Glide Ring Piston Seals Materials: PS1400 and PS1600 - glass filled PTFE with round rubber O-ring energiser PS1500 - same size as PS1400 but molded from 60 Durometer polyurethane with a band of molybdenum molded into the OD to reduce friction PS1800 - glass filled PTFE with square section rubber O-ring energiser Applications: Glide Ring Piston Seals provide a low friction seal that can be installed in a space saving housing. They use standard O-ring energisers that allow a wide range of fluid and operating temperature compatibilities |
