Rolling diaphragm seals are ideal sealing devices for designing hydraulic or pneumatic systems used in harsh environments such as those utilized by automotive, aerospace, medical and food and water-processing industries. Made of fabric-reinforced molded elastomers, these sealing devices are versatile and tough, having the capacity to withstand pressures up to 6,000 per square inch. In addition, diaphragm seals are less prone to leaking and hysteresis as compared to other sealing devices., When pneumatic or hydraulic pistons repeatedly slide inside of cylinders, they rely on fluid power to transmit force. It's no secret that the total force couldn't be transmitted without a [...]

Factors to be considered in the proper selection of a seal include fluid pressure, friction, abrasion resistance, type of fluid, temperature during operation, physical features and cost. However, some seals which offer cost-effective price might not be durable. Durable seal, which also depends on the type of materials it is made of, is important to prevent leakage and unnecessary machining or installation costs., Sealing a fluid can be one of the most frustrating problems when designing a system. Here are some basic guidelines on how to specify high-performance seals. Sealing a fluid under [...]

Another innovation from BestPack is Tulips Agri 25, a custom case sealing tape which bonds more easily and prevents flaps from opening., Twin random-fill case tapers use exclusive flap closing technique to effectively seal cases of Dole's citrus fruits at up to 35/minute with less waste and downtime and without flaps flying, [...]

The proper selection of O-ring elastomeric seals should be based on careful evaluation of O-ring application and seal environment. The type of O-ring to be utilized depends on static or dynamic sealing applications. The O-ring seal should also coincide with the type of media to be sealed to prevent maintenance problems. The temperature, pressure and duration of service should also be considered when selecting an appropriate O-ring. The size of the O-ring should be calculated to eliminate the need for test runs., Even though O-rings have long been a widely used sealing solution, care must be taken to avoid some common pitfalls in selecting an O-ring for reliable service To many design [...]
