Introduction
Parker Fluid Power Seals

Rod Seals
Rod Seals, which guard against external leakage, are one of the most
vital components of the sealing system. In recognition of their critical
nature, Parker is pleased to offer the most complete range of materials
and profiles in the industry. Our portfolio of advanced plastic, rubber
and PTFE materials delivers the highest performance in a wide variety
of rod seal applications. Cutting edge technologies include multiple
sealing lip systems, shock-load resistance, low friction and ultra-dry
capability.
Symmetrical Seals
With thousands of available size and material combinations, Parker
symmetrical profiles are designed to act as either rod or piston seals,
allowing one part number to function in two applications. Often copied
but never equaled, the PolyPak for hydraulic applications and the
8400 u-cup for pneumatic applications have revolutionized the fluid
power industry and become trusted standards. Symmetrical u-cups and
squeeze seals are available in a variety of lip shapes and materials.
Piston Seals
Our diverse product line of piston seal profiles suits a broad range
of hydraulic and pneumatic applications. Whatever the need, from
low pressure pneumatics to extreme hydraulic shock loading, Parker
has the solution. Profiles are available to meet the demands of unidirectional and bi-directional pressure, low friction, easy installation,
port passing, and zero-drift scenarios.
Wipers
Just as rod seals are designed to keep fluid in, Parker wipers perform
to keep contamination out. Wipers work in conjunction with rod seals to
form the first line of defense in protecting a system and keeping it free
from dirt, mud, water, and other contaminants. Incorporating the latest
technology in aggressive wiping lips and OD exclusion, Parker has
solutions in press-in, snap-in, and double lip profiles.

Introduction
Wear Rings and Bearings

Parker offers a complete line of wear rings and bearing products
to fit any application. The product offering meets the full spectrum
of needs, from heavy duty hydraulic cylinders operating under the
highest temperatures and pressures to pneumatic applications
requiring low friction, long life and self-lubrication. No matter what the
application demands, Parkers diverse bearing product line ensures that
performance requirements are met with maximized value.
Back-up Rings
Parker back-up rings offer simple solutions to safely increase system
pressure or solve an existing seal extrusion problem. Standard profiles
are available in a variety of materials to complement virtually any Parker
rod or piston profile.
Polyurethane O-rings, D-rings and Head Seals

Parker is pleased to offer the material advantages of the Resilon
family of high performance polyurethanes in standard and custom
o-ring sizes. With high temperature Resilon o-rings and D-rings, the
need for back-ups can be eliminated, simplifying installation and
reducing damage due to spiral failure. Static polyurethane head seals
are ideal for replacing o-rings and back-ups in hydraulic cylinder
heads, fool-proofing installation and eliminating failures due to back-up
pinching and blow-out.
Metric Seals
Preferred Profile rod, wiper, and piston seal designs are offered in
metric Parker Standard Sizes.

It is not uncommon for the requirements of a sealing system to fall into multiple duty columns. When this
situation occurs you should select the majority of your components from the higher range.
When selecting a wiper, focus on contamination section.
In selecting a sealing component you will evaluate the temperature, pressure and pressure spike variables of
the application. With a wear ring, you will want to look at the temperature and side loading section. This does
not preclude the need to consider such things as fluid being sealed and stroke speed.

Parker Fluid Power Seals for All Application
Technologies
Seals have been used since ancient times and have evolved into a
wide variety of shapes and materials. For those who are not familiar
with sealing technology, the number of options available can be
confusing. Selecting the most suitable product for a given application
can be difficult. This engineering section will assist in product selection
by explaining the fundamentals of seal design and material technology.

Extrusion.................................. 2-4
Sealing Theory
Seal Wear................................. 2-5
Static vs. Dynamic Sealing
Seal Stability............................ 2-6
Every seal, whether static or dynamic, must seal against at least

two contacting surfaces. In static applications, both surfaces are
non-moving relative to one another. In dynamic applications at least
one surface is in motion relative to the other sealing surface(s). For
example, in a standard hydraulic cylinder, the rod and piston seals
would be classified as dynamic seals, while the seal between the bore
and the head gland would be considered a static seal.

Installation
In both static and dynamic applications, a certain amount of squeeze

the sealing surfaces and prevent fluid leakage. Dynamic applications in
particular involve other variables and require that additional factors be
evaluated to ensure proper system performance. These variables are
discussed in this section.

Leakage Control
Lip vs. Squeeze Seals
When choosing a sealing system, the desired

result is ultimately leakage control. Seal design and
material improvements have made it possible not
only to have seal combinations that provide zero
leakage, but also provide extended life in a variety
of applications. Aside from the seals themselves,
a thorough understanding of system parameters is
necessary to obtain the best results.
The cross-sectional shape of a seal dramatically

affects how it functions, especially at low pressure.
The greatest trade-off in dynamic sealing is low
friction performance vs. low pressure sealability. At
low pressure, friction, wear and sealing ability are
affected by whether or not the seal is a lip or squeeze
profile (see Figure 2-3). With this in mind, seals are
often categorized as either lip seals or squeeze
seals, and many fall somewhere in between. Lip
seals are characterized by low friction and low
wear; however, they also exhibit poor low pressure
sealability. Squeeze seals are characterized by just
the opposite: high friction and high wear, but better
low pressure sealability.
Optimal sealing is best achieved by taking a

systems approach to the seal package rather than
considering components individually. Our profiles
have been designed specifically to complement
one another to create high performance systems.
For example, pairing a Parker rod seal with a Parker
wiper minimizes fluid leakage and maximizes
contamination exclusion. Our rod seals are designed
with knife-trimmed lips to ensure the best possible
film breaking. This dry rod technology permits
the wiper to be extremely aggressive, excluding
contamination without building up oil leakage around
the wiper. Another systems approach to effectively
control leakage is to incorporate multiple sealing lips.
Parkers BR buffer ring, BT u-cup and AH doublelip canned wiper are designed to work together to
give optimized performance and the driest sealing
available in the industry (see Figure 2-2).
Lip vs. Squeeze Seal

Decreasing Sealability
at Low Pressure
Increasing Friction
Figure 2-3. Lip seal vs. squeeze seal
As described above, a squeeze type seal will

generate much more sealing force than a lip type
seal. The assumption here is that both seals are
under zero or low pressure. However, as fluid
pressure increases, the differences between seal
types become insignificant due to the force from the
fluid pressure overcoming the designed squeeze.
Pressure generally improves leakage control, but
increases friction and its associated heat, wear and
potential for extrusion.
In pneumatic applications, low friction is of the
utmost importance. As such, lip seals are an
excellent choice for these low pressure applications.
Conversely, in hydraulic cylinders, where high system
pressures easily overcome frictional forces, squeeze
seals are often the appropriate choice. An example of
a hydraulic application in which a squeeze seal would
not be appropriate is a gravity returned hydraulic ram.
In this case, a lip type hydraulic seal would generate
lower friction, allowing the gravity return to function
properly.
Figure 2-2. BR, BT, AH sealing system for leakage control
Even when appropriate seals are specified, it is

still possible to experience leakage due to factors
extending beyond the seals themselves. Examples
are hardware considerations like surface finish,
installation damage, seal storage, chemical wash
downs, maintenance and contamination. Adhering
to the design recommendations found herein not
only for seals, but also for the mating hardware will
provide the greatest likelihood of minimized leakage.

Effects of Lip Geometries
Factors that affect the radial force are:

Pressure
Material modulus
Temperature
Lip geometry
Squeeze vs. lip seal
Lip geometry will determine several functions

of the seal. Force concentration on the shaft, film
breaking ability, hydroplaning characteristics and
contamination exclusion are all factors dependent
on lip shape. Table 2-1 shows four different lip
shapes and provides helpful insights for choosing an
appropriate lip geometry.
Factors that affect the coefficient of friction are:

Uses
Lowering friction increases seal life by reducing

wear, increasing extrusion resistance, decreasing
compression set and the rate of chemical attack.
Breakaway friction must be overcome for
movement to begin. It is influenced by the
duration in which an application remains
stationary. The longer the duration, the more
lubrication will be forced out from between
the seal and the contacting surface. The seal
material then conforms to the profile of the
surface finish. These events increase breakaway
friction.
Friction
Friction is a function of the radial force exerted by
the seal and the coefficient of friction between the
seal and the dynamic sealing surface. Reducing
friction is generally desirable, but not always
necessary.
Arrows represent radial forces
Friction is
undesirable
because of heat
generation, seal
wear and reduced
system efficiency.
Stick-slip is characterized by distinct stop-start

movement of the cylinder, and may be so rapid that
it resembles severe vibration, high pitched noise or
chatter. Seals are often thought to be the source of
the stick-slip, but other components or hardware can
create this issue.
Causes of stick-slip include swelling of wear
rings or back-up rings, extreme side-loading, valve
pulsation, poor fluid lubricity, external sliding surfaces
or seal pressure trapping. This condition can be
puzzling or difficult to resolve. Possible causes and
trouble-shooting solutions are listed in the following

clearance gaps increase, less pressure is required in

order for extrusion to occur. Higher temperatures can
also play a role in this effect by causing seal materials
to soften, encouraging extrusion at lower pressures.
If the seal material chosen is not suitable to be used
in the system fluid, softening due to chemical attack
can also decrease its ability to resist extrusion.
The following Table 2-3 lists possible causes of
extrusion and troubleshooting tips for preventative or
corrective measures.

Pressure Effects and Extrusion
Extrusion occurs when fluid pressure forces

the seal material into the clearance gap between
mating hardware. Dynamic motion further promotes
extrusion, as surfaces in motion tend to pull material
into the extrusion gap, generating additional frictional
forces and heat. This can cause premature failure
via several modes. Extruded seal material can break
away and get caught underneath sealing lips, creating
leak paths. As material continues to break away, seal
geometry erodes, causing instability and eventual
leakage. Additionally, heat generated from added
friction will cause the seals to take a compression set,
dramatically shortening their life.
Careful design

should be evaluated
to prevent extrusion.
For example,

a proper material

compound
Match seal compound for pressure, temperature and fluid
compatibility
By definition, the radial gap is one-half of the

diametrical gap. The actual extrusion gap is often
mistaken as the radial gap. This is too optimistic
in most cases because side loading of the rod and
piston will shift the diametrical clearance to one
side. Often, gravity alone is sufficient for this to
occur. Good practice is to design around worst case
conditions so that extrusion and seal damage do not
occur. Table 2-4 provides maximum radial extrusion
gaps for various seal compounds.
As a general rule of thumb, the pressure rating
of dynamic seals will be approximately one-half
that of static seals.

