Glyd Ring

O.D. Sealing

The Glyd Ring has successfully used for decades as a very effective and reliable low frictional seal. These are produced with an interference fit which together with the squeeze of the O-Ring ensures a good sealing effect even at low pressure. At higher system pressures, the O-Ring is energized by the fluid, pushing the Glyd Ring against the sealing face with increased force. The geometry of the Glyd Ring ensures a good static sealing and allows the lubricating hydrodynamic oil film to be built under the seal in reciprocating applications.

Advantages of Glyd Rings:

• No stick-slip effect when starting for smooth operation

• Minimum static and dynamic friction coefficient for minimum energy loss and operating temperature.

• Suitable for non lubricating fluids depending on seal material for optimum design flexibility.

• High wear resistance ensures long service life.

• No adhesive effect to the mating surface during long period of inactivity or storage.

• Suitable for most hydraulic fluids in relation with most modern hardware materials and surface finish depending on material selected.

• Suitable for new environmentally safe hydraulic fluids.

Applications:

• Injection molding machines

• Machine tools

• Presses

• Handling machinery

• Valves for hydraulic and pneumatic circuits

• Excavators and Forklifts

• Agriculture equipment

Material: Bronze (T46)

Used as a standard material for hydraulics, it offers high compressive strength, good sliding and wear properties, and good extrusion resistance. Typically a greyish to dark brown color.
