipers should already be selected in the construction phase of the cylinder so that the finish of the metal surfaces and the design and dimensions of the grooves can be carefully manufactured in accordance with the installation housing guidelines. Rounded corners in the groove base (1) ensure the correct position of the U-ring and rounded flanks of the groove’s edges (2) minimise the risk of the seal moving into the metal gap. The suitable surface finish of the groove base (3) and the groove flanks (4), adherence to the tolerances for the groove width (5), the lead-in chamfer (6) and the dimensions of the seal gap on the side opposite the pressure (7), as well as the surface finish of the opposed surface (8), play a major role in ensuring the optimal service life of the seals. U-rings can generally be installed in cut housing grooves. However, wider profiles and particularly small inner diameters require an axial opening to the housing. The fit must be taken into consideration accordingly, which requires special experience. Should you require advice, please contact our technical department. Sufficient guiding for the pistons and the piston rods must be ensured, as seals can never perform guiding tasks. Wipers ensure that no foreign particles enter the medium system of a cylinder that could destroy the seals. In order to retain a clean system and to protect the environment against oil pollution, no hydraulic cylinder should be used without a wiper. 5 4 4 7 2 6 8 3 1 5 1 4 1 4 7 8 3 6 2 13 Overview of U-rings Ref.

In a limited range, half-open or closed housing is also possible. Please also follow the general installation instructions on page 12 of this catalogue or ask our advice. Function The MA 43 is a single function piston rod seal in the form of a U-ring with seal lips of varying design. These achieve optimal sealing strength and reduce friction. This results in the seal having an exceptionally long service life. The metal spring permanently activates the seal lips which guarantees zero leakage even in an unpressurized state. As a result of the exceptionally positive material characteristics of PTFE, there is no stick slip movement of the rod at differing stroke speeds, even during a single cycle and with extremely slight movements. Total lack of leakage with regard to media viscosity and its hydrodynamic dragging behaviour as well as dependable functioning in high temperature, speed and pressure areas characterise these seals. They are used as piston rod seals in hydraulics and pneumatics. Remarks The nominal widths marked in red on the following pages represent standard dimensions. They are generally in stock or can be delivered at short notice. In addition, we are able to produce any other dimensions required. For operating conditions other than the standard applications, further PTFE compounds and V springs made of ELGILOY ® are available. The use of PTFE compounds in the pharmaceutical and foodstuffs industries is completely harmless. However, in this case, the spring housing of the seal should be filled completely with a flexible silicone casting compound so that a smooth surface is formed.
