single acting
the RS 0 1 seal is designed for use as a rod seal.
area of application: hydraulics
- reciprocating rods on hydraulic cylinders,push rods and fittings.
- rod for applications seals with small extrusion gap and without special impact load.
- if composite seals on PTFE basis are used,this rod seal can be used as a secondary seal.
- can also be used as a pivot seal at low loads.
note
- this seal has the correct functioning dimension only when mounted. when slipping the seal over the piston rod, it may appear too large.
- the ratio between nominal width and sealing height cs/H should not drop below a value of 1/1.25 (essentially according to ISO 5597 housings for piston and rod seals).
function
RS 0 1 profiles are lip seals designed to seal pressurised space against the atmosphere; mainly for reciprocating movements. the design is based on application in standard hydraulic systems with conventional hydraulic oils. the operating parameters are as defined in the seal- ing data sheet and material data. requirements deviating from these parameters can be met to a certain degree by changing the geom- etry in the software program

function
RS03 profiles are lip seals designed to seal pressurised space against the atmosphere; mainly for reciprocating movements. the designis based on application in standard hydraulic systems with conventional hydraulic oils. the operating parameters are as defined in thesealing data sheet and material data. requirements deviating from these parameters can be met to a certain degree by changing the geometry in the software program.
for detailed information regarding chemical resistance please refer to our „list of resistance“. for increased chemical and thermal resistance rubber
materials are to be preferred, attention should be paid to restrictions for pressure range and wear resistance. for higher gliding speeds another system should be used (e.g. PTFE materials).
note on special materials:
other materials such as Viton, Silicone, EPDM, H-NBR, etc., can be used for the preload element, but they are only useful in specific cases (temperature or
chemical influences).

- various materials are available for different purposes.
- good sealing effect across a wide temperature range.
- sealing effect enhanced by high recovery rate.
- for pressures up to 200 bar as a seal between pressurised space and atmosphere
(in certain cases even above, see “gap dimensions”).
- good sealing in all pressure ranges.
- excellent static and dynamic sealing after short run-in time.
- suitable for short and long travel.
- small break-awayload.
- no reverse leakage (i.e. minor relative motion of the sealing edges when the direction is changed).
- little friction when dry running or when used in media with poor lubrication
(conditionally suitable for use in aqueous media).

single acting
the RS03-F seal is designed for use as a rod seal.
application range
- reciprocating and swiveling rods on cylinders,push rods, fittings in the chemical industry.
note
- considering the limited long-time rupture strength of the PTFE materials, the ratio of cs/H should not fall below a value of 1/1.5. using back up rings can widen the application range.
- cross-sections limited with 15 mm.
- varying the angle of the chamfer on the dynamic sealing lip allows adaptation to media (steeper angle for high viscosity media)
- respectively a pressure relief (flat angle).
function
RS03-F profiles are lip seals designed to seal pressurised space against the atmosphere; mainly for reciprocating movements. the design is based on application in aggressive media or with high thermal demands. the operating parameters are as defined in the sealing data sheet and material data. requirements deviating from these parameters can be met to a certain degree by changing the geometry in the software program.

note on special materials:
other materials such as Viton, Silicone, EPDM, H-NBR, etc., can be used for the preload element, but they are only useful in specific cases (temperature or

gap dimension
the decisive factor for the function of the seal is the largest gap dimension occurring during operation on the non-pressurised side of the seal.

important note:
the above data are maximum value and can’t be used at the same time. e.g. the maximum operating speed depend on material type, pressure, tem- perature and gap value. temperature range also dependent on medium.
the table refers to a operating temperature of 80°C. temperatures below may increase the safe extrusion gap slightly, at temperatures above 80 °C, the gap dimensions has to be reduced or a stronger profile selected.
in exceptional cases, a pressure above the limit of 200 bar is possible, the safe extrusion gap is the result of the tolerance pair H8/f8, influences due to thermal expansion have to be considered. we also recommend contacting our our technical department.

