Rod Seals
Dynamic and Static Sealing of the Piston Rod Towards the Cylinder
Rod seals are used for sealing of retracting and extending cylinder rods. This prevents the pressurized process media from escaping from the cylinder. In addition, the cylinder is reliably protected against dirt, dust or any fluids. Due to the wide range of requirements in hydraulic applications, such as pressure, pressure peaks, sliding speeds, temperatures, and process media, choosing the right rod seal is very important. The Dichtomatik product brand portfolio offers a wide range of elastomer and thermoplastic rod seals, such as the N, S, SNI, SDS, SPOR series. Typical applications for Dichtomatik rod seals are hydraulic cylinders in mobile hydraulics, agricultural machinery, construction machinery and presses.

Choose the Right Product
Out of Four Types
- N series: Symmetrical U-ring which can be used as piston or rod seal
- SNI series: Asymmetrical U-ring with inner dynamic sealing lip
- SPOR series: Combination of a PTFE-bronze sealing element and an O-ring (NBR) as pre-tensioning element
- S72: Wear and extrusion resistant TPU sealing element with a POM back-up ring
Please note that resistances, pressures and temperatures are mutually influenced by various parameters.

Rod Seals
The task of rod seals is to seal the piston rod as it moves in and out in order to prevent the pressurized media from passing out of the cylinder. The seal material and the profile of the rod seal must be selected to suit the application and conditions of use.