+160F (+70C). Lower temperatures will increase a materials

pressure rating. Higher temperatures will decrease pressure
ratings. Maximum radial gap is equal to the diametrical gap when
wear rings are not used. Wear rings keep hardware concentric,
but increase extrusion gaps to keep metal-to-metal contact from
occurring, thereby decreasing pressure ratings when used.
Factors that Influence Seal Wear
As noted in Table 2-4, pressure ratings decrease

when wear rings are used due to the larger
extrusion gaps required to eliminate metal-to-metal
contact. If wear rings are used, be sure to consult
Section 9 (Wear Rings) and Section 10 (Back-ups)
for appropriate hardware dimensions. Wear ring
hardware dimensions for the piston and rod throat
diameters always supersede those dimensions called
out for the seals themselves.
Seal Wear
Seals will inevitably wear in dynamic applications,

but with appropriate design considerations, this can
be minimized. The wear pattern should be even and
consistent around the circumference of the dynamic
lip. A small amount of even wear will not drastically
affect seal performance; however, if the wear patterns
are uneven or grooved, or if the amount of wear is
excessive, performance may be dramatically reduced.
There are many factors that influence seal wear, many

Cross-section (larger is better)
Design features of a seal (i.e. stabilizing lip, nonsymmetrical design). Figure 2-8 illustrates how
design features can make a seal more stable. In
the first FEA plot, the seal is centered in the gland
and does not incorporate a stabilizing lip. In the
second plot, the seal is loaded against the static
gland and includes a stabilizing lip. Stability has
been enhanced by the design changes.
Figure 2-6. Seal wear on dynamic surface
Seal Stability
Plot 1
Dynamic stability is integral to a seals performance,

allowing the lip to effectively contact the sealing
surface, eliminating rocking and pumping effects
and promoting an even wear pattern at the sealing
contact point. Instability can create leakage and seal
damage. A typical instability malfunction known as
spiral failure can occur when o-rings are used in
reciprocating applications. Due to frictional forces
that occur while the system is cycling, the o-ring will
tend to roll or twist in the groove, causing leakage
and even possible breakage. A square geometry
will tend to resist this better than a round profile, but
is not impervious to instability failure. Rectangular
geometries provide the best stability in dynamic
applications.
Plot 2
Figure 2-8. Design improvements for increased stability
Surface Speed
The surface speed of a reciprocating shaft can

affect the function of a seal. Hydroplaning and
frictional heat may occur with excessive speed, while
stick-slip, discussed previously in the friction section,
is most often associated with slow speed.
Hydroplaning occurs when hydrodynamic forces
lift the sealing lip off of the dynamic surface, allowing
fluid to bypass the seal. The lip geometry, as well as
the overall force on the lip, will influence its ability to
resist hydroplaning. Most hydraulic seals are rated
for speeds up to 20 inches/second (0.5 m/second),
but this may be too fast for certain lip geometries
or when the seal has a lightly loaded design. Table
2-1 on page 2-3 shows which lip geometries are
subject to hydroplaning. Straight cut and beveled
lip geometries are the most effective at resisting
hydroplaning so long as sufficient lip loading is
present to overcome the hydrodynamic forces.
Other less obvious factors that influence the

stability of a seal are:
Percent gland fill
Hardness or stiffness of the seal material
High surface speeds can create excessive

frictional heat. This can create seal problems when
the dynamic surface is continuously moving. The
under-lip temperature of the seal will become much
hotter than the system fluid temperature, especially
when the seal is under pressure. If the heat being
generated cannot be dissipated, the seal will
experience compression set, wear, extrusion and/or
increased chemical attack.

Compression Set
Compression set is the inability of a seal to return to

its original shape after being compressed. As defined
by ASTM, it is the percent of deflection by which the
seal fails to recover after a specific deflection, time
and temperature. Compression set is calculated
using the following equation:
Compression Set =

lips flare out very little.

HC = Compressed height
HR = Recovered height
Influence of Temperature
Compression set reduces sealing forces, resulting in

poor low pressure sealability. It takes place primarily
because of excessive exposure to a high temperature.
A materials upper end temperature limit may give
an indication of its compression set resistance.
Although compression set always reduces the seals
dimensions, chemical swell or shrinkage can either
positively or negatively impact the final geometry
of the seal. If material shrinkage occurs due to the
system fluid, the deflection of the seal will decrease,
accelerating leakage. If chemical swell is present,
it can negate or offset the negative effects of
compression set. While it is true that swelling can
offset compression set, extreme fluid incompatibility
can break down the polymers chemical structure and
cause the material to be reformed in its compressed
state. (See also page 3-9.)
Lip wear is also a dimensional loss, but is not

related to compression set. Dimensional loss due
to lip wear will increase the final compression set
value.
All seal materials have a specified operating

temperature range (see Section 3, Materials). These
temperatures are provided as guidelines and should
not be used as specification limits. It is wise practice
to stay well within this range, knowing that physical
properties are severely degraded as either limit is
approached.
Temperature affects extrusion, wear, chemical
resistance and compression set, which ultimately
influences the sealing ability of a product. High
temperatures reduce abrasion resistance, soften
materials, allowing them to extrude at lower
pressures, increase compression set and can
accelerate chemical attack. Low temperatures can
cause materials to shrink and harden, reducing
resiliency and sealability. Some of these problems
can be solved by using low temperature expanders
or metal
springs
as a
component
of the seal
selection
(see
Section 3,
Materials).

To obtain an
accurate surface
description, parameters such as Rp, Rz and Rmr
(tp) can be used to define the relative magnitude of
the peaks and the spacing between them. These
parameters are defined in Table 2-7, and their
combination can identify if a surface is too rough or
even too smooth for reciprocating applications.
Understanding and applying the benefits of

appropriate surface finish specifications can
dramatically affect the longevity of a sealing system.
In a dynamic surface, microscopic variations form
recesses which hold an oil film between the seal lip
and the moving surface. If the surface is too smooth,
friction and seal wear will be high because this oil
film will not be present. If the surface is too rough,
the variations will create leak paths and accelerate
lip wear. For these reasons, it is critical to have an
in depth understanding of surface finishes as they
pertain to dynamic sealing systems. As such, Parker
recommends following the guidelines for surface
finish as outlined below or conducting individual
testing for specific applications to validate seal
function and expected life.
Over the years, greater attention has been given
to this subject as realizations about warranty
savings and system life become more prevalent.
As equipment required to measure and maintain a
proper surface finish has evolved and improved, the
subject of surface finish has become more complex.
Traditional visual inspection gauges are no longer
sufficient to effectively measure surface finish.
Profilometers are now commonly used to achieve
precise measurements with repeatable results. In the
same way, the terms used to define a surface finish
have also advanced.
For many years, a single surface parameter has
often been used to quantify surface finish. RMS
(also known as Rq) stands for Root Mean Square and
has historically been the most typical value. In more
recent years, the Arithmetic Average Roughness, Ra,
has become more frequently specified. Using either
of these parameters by itself is inadequate to define
a proper reciprocating sealing surface. Figure 2-12
depicts why this parameter alone cannot accurately
describe a surface finish.
18 in Ra
There are other parameters that can be considered

for surface finish evaluation. For example, the
limitation of Rt is that it considers only one
measurement, while Rz, Rp and Rmr consider the
full profile.

Rp* Maximum profile peak height within a

sampling length. Also known as Rpm in ASME
B46.1 2002.
Ra = 8.9 in
Rp = 14.8 in (which is 1.7 x Ra, less than the 3x

Rv* Maximum profile valley depth within a

Rz* Maximum height of profile within a
sampling length (Rz = Rp + Rv).
NOTE: ISO 4287:1984, which measured five
peaks and five valleys within a sampling length, is
now obsolete. This value would be much lower
because additional shorter peaks and valleys
are measured. Over the years there have been
several Rz definitions used. Care needs to be
taken to identify which is used.
Figure 2-14 also illustrates how Rp and Rz are

calculated using the following equations:
Rp = Rp1 + Rp2 + Rp3 + Rp4 + Rp5

Rt Maximum height of the profile within the

evaluation length. An evaluation length is typically
five sampling lengths.
Rmr Relative material ratio measured at a given
height relative to a reference zero line. Indicates
the amount of surface contact area at this height.
Also known as tp (bearing length ratio) in ASME
B46.1 2002.
*Parameters are first defined over a sampling
length. When multiple sampling lengths are
measured, an average value is calculated, resulting
in the final value of the parameter. The standard

NOTE: In the profile shown in Figure 2-14, Rt = Rz2

because the tallest peak and deepest valley occur in
the same sampling length.
Figure 2-15 considers the same surface and
illustrates how the Rmr value of 74% is determined.
To accomplish this, locate the height of the curve at
5% material area (this is the reference line or zero
line). From this height, move down a distance of
25% Rz and locate the new intersection point along
the curve. This new intersection point is the actual
Rmr value of 74%.

Surface Finish Guidelines for

Reciprocating Seals
Recommendations for surface roughness are

different for static and dynamic surfaces. Static
surfaces, such as seal groove diameters, are
generally easier to seal and require less stringent
roughness requirements; however, the type of fluid
being sealed can affect the guidelines (see Table
2-8). It is important to remember that surface finish
recommendations will vary depending upon the seal
material of choice. PTFE seals require smoother
finishes than seals made from polyurethane and most
rubber compounds.
Four parameters have been selected to define a

proper surface finish for hydraulic and pneumatic
reciprocating applications. These parameters are
Ra, Rp, Rz and Rmr. For descriptions of these
parameters, please consult Table 2-8.
Grinding as a final process for dynamic sealing
surfaces is rarely sufficient. In order to obtain
an acceptable Rmr value, the surface must often
be ground and polished. If the surface is not
polished in addition to being ground, the ratio of
Rp and Rz to Ra will be too high or Rmr ratio too
low.