- good sealing in low pressure ranges.
- good static and dynamic sealing.
- suitable for short travel.
- no reverse leakage (i.e. minor relative motion of the sealing edges when thedirection is changed).
- recommended for holding position under pressure

single acting
the RS07 seal is designed for use as a rod seal.
area of application: hydraulics
- reciprocating rods on hydraulic cylinders,push rods, fittings.
- as rod seals for switching functions (e.g.clutch operation).
- as rod seals for clamping seals.
- replacement for rubber fabric compact seals.
note
- under certain operating conditions, this seal may “pump” via the trailing side, i.e. as it does not fit tightly on the outside diameter, small amounts of operating media may be pressed out when the seal is deformed under pressure which may appear to be leakage.
- the ratio between nominal width and sealing height cs/H should not drop below a value of 1/1.25 (essentially according to ISO 5597 housings for piston and rod seals).
- high friction.
- high break-awaymoment.
- the recovery capacity is smaller than with simple lip rings.
- cross-section limited to 20 mm.
- not suitable for new designs (prefer the more modern RS03 type).
function
RS07 profiles are lip seals designed to seal pressurised space against the atmosphere; mainly for reciprocating movements. the design
is based on application in standard hydraulic systems with conventional hydraulic oils. the operating parameters are as defined in the
sealing data sheet and material data. requirements deviating from these parameters can be met to a certain degree by changing the
geometry in the software program.
for detailed information regarding chemical resistance please refer to our „list of resistance“. for increased chemical and thermal resistance rubber
materials are to be preferred, attention should be paid to restrictions for pressure range and wear resistance. for higher gliding speeds another system should be used (e.g. PTFE materials).
note on special materials:
other materials such as Viton, Silicone, EPDM, H-NBR, etc., can be used for the preload element, but they are only useful in specific cases (temperature or
chemical influences).

double acting
the RS09 seal is designed for use as a piston seal.
area of application: hydraulics
- reciprocating rods on hydraulic cylinders,small swivelling motion permissible.
- main field application is pressure intensifiers and control elements.
- dimensions according to ISO 7425 part 2 are common, as well as standard types that differ slightly in the depth of the mounting
space. for specific dimensions see “range of profile sizes”.
note
- there should be enough space for trailing oil.
- the recovery capacity depends on the sealing system.
- because of the fluid transport between the pressurized spaces this seal is only suitable to seal same media.
function
RS09 profiles are composite rod seals designed to seal between two pressurised spaces; mainly for reciprocating movements. the design
is based on application in standard hydraulic systems with conventional hydraulic oils. the operating parameters are as defined in the seal-
ing data sheet and material data. requirements deviating from these parameters can be met to a certain degree by changing the geom-
etry in the software program.
for detailed information regarding chemical resistance please refer to our “list of resistance”. for decreased leakage rates elastomer materials (polyure-
thane or rubber) in other sealing systems are to be preferred.
note on special materials:
as temperature limit and chemical resistance are determined by the preload element, the temperature range can be increased and the resis-
tance to chemical influences improved, if a special material is used for the preload element.

Description
the rod seal RS09-D is an rubber energised plastic faced seal. the seal is designed to expand and improve the service parameters of O-Rings and is installed in existing O-Ring grooves.
RS 09-D combines the flexibility and response of O-Rings with the wear and friction characteristics of the PTFE+.... materials in dynamic applications.
the figures below shows the cross section of the RS09-D.
the double acting performance of the seal follows from the symmetrical cross section which allow the seal to respond to pressure in both directions.
initial contact pressure is provided by radial compression of the O-Ring. when the system pressure is increased the O-Ring transforms this into additional contact pres- sure, the contact pressure of the seal is thereby automatically adjusted so sealing is ensured under all service conditions.
application
category of profile
machined or molded/standard/trade product.
double acting
the S09-SB seal is designed for use as a rod seal.
area of application: hydraulics
the RS09 D is preferably used as a double acting seal for hydraulic and pneumatic equipment in sectors such as:
- machine tools
- handling devices
- manipulators
- valves
- chemical process equipments.
it is particular recommended for light duty and small diameter applications.
notches
RS09-D is as standard supplied without radial notches, as the thin radial section of the seal gives good response to pressure variations. for diameters from 8 mm notches on both sides are optional. these ensure direct pressurizing of the seal under all operating conditions.
advantages
- compact groove dimensions and simple installation.
- low friction without stick-slip.
- resistance against wear and extrusion.
- rod seals available for all diameters from 2 to 999.9 mm.
- standard cross sections cover AS 568A and important metric O-Rings, other cross sections available on request.
- fits also groove dimensions per MIL-G-5514F.

