Heavy-Duty Piston U-Cup Seal with Active Backup Ring

Series 227: Heavy-Duty Piston U-Cup Seal with Active Backup Ring

The 227 Series is a heavy duty polyurethane piston seal with a U-cup design and active backup ring. This pressure-relieving design is ideal for back-to-back tandem arrangements. The active backup ring allows larger clearances and higher pressures. The asymmetrical design of the U-cup seal allows maximum stability in the seal groove. It is an ideal choice when pressure trapping is a problem.

Installation

Benefits

High pressure capability and wide temperature range

Pressure-relieving design prevents pressure trapping

Excellent fluid compatibility including water-based fluids (H-PU)

Exceptional abrasion resistance

Applications

The 227 Series piston seal is typically used in heavy-duty applications, where pressure trapping, high pressure and large extrusion gaps exist.

Typical Applications

  • Steel and aluminum processing
  • Mobile Hydraulics
  • Hydraulic Cylinder Rebuild
  • Agricultural Hydraulics
  • Construction Equipment