Surface Finish FAQs
How can a dynamic surface finish be too

smooth?
What is the difference between RMS (Rq)

and Ra?
There are two areas of concern that have been

observed on extremely smooth surfaces, the first
being seal wear, the second being leakage. When
surface finishes have been measured at or below
1 in Ra, an extremely accelerated seal wear rate
has been observed. A small jump to 1.8 to 2 in
Ra shows significant improvement, indicating that
the extremely low range should be avoided. With
higher values showing even greater life extension, the
optimal range for Ra has been determined to be 3 to
12 in.
RMS which stands for Root Mean Square (and

now known as Rq), is one way of quantifying the
average height of a surface. The Arithmetic Average,
Ra, quantifies the surface in a different manner,
providing a true mean value. These parameters will
almost always be different, but there is not an exact
relationship between the two for a typical sealing
surface of random peaks and valleys. If a surface
were to perfectly resemble a sine wave, the result
would place the RMS value 11% higher than Ra, but
this is not a very realistic scenario. On various ground
and polished surfaces, RMS has been observed to be
as much as 50% higher than Ra, but on average, runs
about 30% higher. If this 30% average difference is
applied to a 16 in RMS specification, the maximum
recommended value would be 12 in Ra.
Why are Rp and Rz specified as a function

of Ra, and not simply a range?
Take a shaft with the minimum recommended value
of Ra = 3 in, for example. Using the formula for Rz,
the maximum value would be calculated as 24 in
(8 x 3). If the requirement simply stated a range that
allowed Rz values up to 70 in, this large difference
indicates that the surface profile could have many
large, thin surface peaks which would abrade the seal
quickly. By the same regard, a maximum Ra value
of 12 in would result in an Rz value of 96 in (12
x 8), which is beyond the recommended maximum
value of 70 in. The same principle applies for Rp:
peaks should be removed to reduce seal wear via a
polishing process. Grinding without polishing can
leave many abrasive surface peaks.
Why is Ry (also known as Rmax) not used

in Parkers roughness specification?
Regarding leakage, some seal designs that function

well with 6 to 12 in Ra finishes begin to leak when
the finish falls below 3 in Ra. Due to technological
advances, there are many suppliers who manufacture
rods with finishes this smooth. It is always necessary
to validate seal performance, especially if using an
ultra-smooth dynamic surface.
When does a dynamic surface finish

become too rough?
Although it is possible for some seals to function
when running on rough finishes, there are always
concerns with accelerated wear and leakage control.
Certain seals have been able to function at 120 in Ra
finishes for short periods of time, but seal life in these
cases can be reduced up to five or six times. On the
contrary, some seals have failed at surface finishes
as low as 16 in Ra when pressure was insufficient
to effectively energize the sealing lips as they
rapidly wore out. Even though a rough finish is not
a guaranteed failure mode, it is always best to stay
within the recommended specifications. Remember
that a proper finish also meets the recommendations
for Rp, Rz and Rmr listed in the surface roughness
guidelines.
Ry only provides a single measurement (a vertical

distance from one peak to valley) within the whole
evaluation length. In actuality, there may be several
peaks and valleys of similar height, or there may only
be one large peak or valley. Rp and Rz provide much
more accurate results, showing the average of five
peak to valley measurements (one measurement in
each of the five sampling lengths). Furthermore, ISO
4287:1997 and ISO 4288:1996 standards no longer
incorporate the use of Ry.

Installation
3. Lubrication. Both the seal and its installation

path must be lubricated prior to insertion. The
lubricant should be selected for its compatibility
with the seal compound and the working fluid
it will later encounter. Often, the working fluid
itself can be used as the lubricant (see Table
2-9).
Considerations
Click to Go to
SECTION
Table of Contents
Installation techniques may vary considerably

from case to case, depending on whether a seal is
being replaced as a maintenance procedure or being
installed in the original manufacture of reciprocating
assemblies. Variations also arise from differences
in gland design. A two-piece, split gland design,
although rarely used, poses fewer problems than a
snap-in groove positioned deep inside the body
of a long rod gland. In production situations, or
where frequent maintenance of similar or identical
assemblies is performed, it is customary to utilize
special tools to permit fitting a seal into its groove
without overstressing it or subjecting it to nicks and
cuts during insertion.
Table 2-9. Seal Installation Lubricants

Temp.
Range
F (C)
Type
The common issues associated with all installation

procedures are:
1. Cleanliness. The seal and the hardware it
must traverse on its way into the groove, as well
as the tools used to install the seal, must be
cleaned and wiped with lint-free cloths.
2. Nick and Cut Protection. Threads, sharp
corners and burrs can damage the seal. Care
should be taken to avoid contact with these
surfaces. Burrs must be removed, sharp corners
should be blunted or radiused, and threads
should be masked or shielded with special
insertion tooling (see Figure 2-16). Although it is
good practice to take extra care in the handling
and manipulation of the seal, this is seldom
sufficient and it usually requires either a safety
tool or masking to protect the seal against such
damage.

4. Lead-in Chamfer. A generous lead-in chamfer

will act as a guide to aid in seal installation. With
the proper lead-in chamfer, the seals can be
installed without lip damage. Refer to Figure

lead-in chamfer dimensions.

5. Heating. Where harder or fabric-reinforced

compounds are used in snap-in applications,
elasticity of the seal may fall short of that
required for stretching or compressing onto
(or into) the groove. Since seal compounds
characteristically exhibit a high thermal
coefficient of expansion, and tend to soften
somewhat when heated, it is sometimes
possible to soak the seals in hot lubricant
to aid installation. Be sure to observe the
compound temperature limits, and avoid heating
the seals while stretched. Heating a seal while
stretched will invoke the Gow-Joule effect and
actually shrink the seal.
6. Cross Section vs. Diameter. Care must be

taken to properly match a seals cross-section
to its diameter. If the cross-section is too large
in relation to the diameter, it will be difficult
to snap-in or stretch the seal into the groove.
This condition is typically only associated with
polyurethane, Polymyte and other high modulus
materials. The data shown in Table 2-10 may be
used as a guide to determine this relationship for
ease of installation.

7. Installation Tools. Use installation tools as

recommended (see pages 2-16 and 2-17).
8. Itemize and Use a Check List. All components
required to complete a sealing assembly
should be itemized and checked off as they are
installed. The absence of any single component
can cause the entire system to fail.

Installation Tools
Piston Seals
The installation of piston seals can

be greatly improved with the use of
installation tooling. Tooling not only
makes the installation easier, but also
safer and cost effective for high volumes
as seals are less likely to be damaged
when using proper tooling. For piston
seal installation using tooling, use the
following steps:
1. Inspect all hardware and tooling for
any contamination, burrs or sharp
edges. Clean, debur, chamfer, or
radius where necessary. Make
sure the piston and groove are
undamaged.
6. If back-up rings are to be used, install split versions into their

proper location or use the mandrel method in Step 5 for nonsplit rings.
7. For PTFE cap seals, slide the resizing tool over the seal to
compress the seal to its original diameter (Figures 2-20, 2-21).

Installation Tools Rod Seals

Many rubber, plastic and PTFE rod
seals can be manipulated by hand for
installation into the seal groove. Small
diameter parts or parts with large cross
sections may require a two piece (split)
groove for installation. Special tooling
can be utilized to help the installation
process; however, PTFE and Polymyte
seals in particular require caution to
ensure the sealing component is not
nicked, dented or damaged. The
following guidelines provide the steps
for proper rod seal installation. If
needed, please call your local Parker
representative for recommendations.
Seal normal state
Seal folded state
Figure 2-22. Rod seal folding
1. Inspect all hardware and tooling for

any contamination, burrs or sharp
edges. Clean, debur, chamfer or
radius where necessary. Make
sure the bore, groove and rod are
undamaged.
2. If using a two-piece, energized cap
seal, first carefully install the o-ring
or rubber energizer into the groove
to ensure proper seating.
3. By hand, gently fold the seal into
a kidney shape (Figure 2-22) and
install into the groove. For rubber
and polyurethane seals, the use of
a three-prong installation tool can
be helpful for folding the seal and
installing it into the groove (Figure
2-23).
4. Unfold the seal into the groove,
and using your finger, feel the
inside diameter of the seal to make
sure it is properly seated.

Housing
5. For PTFE seals, after unfolding the

seal in the groove, use a resizing
tool (Figure 2-24) to re-expand the
seal.

6. If a back-up ring is to be used

with the rod seal, position the
seal toward the internal side of
the groove to allow space for the
back-up ring installation.

Finite Element Analysis
Precise material characterization is an essential

component of accurately modeling elastomeric
products with FEA. Due to the complex nature of
elastomers, multiple tests must be performed in
order to determine their behavior under stress and
strain. Figure 2-26 shows the typical nonlinear
stress-strain curves for elastomers compared to the
linear property of steel. These nonlinear complexities
make performing FEA for elastomers much more
difficult than for metal materials. Advances in
material characterization are continually being
made to improve the ability to capture and predict
thermoviscoelastic effects of elastomers.
Figure 2-25.
2500
Stress (psi)
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful

computer simulation tool that allows engineers
to evaluate product designs and materials and to
consider what if scenarios in the development
phase. FEA helps minimize time and cost by
optimizing a design early in the process, reducing
pre-production tooling and testing. Within the
simulation program, the product being evaluated is
divided into finite elements, and model parameters
such as pressure and seal lip squeeze are defined.
The program then repeatedly solves equilibrium
equations for each element, creating an overall
picture of seal deformation, stress and contact forces
(see Figure 2-25). These results can then be linked to
application testing to predict performance.

Thermoplastics
All thermoplastics are resins designed to soften

and melt when exposed to heat. Utilizing an injection
molding process, thermoplastics are melted at high
temperature and injected into the mold. It is then
cooled causing the plastic to solidify. If high heat
is introduced again, the molded part will melt. The
molecules of thermoplastics are held together by
physical bonds rather than chemical bonding.
Elastomers Polyurethane (TPU)

Polyurethanes exhibits outstanding mechanical
and physical properties in comparison with other
elastomers. Specifically, its wear and extrusion
resistance make it a popular choice for hydraulic
applications. Its temperature range is generally -65F
to +200F (-54C to +93C), with some compounds,
such as Resilon 4300 having higher temperature
ratings up to +275F (+135C). Polyurethanes are
highly resistant to petroleum oils, hydrocarbon
fuels, oxygen, ozone and weathering. On the other
hand, they will deteriorate quickly when exposed
to acids, ketones and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Unless specifically formulated to resist hydrolysis
(Resilon 4301), many types of polyurethanes are
sensitive to humidity and hot water. Other acronyms
polyurethane may be known by are AU, EU, PU, and
TPU or may simply be known as urethanes. For
typical physical properties, see Table 3-1 on page
3-11.

some phosphate ester and chlorinated fluids,
common solvents and water below +180F. It is
not compatible with cresols, phenols, and highly
concentrated acids. Due to its higher hardness
and modulus, seals made from this material can be
difficult to install. Also, care must be taken not to
damage the seal lips during assembly into the gland.
UltraCOMP engineered thermoplastics are

semicrystalline materials manufactured for extreme
temperatures, chemicals and pressures. Their
excellent fatigue resistance and stability in high
temperature environments make them the material
of choice where other materials fail. With a melt
temperature of over +600F, UltraCOMP can be used
at continuous operating temperatures of -65F up
to +500F. Superior strength and wear resistance
properties make it an ideal alternative to metal or
metal alloys in applications where weight, metalto-metal wear or corrosion issues exist. Such
capabilities translate into reduced equipment down
time and increased productivity. For example,
UltraCOMP back-up rings exhibit optimum strengthflexibility for ease of installation and high tensile
strength properties for premiere extrusion resistance.
UltraCOMP is available in molded geometries and
machined geometries.