description
the profile RS17-C rod seal is the result of a further development od us with a sec- ondary sealing lip and a highly extrusion resistant back-up ring. due to the secondary lip, additional lubricant is retained in the sealing gap. (this greatly prevents dry-run and wear, thus increasing the seal’s service life).
additionally, this second sealing lip may even act as a substitute for a costly tandem arrangement when, under certain conditions, satisfactory sealing performance can only be achieved by two seals placed one behind the other in separate installation grooves. these seals may be used for all applications where the physical properties of normal or fabric reinforced elastomers are insufficient.

description
the profile RS17-C rod seal is the result of a further development od us with a sec- ondary sealing lip and a highly extrusion resistant back-up ring. due to the secondary lip, additional lubricant is retained in the sealing gap. (this greatly prevents dry-run and wear, thus increasing the seal’s service life).
additionally, this second sealing lip may even act as a substitute for a costly tandem arrangement when, under certain conditions, satisfactory sealing performance can only be achieved by two seals placed one behind the other in separate installation grooves. these seals may be used for all applications where the physical properties of normal or fabric reinforced elastomers are insufficient.

description
space saving, compact rod seal, fits standard O-Ring housings. advantage compared to O-Ring: integrated active back-up rings for high pressure, design with interference fit on outside diameter maintains non-twisting in dynamic applications.
- asymmetric double-acting rod compact seal. the preload is achieved by the inter- nal stress of the seal material.
- interference fit on the outside diameter.
- various materials are available for different purposes.
- snaps into simple grooves (see notes on installation).
- good sealing effect across a wide temperature range.
- sealing effect enhanced by high recovery rate.
- for pressures up to 700 bar as a seal between pressurised space and atmosphereor between pressurised spaces.
- good sealing in the low pressure range.
- excellent static sealing.
- little inclination to“stick-slip”.
- the housing grooves are same as housing grooves for O-rings(see “range ofprofile sizes”)
- the activated back up rings reduce the risk of gap extrusion and prevent twistingin dynamic applications.
- space-saving design.

double acting
the RS 20 seal is designed for use as a rod seal.
area of application: hydraulics
- static and dynamic seals in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
- use in systems with O-ringgrooves instead of O-rings in case of stability problems (twisting) or “pumping”.
- for valve seals in offshore and aviation applications.
note
- the design is based on standard O-ring dimensions according AS 568 A (american O-ring dimensions). in case of large deviations from standard groove dimensions the profile has to be checked .
- a design in PU materials is not recommendable because of the large deformation force
- recovery rate is lower compared to standard lip seals.
- high break-awayload after prolonged periods of standstill.
function
RS 20 profiles are compact seals designed to seal pressurised space against the atmosphere or between pressurised spaces mainly for re- ciprocating movements, but for slight rotations as well. the design is based on application in standard hydraulic systems with conventional hydraulic oils, the use in pneumatic systems is furthermore possible. the operating parameters are as defined in the sealing data sheet and material data. requirements deviating from these parameters can be met to a certain degree by changing the geometry in the software program.

for detailed information regarding chemical resistance please refer to our „list of resistance“. for increased wear resistance and higher pressure range
polyurethane materials are to be preferred, attention should be paid to restrictions in chemical and thermal resistance. for higher gliding speeds another sealing system should be used (e.g. PTFE materials).
note on special materials:
as the temperature limits are determined by POM, using special materials for the back up ring can expand the temperature limits.
gap dimension
the size of the permissible gap on the side opposite the source of pressure depends mainly on the seal material and the design of the seal. if the permissible gap dimensions are exceeded, there will be extrusion wear on the side opposite the source of pressure which may make the seal unfit for usage.
the maximum value of the permissible extrusion gap is reached when the piston or the piston rod touches one side of the cylindrical tube or the guide.
due to the small height of the back up rings and the resulting sensitivity to extrusion, the gap size is limited for all ranges of diameter, pressure and cross section by the standard hole/shaft basis fit f8/H8, influences due to thermal expansion have to be considered.

- reciprocating rods on hydraulic cylinders,push rods, fittings.
- as rod seals for switching functions (e.g.clutch operation).
- as rod seals for clamping seals.
- replacement for rubber fabric compact seals.
note

- the recovery capacity is smaller than with simple lip rings.
- cross-section limited to 20 mm.
- not suitable for new designs (new profiles like S03-P, S08-P or S08-PE should be preferred ).
function
RS 21 profiles are lip seals designed to seal pressurised space against the atmosphere; mainly for reciprocating movements. the design is based on application in standard hydraulic systems with conventional hydraulic oils. the operating parameters are as defined in the seal- ing data sheet and material data. requirements deviating from these parameters can be met to a certain degree by changing the geom- etry in the software program.

