NMY-Type Piston Rod Seal

NMY Rod Seal

Overview
The NMY rod seal is a compact, two-part sealing system designed for high-performance hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. It combines excellent sealing efficiency with strong contamination exclusion in a space-saving design.

Key Features

  • Two-Component Design: Consists of a PTFE-based primary sealing ring and an elastomeric loading element (typically NBR).

  • Integrated Functions: Provides dynamic sealing, static sealing, and built-in scraper action in one unit.

  • Asymmetric Lip Profile: Features a low-friction primary sealing lip and an aggressive secondary wiper lip.

  • Pressure-Activated: System pressure energizes the seal via the elastomer, improving sealing force as pressure rises.

Function

  1. Seals system pressure during rod movement.

  2. Excludes dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the cylinder.

  3. Maintains a thin lubricating film for low friction and long life.

Typical Applications

  • Mobile and industrial hydraulic cylinders

  • High-pressure applications

  • Applications requiring reliable performance with minimal leakage

Advantages

  • Low friction and smooth operation

  • Excellent resistance to extrusion

  • Compact axial space requirement

  • Easy installation as a pre-assembled unit

Installation Notes

  • Install with the primary lip facing the pressure side and the wiper lip facing outward.

  • Requires a standard rectangular gland groove.

  • Hard chrome-plated rod with fine surface finish is recommended.

In summary, the NMY rod seal is a reliable, integrated sealing solution ideal for demanding rod sealing applications where performance, compactness, and durability are critical.
