Construction
These seals may be small in size, but their impact on the efficiency and safety of construction machinery is truly monumental.
Seals play a vital role in the world of construction equipment, acting as the unsung heroes that ensure smooth and efficient operation. These small yet mighty components are responsible for containing hydraulic fluids and preventing leaks, offering outstanding protection against dirt, debris, and harsh external conditions. Seals used in construction equipment are crafted with rugged durability in mind, designed to withstand high pressure, extreme temperatures, and heavy loads. Their precision engineering and impeccable performance guarantee the reliability and longevity of hydraulic systems, enhancing overall productivity and minimizing downtime. These seals may be small in size, but their impact on the efficiency and safety of construction machinery is truly monumental.
On construction equipment of all sizes there will be a range of different seals in use. One of the main key features when using any kind of seal is the lifespan of the seal. This is why identifying the correct type of seal, as well as the material needed, is extremely important. As making an incorrect seal could lead to massive failures which means a lot of downtime and potentially a big financial loss.
One of the most common types of seal used in construction is the O-Ring. Its job is to make sure that no fluids, like oil and other lubricants, leak outside of the application it is in. O-Rings can come in a wide range of sizes and materials to suit the application in need. They are usually made of elastomers that are resistant to grease, oil and other fluids that could be present, while also being resistant to certain chemicals and ozone.
A lot of the vehicles and equipment used in the construction industry require the use of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. This is why hydraulic and pneumatic seals are vital to keeping the equipment operational. These seals will be used in systems to prevent any contamination and leakage.
Custom turned seals are also available from us if we are unable to provide a seal straight from the shelf. These custom seals can be designed to your specifications whether its for a one off prototype or a long run of hundreds of seals. Just give our team a call and they will do what they can to help.
