The Step seal is a preloaded combination seal, integrating a PTFE glide ring for dynamic sealing and an elastomeric O-ring for static sealing and energization. For optimal system performance, it is recommended to be used in conjunction with a double-lipped wiper seal.

Characteristics and Benefits:

Compact Groove Design: Minimizes the required installation space.

Minimized Friction: Provides extremely low breakaway and running friction, ensuring smooth movement even at low speeds and eliminating stick-slip.

High Durability: Excellent resistance to wear and extrusion extends service life under demanding conditions.

Optimized Oil Film Control: The unique seal profile ensures superior scraping efficiency and oil retention.

Broad Operational Range: Suitable for a wide spectrum of temperatures and media (requires selection of an appropriate O-ring material).

High-Pressure Resistance: Designed to perform reliably in high-pressure applications.

Large Size Availability: Manufacturable for large rod diameters up to 2500 mm.

Application Range:

This seal is extensively used in precision and heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, including those in control systems, servo mechanisms, machine tools, and construction machinery.

Installation Instructions:

1. The seal is generally installed by hand by compressing it into a kidney shape for insertion into closed grooves.

2. If installation tools are required, they must be made of soft, non-marring material and be free of sharp edges.

3. Prior to installation, the seal must be lubricated with a medium-compatible lubricant.
