Frequently Asked Questions: Radial Shaft Seals
Can you design seals for non-standard groove dimensions?
Yes. Our engineering team can design seals for non-standard groove widths, depths, and profiles. We use advanced CAD modeling and FEA analysis to ensure fit, compression, and sealing integrity, even in unconventional housings or retrofits.
How do you select the best elastomer for chemical compatibility?
We evaluate your full operating environment, including temperature, media exposure, cleaning chemicals, and mechanical stress. Using compatibility charts, lab data, and field experience, we recommend materials that balance performance, compliance, and service life.
What testing do you perform on custom seals before production?
Depending on application requirements, we can perform dimensional inspection, compression set testing, tensile strength testing, chemical immersion testing, and thermal cycling to validate seal performance before full production.
