Rod Seals
Rod seals are considered the most critical element of a cylinder sealing system.
Rod Seals prevent the leakage of fluid from within a hydraulic cylinder to the outside as the rod cycles back and forth (dynamic pressure sealing). Rod seals work together with wiper seals to protect a hydraulic system against external contaminants such as dirt and outside weather conditions.
Rod seals are static seals installed in the glands or housings. They maintain a seal with the piston rod in dynamic motion.
In heavier duty applications, a rod seal can be combined with a secondary buffer seal for a more robust sealing effect.

These include PTFE (Teflon) seals, U Seals, fabric Seals, V packs and application–specific designed seals made from high-performance elastomers and engineering plastic materials.
