Read moreProduction downtime often starts with a small leak, a worn O-ring, an improperly selected oil seal or a seal that couldn't withstand operating conditions. This article shows how selection, inspection and planned replacement of technical seals help maintain machine uptime in industrial plants.
Read moreA photo of the seal helps preliminarily identify the element type, but usually is not sufficient for an accurate quote. See which technical data are needed to select and price a seal without risk of error.
Read moreNBR, FKM, EPDM and VMQ are popular materials used in technical seals. Check how they differ, where they are used, and why rubber selection should depend on the medium, temperature and operating conditions.
Read moreA complete set of basic technical data — such as installation dimensions, medium, temperature, pressure and type of motion — makes it faster to select the correct seal profile and material. Check what to prepare before sending an inquiry.
Read moreThe working medium directly affects the durability and tightness of a seal. Learn why selecting the material requires accounting not only for dimensions but also temperature, pressure, type of motion and operating conditions.
