application
not bolded symbols; please consult our technical for application limitations
category of profile
machined or molded/standard/trade product.
double acting
the RS09-A 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 RS 09-D 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.

single acting
the RS 19 seal is designed for use as a rod seal.
area of application: hydraulics
reciprocating and swiveling rods on cylinders, push rods, fittings in the chemical industry.
note
- special measures required when used at temperatures below -60°C, because of material shrinkage.
- considering the limited long-time rupture strength of PTFE materials,the cs/H ratio should not fall below a value of 1/1.5.
- cross-sections limited to 10 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
RS19 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.

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 technical department.

mode of installation
normally a open housing should be designed. the profile should not be snaped in, the spring may be damaged and a faultless function can not be ensured.
in special cases a snap-in installation is possible, therefore the housing has to be designed accordingly. the seal can only be held by a retaining housing step, having a width of 0.25·cs and a distinctive 30° chamfer, all edges must be rounded. the smallest possible diameter for such a snap- in installation is 10·cs.

seal & housing recommendations
please note that we are able to produce those profiles to your specific need or any non standard housing. for detail measurements, please see Jet seal pars catalog...
with PTFE materials, the profile size does not so much depend on the seal diameter but rather on pressure and extrusion gap. this relationship is described under “gap dimensions”. nominal widths not shown in the diagram can be interpolated if required.
the ratio between nominal width and seal height cs/H should not drop below 1/1.5. therefore we recommend the following housing heights.
cs = (ØD - Ød)/2 [mm] | L [mm] |

single acting
the RS 2931 seal is designed for use as a rod seal.
area of application: hydraulics
- valves and pumps in corrosive environment.
- chemical, pharma, and food industry.
- high temperature applications up to 200°C.
- slight pivoting or spiral movement allowable.
note
- expensive and complex desig
- 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.
function
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.
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 decreased leackage rates elastomer materials (polyure-
thane or rubber) in other sealing systems are to be preferred.
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.

machined only.
single acting
the RS 32 seal is designed for use as a rod seal.
area of application: hydraulics
- linearly acting rods on hydraulic cylinders; plunger in down and upstroke presses.
- spindle seal at valves (at fittings).
- cylinders with very long strokes,e.g. lifting ramps or hydraulic elevators.
note
- expensive and complex design.
- former designs mainly made in fabric reinforced rubber.replacing such fabric reinforced rubber seals by polyurethane seals will
reduce the lubricating film (attention in case of more sealing rings).
- reworked housings (changed cross-section) require adapted pressure and support rings made of plastic. if this is not possible (if pres-
sure and support rings are integrated in the housing), it is recommended to consult our technical department for clarification.

for detailed information regarding chemical resistance please refer to our „list of resistance“. for increased chemical and thermal resistance rubber
materials in other 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).
gap dimension
when using a pressure ring, the extrusion gap is already integrated in the seal. the gap between piston rod and housing should not exceed cs·0.05.
