PDF Type Piston Seal

The PDF-type piston seal is a high-performance composite sealing element engineered for demanding static sealing applications. Unlike conventional seals, the PDF series combines advanced materials with precision engineering to deliver exceptional performance in ultra-high-pressure hydraulic systems.

Composite Construction for Extreme Conditions

The PDF seal features a sophisticated design incorporating a metal washer with a mechanically bonded elastomeric sealing element. The elastomer is secured through serrated interlocking, creating a permanent bond that prevents shear damage even under prolonged compression. This robust construction ensures the seal remains intact and fully functional in the most demanding environments.

Engineered for Static Excellence

Designed specifically for static face sealing and bolt head applications, the PDF seal excels where conventional seals fall short:

  • Ultra-High Pressure Rating: Withstands pressures up to 1500 bar—far exceeding standard hydraulic requirements

  • Secure Installation: Provides reliable seating under bolt heads, ideal for applications with smooth bolt shanks or where installation requires passing over threads
