Available for both rod and piston sealing applications; the T-Seal is designed to retrofit o-rings in no back-up, single back-up and two back-up, standard industrial reciprocating glands. The T-seal’s compact design provides improved stability and extrusion resistance in dynamic sealing applications.
The base of the T-Seal forms a tight seal in the gland and supports the back-up rings. When the seal is energised the back-up rings bridges the anti-extrusion gap to cover the rod sealing element from extrusion and system contamination. This eliminates the “spiral” or “twisting” seal failures that can occur when o-rings are used against a dynamic surface.
