3 Introduction O. L. Sealing Systems consists of a range of static and dynamic SlipRing seals and a range of GuideStrip bearings for the guiding of pistons and piston rods. The great variety of designs and materials makes it possible to solve most sealing problems. SlipRing seals SlipRing seals consist of an elastic base the energizer covered by a SlipRing of a harder and more wear resistant material. The idea behind SlipRing seals is to combine the properties of an elastomer with the excellent frictional and wear resistent properties of the SlipRing material. As the SlipRing is the»dynamic«part of the seal which slides against the sealing surface, it is obvious that the high quality of the SlipRing material is of major importance for reliable functioning of the seal. The Kefloy materials are a series of high quality composite materials especially developed by O.L. Seals for use for SlipRings. Function of SlipRing seals SlipRing seals are so-called automatic seals. This means that the seal is actuated by the pressure; the higher the pressure, the higher the force between the SlipRing and the sealing surface. 1 O-Ring energizer 2 SlipRing Pressure 2 1 Advantages of SlipRing seals Compared to conventional elastomeric seals, SlipRing seals have several advantages. Service life The excellent wear properties of Kefloy materials assure the SlipRing seals a long service life even under harsh working conditions. Extrusion resistance The hardness of Kefloy makes SlipRing seals resistant to extrusion. Low Friction The Kefloy materials have a low coefficient of friction. SlipRings used as dynamic seals absorb less energy and generate less heat than conventional seals. No Stick-slip The static and the dynamic coefficient of friction of Kefloy is almost identical. This ensures stick-slip free start and stop and a smooth and chatter free travel plus the possibility of accurate positioning. No vulcanizing Unlike many other materials Kefloy will never vulcanize to the sealing surface. Even after many years of standstill, SlipRings will function smooth and troublefree. Wide temperature range SlipRings of Kefloy will maintain their good properties from low to high temperatures. By selecting the right O-Ring energizer material, SlipRing seals will function troublefree over a wide range of temperatures. Friction Hydraulic pressure Typical values for 50 mm piston seals 1 Elastomer seal 2 SlipRing seal Stick-slip MPa Wide fluid range Kefloy materials are resistant to almost all types of fluids. Combined with the right O-Ring energizer material SlipRings can be used with nearly all fluids. High speeds SlipRings of Kefloy can be used for reciprocating applications with speeds up to 15 m/sec.

4 Piston Seals SlipRing SlipRing type is a double acting piston seal consisting of an outer sliding part of Kefloy energized by a rubber O-ring. SlipRing is pressure responsive. SlipRing can be used with a great variety of fluids. Kefloy is compatible with virtually all fluids. To avoid extrusion SlipRing is chamfered. SlipRing type is a heavy duty piston seal recommended for pressures up to 40 MPa. Where an extremely low friction is required a light series of SlipRing is available. See installation chart.

6 Piston Seals SharpSeal SharpSeal type is a very efficient SINGLE ACTING seal. The design of the seal concentrates the sealing forces at the sealing edge. This ensures an excellent leakage control over the whole pressure range. The sealing edge virtually scrapes the sealing surface dry. Where a completely dry sealing surface is required, it is possible to install SharpSeal in tandem as shown on the drawing. The SharpSeal ensures automatic pressure relief between the two seals. No ventilation between the seals is necessary. SharpSeal is also available in a light series.

16 Rotating Seals TurnRing TurnRing Type and Are double acting seals for rotating applications. It consists of a seal-ring of Kefloy energized by a rubber O-Ring. The seal configuration ensures an efficient leakage control over the whole pressure range from zero to 40 MPa. The very low friction and the non stick-slip properties of the Kefloy compounds ensure a smooth operation. The small installation dimensions allow a compact design of the hardware. This is a major advantage in e.g. swivel joints with many ports. Working parameters Pressure: From zero to 40 MPa. Temperature: -40 C to +180 C (dependent on O-Ring material). Velocity: Continuous up to 1 m/sec. Intermittent up to 5 m/sec. Fluids: Kefloy is compatible with virtually all fluids liquids as well as gases. By selecting the right material for the O-Ring energizer, it is possible to cover almost all fluids. Service life: The service life of TurnRing is affected by a great number of factors. The most important factors are pressure, velocity, surface finish, fluid, and the possibility for the seal to get rid of the generated heat. Only tests with the actual working parameters will determine the exact service life.