Engineered Resins
Engineered resins such as Nylons and PEEK,
sometimes called hard plastics, are generally
categorized as compounds with hardness measured
on the Rockwell M or R scale. These compounds
exhibit high tensile and compressive strength and are
typically used in wear rings for bearing support and in
auxiliary devices for extrusion resistance. For typical
physical properties, see Table 3-2 on page 3-12.

compound is subjected to pressure and heat.
During this process, or cure, special chemical
agents within the compound react to the heat and
pressure to vulcanize the molecules together. Once
cured, thermoset compounds obtain the necessary
physical properties needed to function in fluid sealing
applications. Reheating thermoset compounds will
not cause them to melt as thermoplastics do. For
typical physical properties, see Table 3-3 on page
3-14.

Nitrile (NBR)
Nitrile rubber (NBR) is the general term for
acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer. Nitrile compounds
offer good resistance to abrasion, extrusion, and
compression set. The acrylonitrile (ACN) content
influences the physical properties of the compound.
As the ACN content increases, oil and solvent
resistance improve, tensile strength, hardness and
abrasion resistance increase, while permeability,
low temperature flexibility, and resilience decrease.
Parker offers a variety of nitrile compounds,
formulated with varying ACN content, to provide
the best physical properties for a wide range of
applications. Typical temperature ratings are -40F to
+250F (-40C to +121C).

Fluorocarbon Elastomers (FKM)
PTFE
Fluorocarbon elastomers are highly specialized

polymers that show the best resistance of all rubbers
to chemical attack, heat and solvents. FKM is of
critical importance in solving problems in aerospace,
automotive, chemical and petroleum industries. FKM
is suitable for use in most hydraulic fluids except
Skydrol types and ester-ether fluids. Standard
temperatures range from -20F to +400F (-29C to
+204C).
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) offers the following

characteristics over thermoplastic and thermoset
compounds, making it a unique problem solving
solution for sealing applications:
Low coefficient of friction
The low coefficient of friction (.06) of PTFE
material results from low interfacial forces
between its surface and other materials that
come in contact. This behavior of PTFE material
eliminates any possibility of stick-slip effects in
dynamic sealing applications.
Wide temperature range
PTFEs high melting point and morphological
characteristics allow components made from
the resin to be used continuously at service
temperatures to +600F (+315C). For sealing
cryogenic fluids below -450F (-268C), special
designs using PTFE and other fluoropolymers are
available.

Typical Physical Property

Information
There are six significant typical physical properties

that affect seal performance. It is important to
understand how the physical properties of a
compound relate to each sealing application and to
know that the fluid being sealed may change these
original characteristics. The six critical properties
identified below each show detail concerning
their impact on sealing as well as measurement
techniques.
1 Hardness
Hardness, also referred to as durometer, is a
property frequently associated with extrusion
resistance when exposed to pressure (see Table 2-4
on page 2-5). It is not a good indication of extrusion
resistance when comparing different material
classifications. For example, a polyurethane and a
nitrile compound with the same hardness will not
share the same extrusion resistance. Hardness also
relates to low pressure sealability, since the ability of
a seal to conform to a mating surface depends, to
a high degree, on the hardness of the material. The
harder a material, the less it will conform to a sealing
surface at low pressure. As hardness increases,
modulus and compressive strengths typically increase
as well. This means that harder seals are typically
more difficult to install and often have greater friction.
Hardness is measured by how easily a specified
surface is deformed by an indenter. Shore A and
Shore D are the two most common scales for
seal materials. Both scales use a rounded indenter
to impact the surface being measured. Shore A is
typically used to measure softer materials, while
harder materials are measured on the Shore D scale.
Although the Shore A scale has a max value of 100, it
is recommended to switch to the Shore D scale past
95 Shore A. These two scales overlap one another as
shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6. Hardness Scale Comparison Between Shore A,

Shore D, and Rockwell R
informational purposes is the International Rubber

Hardness Degree (IRHD), as described in ASTM
1414/1415, Din 53519, and ISO 1400/1818. The
IRHD and Shore methods do not provide comparable
values and should not be used to relate one material
to another.
2 Modulus
Modulus is truly what gives a seal material its
extrusion resistance. It is a measure of the force
required to stretch an elastomer a certain percentage
of its original length. Modulus of a material can
more simply be thought of as its stiffness and is
also an indication of the ease of installation. Higher
modulus materials resist stretching and compression,
increasing installation difficulty. (ASTM method D412)
Standardized test methods for this physical

property are ASTM 2240 and DIN 53505, which
corresponds to ISO 48. This test procedure has a
repeatability of 5 points, because its accuracy is
dependent on the flatness of the specimen and the
skill of the technician. For this reason, measuring
material hardness on a seal itself, with its irregular
surface, is discouraged and can only be used with
caution as a relative value.
3 Ultimate Tensile Strength

Ultimate tensile strength is closely related to wear
resistance, toughness and therefore service life of the
seal. This property is the amount of force required
to reach ultimate elongation, physically breaking the
material. Polyurethane and filled PTFE compounds
generally have very high tensile strength, providing
the associated excellent tear and abrasion resistance.
Most rubber compounds have much lower tensile
strength values, often resulting in one fifth the wear

is seldom used and is only presented here for

Materials
Elongation is also a good indicator of chemical

compatibility. If changes are observed after a material
sample is soaked in a fluid, it is possible that the seal
is being adversely affected. In this situation, the fluid
will typically attack and break the polymeric chain,
reducing the ultimate elongation. (ASTM method
D412)
5 Resilience
Resilience, also known as rebound, strongly
correlates to how quickly a seal will respond to
changing conditions in a dynamic environment. This
property measures the ability of a material to return to
its original shape after being deformed, as well as the
speed at which it can achieve this.
Examples of conditions that require seals to exhibit
excellent resilience are out-of-round cylinders and
rapid side loading situations that cause the rod
to move sideways quickly. Applications with high
vibration or high stroke speed can also benefit from
high resiliency seals. (ASTM method D2632, DIN
53512)
Figure 3-7. Modulus of Elasticity
Figure 3-8. Tensile Strength
life of higher tensile materials. (ASTM method D412

and DIN 53504) It should be noted that values
obtained from the DIN standard are typically higher
than those from the ASTM standard as there is a
difference in the test specimen and the pull rate.
Figure 3-9. Rebound Resilience
6 Compression Set
Compression set is the inability of a seal to return
to its original shape after being compressed. It
is associated with a sealing materials long-term
memory and is considered to be one of the most
critical properties of the seal. For a seal to maintain
radial pressure and establish a continuous sealing
line, it must resist stress relaxation during the time
and at the temperature to which it is exposed. As
the seal begins to take a compression set, it loses
4 Ultimate Elongation
Ultimate elongation is most closely associated
with installation, but can also be a good indicator of
chemical compatibility. This property is the distance
a material will stretch before breaking, expressed
as a percentage of its original length. It can be
important in small diameter seals because it can
limit the amount of stretch available for installation.

its inherent ability to seal and may require other

influences to maintain a positive sealing force.
Examples of such factors would be system pressure
or an expander working to energize the sealing lips.
The lowest possible compression set value is always
advantageous because it represents the least amount
of lost sealing force over time.

Parker Materials Typical Physical

Properties
Typical physical properties for Parker fluid power
product materials are shown in the corresponding
tables:
As defined by ASTM, compression set is the

percent of deflection by which the seal fails to recover
after a specific deflection, time and temperature (see
Figure 3-10). When comparing compression set
values between two materials, it is important to note
both the time and temperature of the tests being
compared. Even though a typical compression set
value is based on a 70 hour period, many times a 22
hour period may be used for time and convenience
sake. A 22 hour compression set value will always be
dramatically better than that of a 70 hour test under
the same temperature condition. It is also important
to know that each elastomer family is generally tested
at a different temperature or series of temperatures.
Be sure that the temperatures of the test data closely
approximate the temperature the seal will be used in.

Note: We emphasize that this tabulation should be used as a guide only.

The above data is based primarily on laboratory and service tests, but does not take into account all variables that can be encountered in
actual use. Therefore, it is always advisable to test the material under actual service conditions before specifying. If this is not practical,
tests should be devised that simulate service conditions as closely as possible.
Parker also offers unique material blends and recipes along with a wide variety of other PTFE filler combinations and colors to enhance
seal performance in the most extreme application needs. For guidance on material selection for extreme applications, please contact

Chemical Compatibility
Storage and Handling
It is essential to select seal compounds that are

compatible with the environment in which they are
used. Even if the proper seal material is chosen
based on system temperature and pressure,
exposure to certain fluids can drastically reduce
seal performance by altering a compounds typical
physical properties.
In 1998, the Society of Automotive Engineers

(SAE) issued an Aerospace Recommended Practice
(ARP) for the storage of elastomer seals and seal
assemblies prior to installation. ARP 5316 has
been considered by many as the industry standard;
however, Parker has taken a conservative approach
to ensure to our customers the highest quality. Both
the ARP 5316 and Parker standards for shelf life are
shown below in Table 3-8.
Parker has tested thousands of fluids and is

continuously testing many new, popular chemicals
to ensure seal material compatibility. For detailed
reports regarding compatiblity of common seal
materials and popular test fluids, please contact
your local Parker Engineered Materials Group
representative.

When selecting a seal material, temperature is a key

factor. Heat affects the seal material in several ways:
Fluorocarbon
Softens the material which accelerates wear

Accelerates any chemical reaction between the
fluid and the seal
Damages the bond structure of the material
Increases compression set
Higher temperatures for extended periods of time
may harden thermoset (rubber) materials
Lower end temperature may be as important as
the upper end temperature. This is especially true in
mobile hydraulics. As the temperature lowers, the
following takes place:
The seal hardens and is less responsive.
The coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction is approximately ten times that of metals.
Therefore the seal lips could start to pull away
from the surface of the bore. This loss of lip
compression against the colder sealing surfaces
can be offset by seal design and proper material
selection.
The opposite is also true. As a bearing or wear
ring heats up, binding can occur if there is not a
gap designed into the wear ring.
Nitrile
Polyurethane
The values above assume that proper guidelines

for storage conditions are followed. If plastic and
rubber products are stored improperly, their physical
properties may change. Prior to use, all parts should
be checked for hardness, surface cracking or peeling.
If any of these conditions are observed, the parts
should be discarded. Some compounds can exhibit
a build-up of powdery film on their surface over time.
This natural occurrence is referred to as bloom and
does not in any way negatively impact the function
of the seal. Guidelines for proper seal storage are
shown in Table 3-9, page 3-21.

Table 3-9. Seal Storage and Handling Guidelines

Seal Storage and Handling Guidelines
Records
Records should be kept to ensure that stock is rotated such that the first seals in are the first
out (FIFO).
Temperature
Seals must be stored away from heat sources such as direct sunlight and heating appliances. Maximum storage temperature is +100F (+38C). Low temperatures do not typically
cause permanent damage to seals, but can result in brittleness, making them susceptible
to damage if not handled carefully. Ideally, seals should not be stored at temperatures less
than +50F (+10C) and should be warmed to room temperature before installation.
Ultra Violet
Seal must be protected from direct sunlight and any artificial light that generates ultra violet
radiation.
Humidity
Care should be taken to ensure seals are always stored in an environment with a relative
humidity of less than 65%. Polyurethane seals in particular are very susceptible to damage
from exposure to moisture and should be stored in air-tight containers.
Oxygen and Ozone
Ozone-generating equipment and oxygen exposure can be detrimental to seal compounds.

