101 Series: Rod Seal

The 101 Series Rod U-Cup seal is one of System Seals’ most popular designs used in standard-duty applications.

101 Series

The 101 Series U-Cup is one of the most versatile seals typically used as a primary seal in moderate to high-pressure applications. In applications requiring Zero-Leak Technology, it is often used as a secondary seal with the 124 Series buffer seal.
