Hallite 16 Rod Seal

Design
Used in tandem, the Hallite 16 rod seal provides the designer with a compact low friction seal for light to medium duty hydraulic cylinders.

It has a special filled PTFE ring with a pre-loaded lip energised by an O ring. The lip is designed to have a contact area with the rod adequate to retain the media at low pressure. As high pressure acts on the O ring it compresses the lip against the rod increasing the contact area and the effectiveness of the seal. The special PTFE ring has the low frictional properties normally associated with this material but is strengthened by additives to reduce creep. It has a low breakout friction so stick-slip is eliminated. Standard seals are supplied with a nitrile O ring but other materials can be provided. For the best results it is recommended two seals are fitted. The PTFE ring should always be mounted with the sealing lip on the pressure side. Sizes above 30mm are easily installed by deforming the PTFE ring into a kidney shape, sizes under 30mm are best installed using a tool, details of which can be provided. A number of material options can be provided to extend operating conditions. Please ensure that the correct part number is specified for the material option as indicated.

Hallite 18 heavy duty Single Acting Seal

A medium to heavy duty single acting seal, the Hallite 18 has shown itself over the years to be an effective and robust seal in a wide variety of applications.

The seal comprises a rubberised fabric U form base to which is bonded a rubber energiser.

The seal section is pre-loaded by the housing when installed to ensure effective sealing at low pressure. When the pressure increases the rubber energises the U form to increase the sealing area and hence the efficiency of the seal. The strength and durability of the rubberised fabric combines with its ability to retain lubricant keeping friction and wear to a minimum.

In a piston application the Hallite 18 should not be used back to back to make a double acting assembly.

Hallite 621 ROD SEAL

The Hallite 621 is a top-of-the-range twin lip rod seal designed to provide a dry sealing solution in heavy-duty applications.

The secondary sealing lip located behind the primary sealing lip improves stability of the seal in the gland. The unique profile of the NBR energiser ensures the precision trimmed primary sealing lips maintain contact under low or no pressure situations while ensuring proper sealing at higher pressures. This unique profile is also used in the Hallite 622 twin lip rod seal. The Hallite 621 also incorporates an acetal anti-extrusion ring to withstand side loads and extreme pressure peaks even with the extrusion gaps, which are the result of using remote plastic bearing strips like the Hallite 506 or 708.

The Hallite 621’s seal shell is molded in Hythane® 181, Hallite’s high-performance polyurethane, for easy installation and excellent low temperature performance.

Hallite 730 PISTON SEAL Double-Acting

The Hallite 730 double-acting piston seal in a four part assembly is designed for use in heavy-duty applications where position holding ability is important, such as longwall mining roof support applications using water-based fluids and large diameter crane cylinders using standard hydraulic oils.

Hallite 51 Piston Seal

The Hallite 51 is a heavy duty piston seal which, when installed in pairs, provides an excellent double acting piston design. It is particularly suitable for difficult operating conditions such as pressure surging, vibration or some misalignment.

The seal is an assembly of three parts, a male adaptor, a V ring and a female adaptor. Both the V ring and female adaptor are made from rubberised fabric which has a durability and strength, it also retains lubricant at the sliding surfaces so friction and wear are kept to a minimum. The V ring being the primar seal is more flexible than the adaptor whic supports it and prevents extrusion damage. At higher pressures the adaptor deforms and becomes a secondary seal.

The polyacetal male adaptor has grooves across the face to ensure pressure is evenly applied to the V ring.

Hallite 155 for Bore Sealing Applications

The Hallite 155 U-ring static seal designed to seal the joint between the gland and the cylinder bore. The Hallite 155 replaces the conventional O-ring and back-up ring combination.

Through its special design and polyester material compound, the seal will work with a maximum extrusion gap of 0.40 mm at 500 bar pressure.

Every nominal diameter of the Hallite 155 is suitable for a range of bore diameters, ØD₁. See part number range for details.

This seal was developed for water-based, HFA, applications, but can also be used with standard mineral oil fluids.

Hallite 653 ROD BUFFER SEAL

The Hallite 653 single-acting rod buffer seal is designed to be used in conjunction with a high-performance rod seal, such as the Hallite 605 and 621, to protect the primary seal from shock pressure loading and high frequency pressure spikes in the hydraulic system. The design allows oil to pass through to the rod seal while holding back pressure spikes. The Hallite 653 is a patented product (European patent no. 0427554BI; U.S.A. patent no. 5088747) that also allows pressure to pass back into the system preventing a pressure trap between the rod seal and the buffer seal. The Hallite 653 is an excellent pressure buffer option in heavy-duty applications and offers extended sealing system life and performance.

Hallite 13 Vee Pack Rod Seal for heavy duty applications

The Hallite 13 is a Vee pack rod seal for heavy duty applications offering excellent performance and long life even under difficult operating conditions such as pressure surges, vibration and some misalignment. The seal assembly consists of a male and female adaptor and 5 vee rings.

The male adaptor is usually manufactured form polyacetal but some of the larger sizes use rubberised fabric. It has grooves across one face to ensure equal pressure to the sealing edges of the vee ring.

All sizes have vee rings manufactured from rubberised fabric because this has strength and durability and permits an oil film to lubricate the other parts of the seal. Some sizes are supplied with rubber vee rings between the rubberised fabric vee rings.

The female adaptor uses a hard rubberised fabric to support the vee rings and protect them from extrusion damage. At high pressure the lips of the adaptor act as a secondary seal.

Hallite 11 Vee Pack Rod Seal

The Hallite 11 is a vee pack rod seal for medium duty applications offering excellent performance and long life even under difficult operating conditions such as pressure surges, vibration and some misalignment. The seal consists of a male and female adaptor and 5 vee rings. The male adaptor is usually manufactured from polyacetal but some of the larger sizes use rubberised fabric. It has grooves across one face to ensure equal pressure to the sealing edges of the vee ring.

All sizes have three rings manufactured from rubberised fabric because this has strength and durability and permits an oil film to lubricate the other parts of the seal. Two rubber vee rings are supplied between the rubberised fabric vee rings (up to and including 140mm diameter) to aid low pressure sealing.

The female adapter uses a hard rubberised fabric to support the vee rings and protect them from extrusion damage. At high pressure the lips of the adaptor acts as a secondary seal.

The proportions of the range have been determined to give a satisfactory performance when used with the recommended operating conditions.