Seals should be stored in air-tight containers. Any electrical equipment that generates a
spark should not be used near seal storage.
Contamination
Keeping seals free from contamination will assist promote service life. Good housekeeping
practices should be maintained.
Distortion
Large seals should be stored flat when possible and not suspended, which may cause
distortion over time. Do not store seals on hooks, nails or pegboard.

This section illustrates Parkers

recommended sealing system
for various types of fluid power
applications. Each components
individual features as well as
the collective functions of all
components in the system are
taken into consideration in each
recommendation.
Rod Seal Rod seals are typically uni-directional seals. They are
static on the outer diameter and dynamic on the inner diameter.
These seals are installed into female glands on the bore and are used
to seal fluid on a reciprocating rod. Rod seals can be loaded with
energizers for low pressure sealing.
Buffer Seal A buffer seal is a compact rod seal with a thick
dynamic lip that is placed in front of a standard rod seal. The buffer
seal shields the primary rod seal from pressure spikes, dramatically
increasing seal efficiency. Buffer seals are designed to allow trapped
fluid pressure between the buffer seal and primary rod seal to bleed
back into the system.
Wiper A wiper is designed to exclude contamination like dust and/
or water from entering the system. Contamination causes 75% of
hydraulic failures.

Piston Seal A piston seal may provide uni-directional (singleacting), or bi-directional (double-acting) sealing. It is static on the
inner diameter and dynamic on the outer diameter. These seals are
installed on pistons that reciprocate along a bore of a cylinder.
Wear Ring A wear ring prevents metal to metal contact caused by
side loading in reciprocating applications; wear rings can be located
inside the rod gland and/or on the piston.

BD Profile
Preferred Profile
BD Profile, Premium O-ring Energized Lip Seal

The BD profile is a non-symmetrical profile rod seal. Its rectangular
shaped cross section ensures stability in the gland. The o-ring
energizer functions as a spring to maintain sealing contact under low
pressure or vacuum applications. The knife trimmed, beveled lip does
an excellent job wiping fluid film. A stabilizing lip is located below the
primary sealing lip, just above the base of the seal, to provide enhanced
sealing performance and ensure a tight, stable fit in the gland. Available
in Parkers proprietary urethanes, the BD profile provides long life,
extrusion resistance, low compression set, shock load resistance and
increased sealing performance at zero pressure. The BD profile is
designed to be used as a stand alone rod seal or for use with the BR or
OD profile buffer seal for more critical sealing applications.

Rod Seal
BD Profile
Preferred Profile
BD Profile, Premium O-ring Energized Lip Seal With

Back-up Ring
For enhanced extrusion protection, Parker offers the BD profile with a
positively actuated back-up ring located in the heel. See part number
nomenclature for designating this option.
The BD profile is a non-symmetrical profile rod seal. Its rectangular
shaped cross section ensures stability in the gland. The o-ring
energizer functions as a spring to maintain sealing contact under low
pressure or vacuum applications. The knife trimmed, beveled lip does
an excellent job wiping fluid film. A stabilizing lip is located below the
primary sealing lip, just above the base of the seal, to provide enhanced
sealing performance and ensure a tight, stable fit in the gland. Available
in Parkers proprietary urethanes, the BD profile provides long life,
extrusion resistance, low compression set, shock load resistance and
increased sealing performance at zero pressure. The BD profile is
designed to be used as a stand alone rod seal or for use with the BR or
OD profile buffer seal for more critical sealing applications.

Rod Seal
BT Profile
Preferred Profile
BT Profile, Premium U-cup Rod Seal

with Secondary Stabilizing Lip
The BT profile is a non-symmetrical design for use in hydraulic rod
sealing applications. Using Finite Element Analysis, the BT profile was
designed to provide improved sealing performance and stability in the
gland. A knife trimming process is used to form the beveled lip which
is best for removing fluid from the rod. By design, the BT profile has a
more robust primary sealing lip than the BS profile and the stabilizing
lip is located at the base of the heel. The standard compound for the
BT profile is Parkers proprietary Resilon polyurethane compound. The
BT profile provides long life, extrusion resistance, low compression
set, shock load resistance and increased sealing performance at zero
pressure. The BT profile is designed for use as a stand alone rod seal
or for use with the BR or OD profile buffer seals for more critical sealing
applications.

Rod Seal
BR Profile
Preferred Profile
BR Profile, Premium Buffer Seal

The BR profile is a compact rod seal designed to act as a buffer seal
for the primary rod seal. As a buffer seal, the BR profile provides the
majority of the rod sealing performance while allowing fluid to bypass
and energize the primary rod seal. Fluid located between the BR profile
and the rod seal will relieve back into the cylinder by flowing past the
BR profiles flexible static side lip and slotted pedestals. This relieving,
or check valve function, allows the BR profile and primary rod seal to
work as a sealing system without danger of developing a pressure trap.
As a sealing system, the BR profile and primary rod seal provide optimal
performance in the most difficult applications.

B3 Profile
B3 Profile, U-cup Rod Seal

The B3 profile is a non-symmetrical design for use in hydraulic
rod sealing applications. The diameter of the B3 profile is designed
to ensure a tight static side seal when installed. The knife trimmed,
beveled lip does an excellent job wiping fluid film. The B3 profile is
available in Parker proprietary compounds offering extrusion resistance,
long wear, and low compression set. The B3 profile is designed for
use as a stand alone rod seal and can be used with Parkers BR or OD
profile buffer seals for more critical sealing applications.

Rod Seal
BS Profile
BS Profile, U-cup Rod Seal

The BS profile is a non-symmetrical profile designed for use in
hydraulic rod sealing applications. The knife trimmed beveled sealing
lip does an excellent job wiping fluid from the rod. In addition, a
secondary stabilizing lip is located just above the base of the seal to
provide enhanced sealing performance and ensure a tight, stable fit
in the gland. Available in Parker proprietary urethanes, the BS profile
provides long life, extrusion resistance, low compression set, shock
load resistance and increased sealing performance at zero pressure.
The BS profile is designed to be used as a stand alone rod seal or
for use with the BR or OD profile buffer seals for more critical sealing
applications.

E5 Profile
E5 Profile, Rounded Lip Pneumatic U-cup Rod Seal

Parkers E5 profile is a non-symmetrical rod seal designed to seal
both lubricated and non-lubricated air. To ensure that critical surfaces
retain lubrication, the radius edge of the lip is designed to hydroplane
over pre-lubricated surfaces. The standard compound for the E5 profile
is Parkers proprietary Nitroxile extreme low friction ("ELF") compound
N4274A85. This compound is formulated with proprietary internal
lubricants to provide extreme low friction and excellent wear resistance.
This compound provides extended cycle life over standard nitrile and
carboxylated nitrile compounds.

TR Profile
TR Profile (Rod T-seal) Compact Seal with

Anti-Extrusion Technology
Parkers TR profile rod T-seal is designed to retrofit o-rings in no backup, single back-up and two back-up standard industrial reciprocating
o-ring glands. Its compact design provides improved stability and
extrusion resistance in dynamic fluid sealing applications. The flange
or base of the T-seal forms a tight seal in the gland and supports the
anti-extrusion back-up rings. When energized, the back-up rings bridge
the extrusion gap to protect the rubber sealing element from extrusion
and system contamination. The T-seal eliminates the spiral or twisting
failure that can occur when o-rings are used against a dynamic surface.
Parker offers the TR profile in a variety of elastomer and back-up ring
compounds to cover a wide range of fluid compatibility, pressure and
temperature requirements.
Profile TR0 for no back-up o-ring gland (standard offering)
Profile TRS for single back-up o-ring gland
Profile TRT for two back-up o-ring gland
The TR profile is sold only as an assembly (elastomer and back-ups).

ON Profile, PTFE Rod Cap Seal

The Parker ON profile is a bi-directional PTFE rod seal for use in low
to medium duty hydraulic systems. The ON profile is a simple two
piece design comprised of a standard size Parker o-ring energizing
a wear resistant PTFE cap. The ON profile offers long wear and low
friction, and because of its short assembly length, requires minimal
space in the rod housing. The seal is commonly used in applications
such as mobile hydraulics, machine tools, injection molding machines
and hydraulic presses. Parkers ON profile will retrofit non-Parker seals
of similar design.
The ON profile may be ordered without the energizer by omitting the
energizer code. See part number nomenclature.

Notched side walls: Notches can be added to the side walls of
the PTFE cap. This can help to optimize the seals response to fluid
pressure. Notched side walls help ensure that fluid pressure fills the
cavity between the side face of the seal and the side face of the seal
gland. Consult your local Parker seal representative for the availability
and cost to add side notches to the OC profile.

OD Profile, PTFE Buffer Seal

The Parker OD profile is a rod seal that can be used as a buffer seal
in conjunction with a primary rod seal or in tandem with itself to form
a sealing system for higher performance. The OD profile is a unidirectional seal, with a unique design that allows trapped fluid pressure
back into the cylinder. When the rod extends from the cylinder the
OD profile is riding on a sealing point, creating a high compression
point to limit leakage. As the rod goes through its return stroke this
seal rocks forward, creating a larger sealing surface on the rod. The
compression force is spread out over a larger area allowing trapped
fluid to pass under the seal and return to the system. This pressure
relief feature allows the OD profile to be used in tandem or multiple seal
arrangements. The OD features low friction, long life, and versatility.
The OD profile may be ordered without the energizer by omitting the

V6 Profile, Pneumatic Cushion Seal

The V6 profile provides a check valve type action for use in
cushioning pneumatic cylinders. The V6 profile seals against the
cushioning piston or spud, allowing pneumatic pressure to build
and cushion the cylinders end stroke. Through a series of slots and
pedestals the intake flow is then able to easily blow past the cushion
seal to fill the cylinder. The installation of the cushion seal is very simple
as it manually snaps into the groove recess. The V6 profile is available
in proprietary Parker compounds formulated for low friction, extrusion
resistance, and high temperature. The V6 profile can be used in a wide
variety of NFPA cylinders and will provide excellent performance and
long life.

