Energy storage box sealing ring

Why should you choose a pan-plug seal & spring energy storage ring?

Choose a pan-plug seal & spring energy storage ring and enjoy a high quality sealing solution In today's competitive market, quality seals are the key to business success.

What is a continuous contact spring energized seal?

Continuous contact spring energized seals are primarily used where high radial load-ing is required for static and slow rotary applications. This design is best utilized in difficult static sealing applications such as gases, cryogenic temperatures, and vacuum.

Do you need a backup ring for a spring-energized seal?

If extrusion is the problem with a spring-energized seal, or you know that a seal design will run the risk of extrusion, then backup rings can be used to prevent extrusion. The use of backup rings not only extends the life of the spring-energized seal but reduces the probability of failure due to extrusion.

What is a spring energized seal?

Spring energized seals, used in both rotary and reciprocat-ing applications, cover a very broad range of pressure and velocity characteristics. These include various spring types (i.e., cantilever, helical, elliptical, and continuous spring) and materials used to satisfy the equipment operating parameters.

What is a backup ring?

Backup rings prevent the seal from extruding or deforming by reducing the extrusion gap on the low-pressure side of the seal but do not serve as a seal themselves. Materials used for BURs must be extrusion resistant themselves, which means they need to be hard.

What is a cantilever spring energized seal?

Cantilever spring energized seals are primarily used in highly dynamic applications for rotary and reciprocating equipment because the spring design allows for high deflection with minimal loading. This is the most popular series for spring energized seal designs due to its unique attributes, which help to maximize seal and hardware life.