18 Wear Rings GuideStrip GuideStrip The use of GuideStrip ensures an accurate and smooth travel of sliding parts. It prevents metal-to-metal contact and scoring of the surfaces. The precise guiding and the preservation of perfect surfaces are essential for trouble-free functioning of the seals. GuideStrip also protects the seals against diesel-effect and, to some degree, prevents eventual contamination reaching the seals. Precise guiding Wear resistant High load capacity No stick-slip Damping of mechanical vibrations Prevent migration of dirt Easy to install Prevent galling of surfaces Working Range Load capacity: Depends on working temperature. Dimensioning of GuideStrip is described on page 20. Temperature range: -40 C to +180 C. Velocity: Reciprocating up to 15 m/sec. Frequency: Up to 10 Hz Rotating: Up to 1 m/sec. Fluids: GuideStrip is compatible with virtually all fluids lubricating as well as non lubricating. Availability GuideStrips are delivered either in fixed length or in strip form in rolls.

20 Wear Rings GuideStrip Dimensioning of GuideStrip When calculating the force a GuideStrip can carry, use formula: ➀ F = d x T x P s F: Force carrying capacity of one GuideStrip d: Internal diameter of GuideStrip T: Width of GuideStrip P s : Specific load capacity of GuideStrip material at the actual working temperature. Is found from Load-Temperature diagram ➀. Example: Guidetrip R A-13 Working temperature 80 C d = 80 mm T = 14,8 mm P s = 10 N/mm 2 F 80 mm x 14,8 mm x 10 N/mm 2 = N Deformation Deformation under load is found from Load-Deformation diagram ➁. Friction Coefficient of friction is influenced by a great number of factors such as surface finish, fluid, load and velocity. As a rule the following coefficients of friction can be used: Lubricated applications: µ = 0,08 Unlubricated applications: µ = 0,12 ➁ Calculation of length To allow for thermal expansion GuideStrip is made slightly shorter than the circumference of the part they guide. This leaves a smal gap X. Internal applications (for rod) L = 3,115 (ød + W) 1,0 ød = Rod diameter W = GuideStrip thickness External applications (for bore) L = 3,115 (ød - W) 1,0 ød = Bore diameter W = GuideStrip thickness Cut Types GuideStrip can be furnished with three different types of cut A, B or Z. A: Angle cut 30 For reciprocating applications B: But cut 90 For rotating applications. Z: Step cut For special applications. GuideStrip Thickness For ease of installation thin sections of GuideStrip should be used for small diameters. For diameters below 25 mm, GuideStrip thickness of 1,5 mm is recommended. For diameters below 40 mm, GuideStrip thickness of 2,0 mm is recommended. Ordering example when ordering in meters GuideStrip thickness: 2,5 mm GuideStrip width: 9,5 mm Required length: 75 m Required compound: Kefloy 22 ORDER: 75 m

22 Installation Hints Important For all installation of seals it is important not to scratch the sealing surfaces. 1. Avoid sharp edges on seal housings. 2. Use tools that are smooth and free of burrs. 3. Keep everything clean. depth to suit Length equal to overall length of mandrel Installation of External Seals on Pistons For installation of bigger series of seals, it is convenient to make a set of assembly tools. It consists of a tapered mandrel and a pusher made of acetal or similar plastic. Seals are pushed over the mandrel into the groove by a quick push. For installation of a few seals, two pieces of strapping used as shown at fig. 2 and 3 are sufficient. Where the piston has to be installed in a bore without an inlet chamfer, a calibrating tool will facilitate the installation. See fig. 4. Installation of Internal Seals in Glands Installation of small diameter internal seals requires open grooves. For bigger diameter seals it is possible to assemble by collapsing the seal as shown on fig. 5 and 6. After installation of the seal it should be calibrated by a well chamfered and smooth rod of acetal or similar plastic. ➀ ➁ ➂ Flat ➅ Size Internal Cross no diameter sec , , , ,47 1, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,24 2, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,90 Size Internal Cross no diameter sec , , , , , , ,99 2, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,52 3, , , , , , , , , , , ,27 A.S. and B.S.
