KL118 Static Seal Performance
KL118 - STATIC SEAL Interchangeable For O-Ring And O-Ring With Back-Up Ring
The KL118 static seal is a high-performance double-acting sealing element manufactured from premium thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It is specifically engineered to provide superior extrusion resistance and a significantly longer service life compared to traditional o-rings and other elastomer static seals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main benefit of the KL118 seal over a standard O-ring?
The KL118 offers significantly higher extrusion resistance and a longer service life because it is made from high-grade thermoplastic polyurethane, which is more durable than standard elastomer O-rings.
Is this seal compatible with existing O-ring housings?
Yes, the KL118 is designed to be interchangeable with standard O-rings and O-rings with back-up rings, making it an easy upgrade for existing systems.
What is the maximum pressure rating for this hydraulic seal?
The KL118 hydraulic backup ring seal can withstand pressures up to 500 Bar, making it suitable for high-pressure industrial applications.
What temperature range can the PU material handle?
The seal operates effectively within a temperature range of -35°C to +110°C, covering most standard industrial and mobile machinery environments.
In which equipment is this static seal commonly used?
It is widely used in forklifts, standard industrial cylinders, mobile machinery, hydraulic presses, injection moulding machines, and cartridge valves.
Is the installation process complicated?
No, one of the key advantages of the KL118 design is its easy installation and the fact that it does not twist within the housing during setup or operation.