OR Profile, Rotary PTFE Cap Seal

The Parker OR profile is a bi-directional rod seal for use in pneumatic
and low to medium duty rotary or oscillating applications. The OR
profile is a two piece design comprised of a standard size o-ring
energizing a wear resistant PTFE cap. The OR profile offers long
wear and low friction without stick-slip. This PTFE outer diameter
is designed with a special interference with the o-ring to eliminate
spinning between the o-ring and seal. Special grooves are designed
into the PTFE inner diameter to provide lubrication and create a
labyrinth effect for reduced leakage. The seal is commonly used in
swivel joints, hose reels, and machine applications. Parkers OR profile
will retrofit non-Parker seals of similar design.
The OR profile may be ordered without the energizer by omitting the

Symmetrical Profiles
Parker symmetrical profiles are designed to fit the center of the gland.
They are categorized as symmetrical profiles because the shape of the
outside diameter sealing lip matches the shape of the inside diameter
sealing lip. This symmetrical design, with its centered fit in the gland,
allows the profile to function either as a rod or piston seal. Parkers
wide range of profile options, proprietary compounds, and sizes
establish Parker as a leader in the industry, providing quality solutions
for pneumatic and hydraulic applications.

PolyPak Sealing
PolyPak Sealing
Parkers PolyPak seal is a patented precision molded multi-purpose
seal. The Parker PolyPak combines an o-ring type synthetic rubber
o-spring with a conventional lip-type seal to produce a unique sealing
device capable of sealing both vacuum, high and low pressure.
Conventional lip seals, such as the standard u-cups are prone to
leakage under low pressure because little or no lip loading is inherent in
the basic seal design. The Parker PolyPak however, is a squeeze type
seal and provides high sealability at low pressure. As system pressure
increases, additional force is applied to the PolyPaks seal interface and
as pressure continues to increase, lip loading is automatically increased
to compensate for this higher pressure and thus maintain a positive,
leak-free seal from hard vacuum to over 60,000 psi with proper design
and auxiliary devices.
In addition to providing superior sealing in vacuum, low and high
pressure applications, the PolyPak seal offers a number of distinct
advantages over conventional symmetrical or non-symmetrical u-cup
seals including:
The PolyPak seals o-spring energizer stabilizes the seal under extreme pressures, preventing seal lip distortion and rolling or twisting
in the gland.
At low or high temperature extremes, the o-spring maintains lip loading on both I.D. and O.D. of the seal interface.
The PolyPak seal can be stretched or squeezed to accommodate
oversize cylinder bores and undersize rods. As long as the seal
cross-section is correct in relation to the radial groove dimensions,
the PolyPak will compensate and maintain proper lip loading.
The range of materials available to the user of the PolyPak seal
insures the proper combination for abrasion, extrusion, temperature
resistance and fluid compatability which produces high sealability
and long life.
PolyPak seals are available in three styles:
1. Standard PolyPak (SPP Profile)

PolyPak Sealing
Rod Sealing with PolyPak Seals
PolyPak Material Combinations
Parker recommends the use of the Type B PolyPak

(BPP Profile) for rod seal applications due to its
design features, including:
Excellent film-breaking capability of the beveled lip
design
The higher level of lip loading provided by the Type
B offers maximum sealability
The long body of the design provides maximum
stability
Table 6-2. Standard Shell and O-Spring Energizer

Combinations for PolyPak Seals
As a general rule, rod seals are more critical in

nature than their companion piston seals. With
increasing OEM requirements for dry rod capability,
both to conserve system fluid and avoid leakage,
the design and selection of the rod seal can be more
challenging than its piston counterpart.
PolyPak seals can be configured in numerous

o-spring energizer and shell combinations. Table 6-2
represents standard combinations. Care should
be taken to insure that both the PolyPak shell and its
companion o-spring energizer are compatible with the
system temperature, pressure, and fluid requirements.
Piston Sealing with PolyPak Seals
Click to Go to
SECTION
Table of Contents
Piston seals can be classified in two categories:

single-acting and double-acting. The single acting
seal is only required to seal in a single direction as
system pressure is seen on only one end of the
piston (return of the piston in a single-acting system
is accomplished either by gravity or spring loading).
The double-acting cylinder requires that the piston be
sealed in both directions of stroke as system fluid is
applied to one side or the other to achieve movement.
Please see the individual PolyPak profile pages for
explanation and differentiation on selecting PolyPak
profiles for piston applications.

Positively-Actuated Back-ups Option
PolyPak seals can be designed with positivelyactuated back-ups by designating that option in the
part number. See page 10-16 for an explanation of
the features of positively-actuated back-ups.

Square Cross-Section O-ring Energized Lip Seal
Parkers Standard PolyPak is a squeeze seal with a symmetrical
profile for use in either rod or piston applications. The standard
Molythane shell provides high wear resistance and the o-ring energizer
functions as a spring to maintain sealing contact under low pressure.
The Standard PolyPak utilizes a straight cut scraper lip design formed
by a precision trimming process. The scraper edge wipes both fluid
film and contamination away from the seal. A wide selection of sizes
and alternate compounds allow this profile to match up with many
hydraulic applications. The Standard PolyPak is an economical choice
as a stand alone rod or piston seal. With less squeeze force than the
Deep or Type B profiles, the Standard PolyPak can be installed back-toback, in separate glands, for bi-directional sealing. To protect against
pressure trapping, it is recommended that the o-ring be removed from
the Standard PolyPak facing the lower pressure side of the application.

DPP Profile, Deep PolyPak,

O-ring Loaded Lip Seal with Scraper Lip Design
Parkers Deep PolyPak is a squeeze seal with a symmetrical profile
for use in either rod or piston applications. Its rectangular shape
ensures stability in the gland. The standard Molythane shell provides
high wear resistance and the o-ring energizer functions as a spring to
maintain sealing contact under low pressure or vacuum applications.
The Deep PolyPak straight cut scraper lip design cuts fluid film and
moves contamination away from the seal. The sharp edge of the lip
is formed by a precision knife trimming process. A wide selection of
sizes and alternate compounds allow this profile to match up with many
hydraulic applications. The Deep PolyPak is an economical choice as a
stand alone rod or piston seal. Dual Deep PolyPak seals should not be
installed back to back in bi-directional piston applications as a pressure
trap between the seals may occur.

O-ring Energized Lip Seal with Beveled Lip Design
Parkers BPP profile, Type B PolyPak is a squeeze seal with a
symmetrical profile for use in either rod or piston applications. The
rectangular shape of its cross section ensures stability in the gland.
The standard Molythane shell provides high wear resistance and the
o-ring energizer functions as a spring to maintain sealing contact under
low pressure or vacuum applications. The beveled lip design of the
seal is excellent for cutting fluid film and is formed by a precision knife
trimming process. A wide selection of sizes and alternate compounds
allow this profile to match up with many hydraulic applications. The
Type B PolyPak is an economical choice as a stand-alone seal or can
be used in tandem with a buffer seal. In piston applications, this seal
will function as a unidirectional seal. Dual Type B PolyPak seals should
not be installed back-to-back in bi-directional pressure applications, as
a pressure trap between the seals may occur. Instead, for bi-directional
piston sealing, incorporate a PIP Ring (see page 7-15).

8400 Profile, Light Load U-cup with Beveled Lips;

8500 Profile, Light Load U-cup with Scraper Lips
Parkers 8400 and 8500 Series u-cups are symmetrical lip seals
for use in either rod or piston sealing applications. The thin, flexible
lip design reacts to low pressure and provides an extremely smooth,
steady movement with less break away force required because of the
inherent low friction. Both the 8400 and 8500 u-cups are produced
from the same molds. The 8400 style utilizes a beveled lip, ideal for
wiping fluid film, while the 8500 design utilizes a straight cut scraper
lip that yields additional lip interference and wipes contamination
away from the sealing edge. Both u-cup profiles are available in a
variety of rubber compounds to cover a wide range of applications.
While the 8400 and 8500 u-cups are primarily designed for pneumatic
applications, they can also be used in low to medium pressure hydraulic
applications. The pressure range of the u-cups may be extended by
incorporating an 8700 back-up ring.

SL Profile, Dual Compound Dual Lip Seal

Parkers SL profile is considered a multiple lip seal. The primary
sealing lip is provided by the precision knife trimmed rubber element
that snaps into the Molythane base. The base of the SL profile
provides the secondary lip which is aligned directly below the primary
lip to provide extrusion, and wear resistance. The SL profile combines
the sealing benefit of rubber with the wear and strength of Molythane.
The beveled rubber lip geometry is excellent for cutting fluid film and
the squeeze forces across the lips maintain sealing contact under low
pressure or vacuum. The ability of Parker to supply a variety of rubber
compounds allows the SL profile to be compatible with a wide range of
pressure, temperature and fluids. The SL profile is designed to work as
a stand alone rod seal or can be used in tandem with a buffer seal. In
piston applications, this seal will function as a unidirectional seal. Dual
SL profile seals should not be installed back-to-back in bi-directional
pressure applications, as a pressure trap between the seals may occur.

Symmetrical Seal
US Profile
US Profile, Symmetrical U-cup Seal

The Parker US profile is a symmetrical, beveled lip u-cup designed for
use in hydraulic cylinder applications. The symmetrical shape allows
interchangeability between rod and piston applications. A precision
knife trimming process is utilized to create the beveled sealing lips.
This ensures that the inside and outside diameter sealing edges provide
excellent fluid wiping action. The US profile is a single acting seal. Two
seals can be installed back to back, in separate grooves, to seal dual
acting pistons without pressure trapping fluid between the seals. The
US profile is an economical choice, available in Parkers wear resistant
and extrusion resistant Molythane compound.

BP Profile, Premium TPU Cap Seal

Parkers BP profile is a squeeze type, bi-directional piston seal for use
in medium to heavy duty hydraulic applications. This seal is primarily
designed for linear applications but has been successfully used as a
low speed rotary seal. The standard material for this profile is Resilon
4304 polyurethane, compound P4304. This is a proprietary Parker
polyurethane offering higher wear resistance, extrusion resistance,
and extended temperature range. The Resilon 4304 cap is energized
using a resilient nitrile elastomer offering low compression set. The BP
profiles geometry provides a fluid reservoir between the two sealing lips
which holds system fluid, resulting in reduced breakaway and running
friction. The standard style BP profile is designed to retrofit o-ring
grooves. The BP profile is easy to install and will resist rolling and
twisting in long stroke applications.
The BP profile is sold only as an assembly (seal and energizer). See
part number nomenclature.

