CA3338673 333-8673 3338673 Piston Rod Seal U Cup Seal For Cylinder C-A-T E345

Description: Seal shape: U Cup seal

What is a rod seal?

   The rod seal is one of the most critical seals on any type of fluid power equipment. The rod seal prevents the

pressurized hydraulic fluid within the cylinder from leaking. Leakage can lead to reduced equipment performance,

system failure, and environmental/safety issues.

FAQ:

Q1: What is function of hydraulic seal ?

 A1: Hydraulic Piston seals prevent fluid from crossing the area of the piston head.

Rod seals ensure that fluid does not leak from the cylinder and adequate pressure is maintained.

Wiper seals are installed to prevent contamination from entering the hydraulic system.

A2: Which type of seals are used in hydraulic circuits?

Q2: This includes piston seals, rod seals, rotating seals, wipers/scrapers and oil seals. Piston seals prevent

pressurized fluid from leaking across the piston as the system pressure pushes the piston and rod assembly

down the cylinder bore. Rod seals hold pressure in the cylinder by preventing fluid from leaking out.

A3: What happens if hydraulic fluid leaks?

Q3 :Simply stated, if the oil can leak out past the seal, contaminants in the form of dust, dirt, water and chemicals can

enter the lubriC-A-Tion system, causing increased rates of wear through abrasion, scoring of moving parts, adhesion, fatigue and corrosion.
