Trelleborg to showcase fluid power capabilites

29 March, 2018

Trelleborg says a new “best in class” seal for hydraulic cylinders with the ability to thrive in unforgiving conditions will be highlighted, as well as a design study on ‘Lubrication Management’ and the Zurcon Glyd Ring D piston seal has “leapfrogged” competitors thanks to its combination of performance and service life through optimised contact pressure and minimised heat generated from friction.

The company says the innovative design incorporates two special grooves in the D-shaped profile of the seal to sustain an oil film for sufficient lubrication of the seal against its counter surface, ensuring adequate friction.

The compact seal, which has been subjected to extensive laboratory testing and long-term field testing, was developed in response to increasing demands from high-pressure hydraulic applications. Machines, equipment and motors are now being fitted with more powerful hydraulic cylinders, subjecting the hydraulics to higher pressures and temperatures.
