- Helping to achieve fugitive emission reduction goals
- Meeting environmental regulation requirements
Some additional benefits of using our spring-energized sealing options include:
- Completely customizable components
- Seals, sealing elements, and configurations for broad pressure ranges
- Effective in sealing large extrusion gaps
- High-performance materials
- Available for rod and piston sealing
- Less friction in dynamic applications
- Materials lend seal to lower permanent set
- Lowered friction in dynamic application
Jacket Material Selection for Spring-Energized Seal Design
Material selection and compatibility are primary factors that contribute to excellent sealability. When designing a spring-energized seal for your application, our engineering staff chooses materials with physical attributes, performance properties, and performance characteristics specific to your application.
Evaluating the Environment
CDI design experts carefully assess all aspects of the application environment. The range of materials used in our spring energized seals allow for efficient use in applications with variations in temperature, pressure, and media. The result is a sealing solution capable of performing in dynamic, hostile environments where traditional elastomeric seals fail.
Energizer Material Selection
Characteristics such as load value, corrosion resistance, and deflection range are primary factors our engineers assess when selecting a spring for a given application. While spring energizers are among the most popular materials used in the energized seals we offer, elastomeric options such as custom o-rings are available upon request.
