Hydrodynamic Return Feed Spiral Groove
In case of higher sealing performance requirements to be met by PTFE
rotary shaft seals we recommend a spiral groove for hydrodynamic return
feed either on the shaft surface or in the sealing lip. In this case, only
one rotational direction of the shaft is permissible.

Guide rings and bands serve to prevent any contact of the

piston and/or rod with the cylinder wall in order to avoid subse-
quent damage to these parts. Usually, guides with straight or
scarf joints are used. The scarf joint is the most commonly used
joint.

Guide Rings and Bands

Guide Ring Versions

Straight Joint Scarf Joint Continuous Shouldered with

straight Joint

Guide rings with scarf joints provide the advan-

tage of fully running across the cylinder contact
surface, thus causing no “markings” on the
surface unlike the straight joint.

Guide rings with straight or scarf joints can only

be fitted if no more than 1/3 of the guide ring
width overruns the valve nests inside the cylinder.
If several valve nests are overrun, one-piece
shrink-fitted guide rings are used. Depending on
the respective application, piston guide rings
with axial and/or radial balancing grooves may
be used as well. The dimensions of the guide
ring depend on the particular application.

Type MRA and MRI are double-acting composite seals. They are primarily
used with alternating directions of pressure (e.g. piston seals).

Type SRI and SRA are single-acting composite seals. They have proven to
be particular effective for sealing piston rods. The sealing effect is
produced by the inherent preload of the PTFE profile ring vis-à-vis the rod
and the preload of the rubber-elastic O-ring in the groove area.
With rising system pressure the radial contact pressures increase as well.

R otary composite seals are particularly well suited for sealing rotating
shafts, such as in rotary transmissions, rotary distributors, rotary joints
and swiveling motors in mobile hydraulics and machine tools. A specially
designed slide ring based on PTFE or PE is pressed against the surface
by an elastomer O-ring and additionally activated by the system pressure.

 Benefits
• No stick-slip even with low sliding
speeds
• Extremely low breakaway forces
even after prolonged downtimes
• Low wear and long service life
• Good sealing performance due
to several sequentially located
sealing edges
• High operating reliability thanks
to multicomponent sealing kit
• Simple design of installation
spaces
• Very good chemical and thermal
resistance
• Extensive product line tailored to
field application requirements
• No special maintenance require-
ments

V-packings and V-packing kits are primarily used for sealing rods
subjected to axial motion. A packing kit consists of the number
of V-packings needed for the particular application requirements
as well as a base and end ring. In case there is a risk of gap
extrusion under high pressure loads, the base and end rings may
also be made of metallic materials. To achieve pre-defined
sealing forces and adjustment of the packing in case of thermal
expansion, installation of an axially acting spring (compression
spring or cup spring) is necessary.

Fields of Application Versions and Operating Limits (1)

• Equipment such as plunger piston pumps, HN 7001 and
metering pumps, hydraulic cylinders, control HN 7002 Sliding speed max 0.5 m/s �
and shut-off fittings and valve stems Temperature range –200 °C to +240 °C
• Industrial sectors, such as chemical, petro- HN 7001 Service pressure max 300 bar

tical, food processing, painting, steel, fittings

Design and Action Principle

Pre-Loading by Axially Acting Spring
Based on experience, the specific surface compres-
sion of both springs should be between 0.2 and
0.4 N/mm2.

With the slightly stiffer type HN 7001 it may be

necessary to increase preload to 0.8 N/mm2.

Fitting Instructions Surface Quality

• Always install packings with sealing lips
Dynamic Static
facing towards the pressure side contact groove base
• Spring is normally installed on the pressure surface/ diameter/
rod housing
side of the packing
Rz ≤ 1.0 µm ≤ 4.0 µm
• In case of aggressive media and installation Rmax ≤ 2.0 µm ≤ 10.0 µm
of the spring on the pressureless side, spring
compression must be adapted to the maximum Compounds
media pressure which might be generated On request, depending on application.
• Prior to fitting, the installation space of the
packing must be cleaned from dirt, swarf, etc.
• Rod and housing bore must be provided with
lead-in chamfers between 15° and 30° to
avoid damaging the sealing edges
