Piston seals are critical components used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to prevent fluid leakage while allowing motion. Selecting the right material can significantly impact system efficiency and longevity.
The following table outlines essential properties of NBR, PTFE, Viton, and Polyurethane materials for quick reference:
| Material | Temperature Range (°C) | Hardness (Shore A) | Chemical Resistance | Wear Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NBR | -30 to +100 | 60-90 | Good | Moderate |
| PTFE | -200 to +260 | Shore D 50-60 | Excellent | Very High |
| Viton | -20 to +200 | 70-90 | Excellent | High |
| Polyurethane | -30 to +80 | 70-95 | Good | Very High |
Users often focus on the real-world performance of each seal material, including factors such as:
Battery Life: Efficiency and lifespan in dynamic applications.
Stability: Resistance to deformation under pressure and temperature fluctuations.
Advantages include good oil and fuel resistance, while disadvantages point to limited temperature range and wear resistance.
Advantages encompass wide temperature range and superior chemical resistance, with downside being higher costs and potential difficulty in installation due to low friction.
Benefits are excellent thermal stability and high strength, but the negatives include potential swelling in aromatic hydrocarbons.
Pros include outstanding wear resistance and elasticity, though cons could be limited range of chemical compatibility.
Understanding the ideal applications can guide your selection:
NBR: Recommended for hydraulic applications and moderate oil exposure.
PTFE: Best for high-temperature and corrosive environments.
Viton: Suitable for environments requiring high chemical resistance.
Polyurethane: Ideal for dynamic applications requiring high abrasion resistance.
In summary, the choice of piston seal material can have a profound impact on system performance. By understanding the characteristics and best applications of NBR, PTFE, Viton, and Polyurethane, you can make an informed decision for your specific needs.

Non-metal rollers refer to rollers made of non-metallic materials . Compared with traditional metal rollers, non-metal rollers have the advantages of flame retardancy, light weight, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and low noise, so they have been widely used in modern industrial production.
The cable clamp for coal mining machine is made of stamped steel plate as the skeleton and high-density polyethylene through injection molding.
There are a large number of flammable and explosive components such as gas dust in coal mines, and there are many metal equipment and instruments. When the equipment is moved and used, it is very likely to collide with the cable hook, which will produce sparks and lead to explosions.
The dustproof seal is a single-acting seal that is installed by extruding the outer diameter. It can effectively prevent dust and dirt from entering, and allow the residual oil to flow back.
The Y-ring is designed as a static seal for the cylinder, which can replace the traditional O-ring/retaining ring combination. Through its unique design and material, the allowable extrusion gap can reach 0.4mm at a pressure of 500bar.
Piston rod seal, double-lip design has better sealing effect, and polyacetal back-up ring is better under pressure.
The piston seal is a two-way seal, used in conjunction with two piston guide rings, and has a two-way sealing effect.