CT Profile, Premium PTFE Cap Seal

with Anti-Extrusion Technology
The Parker CT profile is a robust design for heavy duty hydraulic
applications. The CT profile is an excellent choice for sealing mobile
hydraulic applications that experience shock loads. The CT profile is a
four piece assembly made up of a rubber energizer, PTFE cap and two
back-up rings. In application, fluid pressure forces the rubber energizer
to apply increased load against the PTFE cap and back-up rings. This
results in increased sealing force against the bore and allows the backup rings to close off the extrusion gap between the piston and the bore.
Once activated by pressure, the back-up rings protect the seal from
extruding and keep internal contamination away from the PTFE cap.
Parkers CT profile will retrofit non-Parker seals of similar design.
The CT Profile is sold only as an assembly (seal and energizer). See

Piston Seal
OK Profile
OK Profile, High Pressure Split Cap Piston Seal

The OK profile is a bi-directional piston seal designed for heavy duty
hydraulic applications. Its durable, two-piece design installs easily onto
a solid piston without the necessity of auxiliary tools. When installed
into the bore, the diameter of the OK profile is compressed to close the
step cut in the cap to provide excellent, drift free sealing performance.
The glass-filled nylon sealing surface handles the toughest applications.
It will resist shock loads, wear, contamination, and will resist extrusion
or chipping when passing over cylinder ports. The rectangular nitrile
energizer ring ensures resistance to compression set to increase seal
life.
The OK profile is sold only as an assembly. See part number
nomenclature.

Piston Seal
PIP Profile
PIP Ring Profile, Loaded Lip Seal

with Pressure Inverting Pedestal
The Parker PIP Ring profile combines a Pressure Inverting Pedestal
with a Type B PolyPak to provide excellent, bi-directional piston
sealing in hydraulic applications. The PIP Ring conforms to the beveled
sealing lips of the Type B PolyPak to provide extrusion resistance when
pressure is applied to the heel side of the seal. The PIP Ring profile
requires only a single seal groove for installation. This eliminates the
use of two PolyPak seals on the piston to save space and increase
bearing length.
Note: The PIP Ring profile may be purchased as an assembly (Type B
PolyPak and PIP Ring) or separately as a PIP Ring only. If purchasing
as an assembly, the standard material is a 4615 Type B PolyPak with
4617 PIP Ring. If you desire alternate material combinations, please
order the PIP Ring and Type B PolyPak separately. Call your Parker
representative for details.

B7 Profile
B7 Profile, U-cup Piston Seal

The B7 profile is a non-symmetrical, hydraulic cylinder piston seal.
The knife trimmed, beveled lip contacts the bore to provide enhanced
low to high pressure sealing and wiping action. When installed, the
diameter of the B7 profile is stretched slightly to fit the gland. This
ensures a tight static seal with the gland and improves stability in
application. The B7 profile is available in Parkers proprietary urethane
compounds which provide excellent wear, extrusion resistance and
compression set resistance. The B7 profile is a uni-directional seal.
Two seals can be placed on a piston, back-to-back, in separate glands,
offering bi-directional fluid sealing.

BMP Profile
BMP Profile, Rounded Lip Seal with Bumper Cushion

The Parker BMP profile is a low friction bumper and seal providing
quiet deceleration and reduced end stroke noise in pneumatic piston
applications. Designed to mount on the ends of the piston and to
be used along with Parkers V6 profile cushion seal, the bumper pad
absorbs the final inertia which prevents contact between the piston and
tube ends. The BMP profile can also be used without cushion seals in
less critical applications. The BMP profile has a rounded sealing edge
which hydroplanes over pre-lubricated surfaces extending cycle life and
reducing friction. The BMP profile is available in Parkers proprietary
Nitroxile compound, offering low friction and wear resistance, as well
as fluorocarbon for extended temperature range.

TP Profile (Piston T-seal), Compact Seal

with Anti-Extrusion Technology
Parkers TP profile piston T-seal is designed to retrofit o-rings in
no back-up, single back-up and two back-up standard industrial
reciprocating o-ring glands. Its compact design provides improved
stability and extrusion resistance in dynamic fluid sealing applications.
The flange or base of the T-seal forms a tight seal in the gland and
supports the anti-extrusion back-up rings. When energized, the backup rings bridge the extrusion gap to protect the rubber sealing element
from extrusion and system contamination. The T-seal geometry
eliminates the spiral or twisting failure that can occur when o-rings are
used against a dynamic surface. Parker offers the TP profile in a variety
of elastomer and back-up ring compounds to cover a wide range of
fluid compatibility, pressure and temperature.
Profile TP0 for no back-up o-ring gland (standard offering)
Profile TPS for single back-up o-ring gland
Profile TPT for two back-up o-ring gland
The TP profile is sold only as an assembly (elastomer and back-up).

with Anti-Drift Technology
The Parker CQ profile is a bi-directional piston seal for use in medium
to heavy duty hydraulic applications. The CQ profile is a unique seal
design that includes a rubber quad seal in the PTFE cap to ensure
drift free performance. The PTFE cap is a stable rectangular shape
and is energized, depending on its cross section, by a single square
energizer or dual Parker o-rings. The CQ piston seal is commonly used
in applications such as mobile hydraulics, lift trucks, standard cylinders
and piston accumulators. Parkers CQ profile will retrofit non-Parker
seals of similar design.
The CQ profile may be ordered without the energizer and quad
seal by omitting the energizer/quad seal code. See part number

OG Profile, PTFE Piston Cap Seal

The Parker OG profile is a single-acting piston sealing set profile
consisting of a PTFE piston sealing ring and an elastomer o-ring
energizer. The asymetrical cross-section of the slipper ring is designed
for best drag oil performance during stroke in both directions. The
OG profile is particularly suitable for single-acting pistons in control
cylinders, in servo-controlled systems, machine tools, quick acting
cylinders.
The material combination of the PTFE slipper ring and the elastomer
o-ring make this product suitable for a wide range of applications,
especially for aggressive media and/or high temperatures. The OG
profile may be ordered without the energizer by omitting the energizer
code. See part number nomenclature.

CP Profile, PTFE Piston Cap Seal

The Parker CP profile is a cap seal with anti-extrusion, low friction
and low wear features. The CP profile is a bi-directional piston seal for
use in low to medium duty applications. Because of the unique design
of the filled PTFE cap, the CP profile offers long wear, low friction and
anti-extrusion. Only minimal gland space is needed to fit the seal on
the piston due to its short assembly length.
The CP profile retrofits into a standard size o-ring groove without
modification and will retrofit non-Parker seals of similar design. There
are three CP profiles to match groove widths:
CP0 a standard o-ring groove
CP1 an o-ring groove designed for one back-up ring
CP2 an o-ring groove designed for two back-up rings

Wiper Introduction
One of the primary causes of premature component failure in a fluid

power system is contamination. Contaminants such as moisture, dirt,
and dust can cause extensive damage to cylinder walls, rods, seals and
other components. It has always been Parkers design philosophy to
use aggressive wiping geometries to prevent the damage that is caused
when trace amounts of dirt or water are allowed to enter a fluid power
system. This philosophy goes hand in hand with reducing the down
time and high costs associated with replacing rusted components,
scored rods, filters and leaking seals.

Wipers
Choosing a Wiper
contamination. For ultimate performance,

Parker offers profiles with a knife trimmed wiping
lip. These profiles include the YD and J profiles.
Some of the considerations that need to be made

when choosing a wiper include:
4. Redundant Sealing Lips: One of the most

effective ways to improve a systems sealing
performance is to incorporate the use of
multiple or redundant sealing lips. This can be
accomplished by using Parkers AY, AH, H or
8600, double lip profiles. Because these wipers
have a redundant sealing lip, there is no way
for them to relieve a pressure trap out of the
system. It is critical, therefore, to pair redundant
lip wipers with the correct rod seals, such as
the BT and B3 u-cup profiles. These rod seal
profiles enable fluid pressure relief back into the
system.
1. Application Requirements
2. Groove Geometry
3. Lip Geometry
4. Redundant Sealing Lips
5. Environment
6. Rod Seal Interaction
Also see the Wiper Decision Tree found on page 8-4.
1. Application Requirements: Whether hydraulic
or pneumatic, high temperature, or low friction,
Parkers broad range of materials and wiper
profiles allow you to choose the right wiper for
every application.
5. Environment: In certain applications where

cylinders are in a vertical or rod-up orientation,
its possible for moisture or other contaminants
to collect in the wiper gland. These situations
can be found in everything from forklifts and
agricultural cylinders to heavy duty construction
equipment that is exposed to all-weather
conditions. For this reason, Parker offers
several wiper profiles that feature O.D. exclusion
technology on both the dynamic and static
surfaces to keep contamination out. For snapin applications, the Parker YD profile offers an
additional lip contact to exclude contamination
at the O.D. For more aggressive sealing at the
O.D., Parker offers the AH and J style metal
encased wipers which utilize a metal to metal
interference fit for high performance in harsh
environments.
2. Groove Geometry: When choosing a wiper,

the groove geometry, machining costs, wiper
costs and the costs of replacing the wiper while
in the field must be considered. The majority of
mobile equipment manufacturers use press-fit
canned wipers. While canned wipers are more
costly, the gland machining costs are less and
the wiper lips are more aggressive for this harsh
environment.
Click to Go to
SECTION
Table of Contents
3. Lip Geometry: Parker wipers are designed to

give the best possible exclusion performance
by featuring perpendicular, or straight-cut lip
geometries. The footprint of a sharp, straightcut wiper causes a high concentration of force
which maximizes fluid film breakage while
allowing contaminants to be pushed away from
the wiping edge. (See Figure 8-1.) The footprint
of a radiused lip, however, often results in a
poor concentration of force. Although they
are less costly, radiused lip geometries can
trap contamination against the rod, lifting the
wiper up and opening a gateway for further
6. Rod Seal Interaction: It is important to

properly pair rod seals and wiper combinations
to minimize leakage. When the rod extends
past the rod seal, there is a thin film of oil
that remains trapped in microscopic surface
imperfections. The thickness of this film
depends on the aggressiveness of the rod seal,
rod surface finish and rod speed. If the rod seal
chosen is less aggressive than the wiper, the
wiper can wipe away the oil film during retract,
resulting in system leakage.

Examples of poor wiper/rod seal combinations

include using a soft rubber u-cup with an
aggressive urethane wiper, or a rod seal with net
molded lips paired with a knife trimmed wiper.
In both cases a less aggressive rod seal is
improperly paired with a more aggressive wiper.

an aggressive, knife-trimmed wiping lip to ensure maximum exclusion
along the rod. A true zero-radius lip provides the most effective wiping
action available.

SHD Profile
Preferred Profile
SHD Profile, Industrial Snap-In Wiper

Parker SHD profile wipers are an outstanding choice for light and
medium duty hydraulic and pneumatic applications. The slotted heel
design prevents pressure traps from forming between the rod seal and
wiper. Broad tooling availability, up to 30", makes the SHD a good
choice for large rod diameters. The snap-in design is oversized for a
snug fit and excellent stability. This makes the SHD a great all-round
wiper in an economical package.

SH959 Profile
SH959 Profile, AN-Style Snap-In Wiper

Parker SH959 profile wipers are AN style excluders designed to ensure
proper fit with all MS-28776 (MS-33675) dash size grooves. The slotted
heel design prevents pressure traps from forming between the rod
seal and wiper. This profile of wiper requires very little radial or axial
space. This is why they are ideal in light to medium duty hydraulic and
pneumatic applications where such space constraints are present.

