Heavy-Duty Accumulator Piston Seal

Series 263: Heavy-Duty Accumulator Piston Seal

The 263 series is one of the most robust five-piece piston seals available on the market. It consists of a profiled energizer, a PTFE-filled seal element, two active anti-extrusion backup rings and an elastomeric quad ring. It is designed for double-acting cylinders in heavy-duty applications subject to severe pressure spikes coupled with high running clearance. it offers zero-drift performance due to the elastomeric seal ring, which also makes it ideally suited for gas sealing applications.

Installation

Benefits

Long service life under the harshest conditions

Compatible with water-based fluids

Optimized for high running clearance

Easy installation

Applications

The 263 series piston seal is ideal for sealing gaseous media or where zero cylinder drift is required.

Typical applications include:

  • Accumulators
  • Specialty high-pressure cylinders
  • Various advancing and secondary cylinders

The 263 series piston seal features custom blended PTFE-filled compounds that provide ultra-low friction and high-speed performance and minimal wear. The standard compounds are PTFE-filled with bronze filler or PTFE-fille with glass-moly. The 263 series features a robust elastomeric energizer with backup rings in a high strength thermoplastic. The temperature range of the seal can be increased by selecting an FPM energizer in place of the standard NBR energizer.