- the hardness of the sliding surface should reach a minimum of 25 to 65 HRC, otherwise a damage of the sliding surface is possible(attention: acid-resistant steels do not always reach such hardness).
- if no “dead spot” is allowed in the sealing system (e.g.: food industry), the spring can be installed on the not pressurised side as well.
the spring tension then has to be increased by the value of the axial force, resulting from pressurisation (see “mode of installation”). in
this case the support ring has to be furnished with pressure relief grooves.

RS 2931 seal profiles are single-acting rod seal sets designed to seal pressurized space against the atmosphere; mainly for reciprocating move- ments. the design is based on application in aggressive media or with high thermal demands.

gap dimension
the size of the permissible gap on the side opposite the pressure source depends mainly on the seal material and the design of the seal. if the permissible gap dimensions are exceeded, there will be extrusion wear on the side opposite the pressure source which may make the seal unfit for usage. the maximum value of the permissible extrusion gap is reached when the piston or the piston rod touches one side of the cylindrical tube or guide. using this seal set free of defects should include extrusion gap sizes with the same tolerance range as the guiding.

- interference fit on the outside diameter.
- various materials are available for different purposes.
- snaps into simple grooves (see notes on installation).
- good sealing effect across a wide temperature range.
- for pressures up to 400 bar as a seal between pressurised space and atmosphereor between pressurised spaces.
- good sealing in the low pressure range.
- excellent static sealing.
- only few dead spots.
- the housing grooves are same as housing grooves for O-rings(see “range ofprofile sizes”)
- no twisting in dynamic applications.
- space-saving design.
application
not bolded symbols; please consult our technical for application limitations
category of profile
machined or molded/standard/trade product.
double acting
the RS35 seal is designed for use as a piston seal.
area of application: hydraulics
- static and dynamic seals in hydraulic systems.
- use in systems with O-ringgrooves instead of O-rings in case of stability problems (twisting) or “pumping”.
- for food and pharma applications or as a valve seal.
note
- decreasing preload in rotary applications is necessary because of high friction.
- a design in rubber materials is not recommendable because of the geometry (use S20-R).
function
S35-P profiles are compact seals designed to seal pressurised space against the atmosphere or between pressurised spaces mainly for re- ciprocating movements, but for slight rotations as well. the design is based on application in standard hydraulic systems with conventional hydraulic oils. the operating parameters are as defined in the sealing data sheet and material data. requirements deviating from these parameters can be met to a certain degree by changing the geometry in the software program.
operating parameters & material
diameter range: up to 600 mm
the stated operation conditions represent general indications. it is recommended not to use all maximum values simultaneously. surface speed limits apply only to the presence of adequate lubrication film.
1 pressure ratings are dependent on the size of the extrusion gap.

for detailed information regarding chemical resistance please refer to our „list of resistance“. for increased chemical and thermal resistance rubber
materials in other sealing systems are to be preferred, attention should be paid to restrictions for pressure range and wear resistance. for higher gliding speeds another system should be used (e.g. PTFE materials).

important note:
the above data are maximum value and can’t be used at the same time. e.g. the maximum operating speed depend on material type, pressure, tem- perature and gap value. temperature range also dependent on medium.
the table applies to an operating temperature of 70 °C.

mode of installation
for inside diameters of 25 mm or more, and dependant on the radial cross section (cs), the seal can be snapped into the housing.
Ød | type of installation |
≤ 6•cs | open mounting space required |
> 6•cs .....≤ 10•cs | snap mounting with tool |
> 10•cs | snap mounting by hand |
recommended mounting space:
recommended guide tolerance D1:
in most cases the guiding elements are integrated in the piston seal system on both sides. if not use below recommendations for D1 (=inside diameter of the guiding elements):
d f8 [mm] |
p ≤ 100 [bar] |
100 < p ≤ 200 [bar] |
p > 200 [bar] |
≤ 100 | H10 | H8 | H8 |
> 100 ≤ 200 | H10 | H8 | H7 |
>200 | H9 | H8 | H7 |
insertion chamfer:
in order to avoid damage to the rod seal during installation, the piston rod is to be chamfered and rounded as shown in the “recommended mounting space” drawing. the size of chamfer depends on the seal type and profile width.
