Introduction

AccuSeal is a manufacturer of PTFE based, spring energized seals and sealing systems. Some advantages of our PTFE compounds over standard elastomers include: lower friction for dynamic applications, greater media compatibility and a greater temperature range.

The purpose of this guide is to help select sealing solutions for specific applications. It will cover standard seal geometries for spring-energized seals and rotary lip seals.

Seals with spring energizers can be designed for static, reciprocating and slow to medium rotary service. Lip seal designs are reserved for high-speed rotary applications with low pressures where friction is a concern. No matter the system specifications, AccuSeal can provide the solution.
