Spring-energized seal RP II

circularmetalelastomeric

Omniseal® spring-energized seals are composed of two precision parts: a polymer jacket and a corrosion-resistant, metal energizer spring. With an unlimited shelf-life compared to conventional seals, the seals provide improved performance over soft elastomeric seals and hard metal gaskets that typically fail. Engineered spring designs include: ribbon or helical seal design; cantilever or V-spring seal design; U-shaped seal design; and advanced pitch spring or coil seal design. Spring-energized seals are used in many critical industries and applications but what are these sealing solutions? Go here to read our blog! Our proprietary polymer, PFAS-Free* material, and Meldin® materials, which are used for the Omniseal® seal jackets, are made from high-performance resins that are compounded and processed for optimum performance in a wide variety of sealing environments. Over 500 in-house formulations have been developed by our experts and engineers resulting in precision sealing and material solutions that are unique to a customer's requirements and needs. The second critical part of an Omniseal® spring-energized seal is the spring, which provides permanent resilience to the seal jacket and compensates for material wear and hardware misalignment or eccentricity. When the spring is under compression, the jacket lips are forced against the gland walls and create a leak-tight seal. Spring loading can be design engineered to handle critical low friction requirements in dynamic applications or extreme high loading often required for cryogenic sealing.