AH Profile
AH Profile, Premium Double-Lip Canned Wiper

Parkers AH profile wiper is the ultimate metal-clad excluder for
heavy duty hydraulic applications. Press-fit installation prevents O.D.
contamination while the additional sealing lip works in conjunction with
Parker rod seals to provide redundant sealing for leakage reduction.
An aggressive wiping lip, facing the environment, ensures the utmost
performance in contaminant exclusion along the rod.
IMPORTANT: When using the AH wiper in conjunction with other
rod seals, it is important to select a rod seal profile that enables
pressure relief of fluid into the system, otherwise a pressure trap
may form between the wiper and rod seal. Suggested rod profiles
are BT, BS, and B3 u-cups.

J Profile, Performance Canned Wiper

The press-fit installation of Parkers J profile wiper guards against O.D.
contamination and results in simple counter-bore groove machining.
The wiping lip on the J profile wiper is very aggressive, eliminating the
ingression of dust, mud and moisture from harsh work areas. J profile
wipers are ideal for medium and heavy duty hydraulic cylinders in the
most demanding applications.

AY Profile
Preferred Profile
AY Profile, Premium Double-Lip Wiper

The AY profile can be used as a heavy to light duty wiper. When used
in high pressure applications with the proper Parker rod seals, the AY
profile complements the sealing system by providing an additional
beveled sealing lip, yielding excellent film-breaking and the driest rod
sealing available. These dual acting features also enable it to be used
by itself in low pressure applications as both the rod seal and the wiper.
Knife-trimmed sealing lips ensure the best possible film breaking.
IMPORTANT: When using the AY wiper in conjunction with other
pressure relief of fluid into the system, otherwise a pressure
trap may form between the wiper and rod seal. Suggested rod
profiles are BT, BS, and B3 u-cups.

H and 8600 Profiles, Performance Double-Lip Wiper

Parkers H and 8600 profile wipers are double-lip excluders sharing
identical geometries for combining the actions of rod sealing and
wiping. H wipers, available in plastic compounds, are intended for
medium pressure hydraulic applications as a redundant rod seal or for
low pressure systems as the sole rod seal and wiper. The 8600 profile
wiper, available in rubber compounds, is typically used for pneumatic
cylinders where lower friction is required. As with the H profile, the
8600 profile can be used with another rod seal or by itself as a dualacting sealing/wiping unit.
IMPORTANT: When using H and 8600 Profile wipers with other
pressure relief of fluid into the system, otherwise a pressure
trap may form between the wiper and rod seal. Suggested rod
profiles are BT, BS, B3, 8400, 8500 and E5 u-cups.

AD Profile, PTFE Wiper Seal

The Parker AD profile is a double acting wiper for use in low to medium
duty hydraulic cylinders. It is a two-piece design comprised of a filled
PTFE cap that is energized by a standard size o-ring. The wiping
and sealing design of the AD profile assists the primary rod seal in
preventing leakage by helping seal fluid in the cylinder when the rod
extends. When the cylinder rod retracts, the outside sealing edge
prevents contamination from entering the system. Parkers AD profile
will retrofit non-Parker wipers of similar design.
The AD profile may be ordered without the energizer. See part number
nomenclature.

Quality Assurance
All Parker wear ring product lines are

manufacatured at ISO 9000 registered operations.
As such, wear ring production is governed by rigorous
quality standards and procedures through a highly
trained and qualified workforce. With the assistance
of precise, accurate measurement systems and
detailed workmanship criteria, Parker delivers first
class quality and consistency in every shipment.
Manufacturing Excellence
Parker wear rings utilize a precision manufacturing

process that achieves precise flatness on the bearing
surfaces, whereas conventional net-molded bearings
can form dog bone cross-sections. The result
is optimal bearing contact area and compressive
strength. The cross-sections shown in Figure 9-1
illustrate the differences between these manufacturing
methods.
Additionally, available sizing is not limited to existing
tooling. Our processes allow for virtually any width to
be produced without assessing a setup charge.

molding (right).

FAQs
There are many factors to consider

when designing a system.
Following are the frequently asked
questions regarding bearing design
and choosing the right wear ring.
Click to Go to
SECTION
Table of Contents
What is the performance difference between

standard-tolerance and tight-tolerance wear rings?
Standard-tolerance wear rings have a radial wall tolerance that is

held to .0025", while tight-tolerance wear rings are held to .001"
(under 6"). Tight-tolerance wear rings allow for a more precise fit
of components, resulting in less dimensional play. This allows
the extrusion gap to be smaller for tight-tolerance wear rings, thus
increasing the seals pressure rating beyond that of standard-tolerance
wear rings. This becomes very important at high temperatures, where
pressure ratings of materials can further be reduced. Although it is
critical to consider every aspect of each application, a general guideline
for product selection can be found in Table 9-2 on page 9-3.
Wear ring grooves call for larger extrusion gaps. How

does this affect the seals pressure rating?
Since wear rings are used to eliminate metal-to-metal contact

between moving parts, there must be a larger gap between them, thus
causing a wider extrusion gap. As a result, the seals pressure ratings
will decrease. Pre-established gland dimensions outlined in this catalog
always result in a minimum 0.005" clearance for metal components.
As such, standard-tolerance wear rings can reduce a seals pressure
capability by up to 50%. Using tight-tolerance wear rings enables the
extrusion gaps to be held closer, and the seals pressure ratings are only
reduced by up to 30%. In either case, it is important to select proper
seal and back-up materials to accommodate the increased extrusion
gaps. Alternatively, Parker Integrated Pistons boost performance
by providing all of the benefits of wear rings without any increase in
extrusion gap whatsoever.
For applications where the seals will be stressed toward their
maximum capabilities, gland dimensions can be developed using
the equations that accompany each profile. Use these equations to
apply desired machining tolerances and clearances. It is critical when
determining metal-to-metal clearances to consider the materials
compressive properties, which can be found on page 9-7. It is equally
important to evaluate how the applied tolerances will affect the seals
extrusion gap. Please contact Parker or your authorized distributor for
assistance in developing alternate gland dimensions.

F
How is a proper bearing width selected?

W
When selecting a bearing width, it is crucial to evaluate the side loads

that the bearings will have to withstand. Figure 9-2 shows the total
pressure area, AP, that a radial force from a side load will affect. Area,
AP is calculated as follows:
Ap = D x W
Figure 9-2: Total affected pressure

area, AP
where D is the bearing O.D. for pistons or the bearing I.D. for rods, and
W is the bearing width.

please contact Parker or your authorized distributor.
It is important to note that the pressure distribution

will not be equally dispersed across this area.
Instead, the pressure profile takes the form shown in
Figure 9-3. The assumed load-bearing area, AL, can
be calculated as follows:
What about fluid compatibility and wear

rings?
A D x W
AL = p =

To calculate the allowable radial force, F, simply
multiply the load-bearing area, AL, by the permissible
compressive load (compressive strength) of the material,
q, and divide by the desired factor of safety, FS.
To calculate the proper bearing width, W, based on
a known radial force:
MolyGard and WearGard compounds are

compatible with petroleum-based hydraulic fluids,
transmission fluids, phosphate esters, and many
other fluids. PTFE compounds 0401, 0307, and
others have outstanding chemical compatibility with
a wide range of fluids. Please contact Parker for
specific inquiries.
How does moisture affect wear rings?
Due to nylons inherent swelling in water, it is

recommended that WearGard and MolyGard not
be used in applications where water or moisture is
present. Filled PTFE compounds or other alternative
materials such as polyacetal and composite resins
are recommended in such scenarios and are available
from Parker.

W=
x FS

D x q
Once W is calculated, round up to the next nominal
width (1/8" increments).
Where should the wear ring be installed

relative to the seals?
To calculate the allowable radial force, F, based on

a known bearing width:
Wear rings should always be installed on the

lubrication (wet) side of the seal for best performance.
For rod glands, the wear ring should be on the
pressure side of the rod seal. For pistons, if only one
bearing is to be used, it should be on the side of the
piston opposite the rod. This arrangement keeps the
piston wear ring further away from the rod wear ring.
This becomes critical when the rod is at full extension
and provides better leveraging of the two bearing
surfaces.

F= L

FS 5 x FS
Compressive Strength, q, can be found in the
material properties tables on page 9-7. This value is
based upon known material deflection at 73F and
at a specified load. Parker recommends a factor
of safety, FS, of at least 3 to account for changes
in physical properties due to increases in system
Which end cut should be used?
There are three types of end cuts available: butt

cut, angle cut (skive cut) and step cut. The butt
cut is the most common and most economical cut.
Angle cuts and step cuts provide added performance
by ensuring bearing area overlap at the wear rings
gap. In certain applications, step cut wear rings can
be used as buffer seals, protecting the seal from
pressure spikes. Figure 9-4 illustrates these options.

Materials
Parker Wear Ring / Bearing Materials

Parkers material offering for wear ring and bearing materials materials
is anchored by over 50 years of manufacturing and material science
expertise. We have specifically engineered our W4733 WearGard for
strength to meet or exceed the characteristics of many metals which
have traditionally been used in wear rings.
While many compounds are available, the most commonly used
bearing materials are WearGard and filled PTFE.
Parker also offers other engineered bearing materials for specialized
applications demanding higher temperatures and sideloads. Parkers
W4738 UltraComp CGT (PEEK) provides high temperature bearing
performance up to 500F. Composite, fabric-reinforced resins are
also available to accommodate sideloads far more severe than glassloaded nylon compounds can withstand. Composite resins also resist
moisture swell in water-glycol emulsions and other water-based fluids.
Polyacetal, nylons, molybdenum disulfide, and many different PTFE filler
combinations are also available for specialized applications. Please
contact Parker or your authorized distributor for assistance in selecting
alternative bearing materials.

Back-up Rings
Product Offering........................ 10-3
Back-up rings are the most common anti-extrusion devices in

dynamic sealing. They provide simple solutions to safely increase
system pressure or solve an existing seal extrusion problem. Backup rings function by positioning a more robust material adjacent to
the extrusion gap, taking the seals place and providing a barrier
against high pressures. Back-ups can be used to offset the reduced
pressure rating effects of wear rings or to improve seal life at increased
pressures. They can also be used to protect seals against pressure
spikes, or to ensure seal performance at higher temperatures.

Back-ups Rings
Back-up
Parker offers a wide range of back-up ring profiles
and materials to complement each seal type and to
suit every application.
Modular back-up rings disperse pressure from the
seal throughout the gland to fill the extrusion gap and
protect the seal (see Figure 10-1).
The use of Profile MB
can increase a PolyPak
seal's pressure rating to
10,000 psi, while 8700
back-ups provide added
extrusion resistance
to u-cups with only
a minimal increase in
gland width.
For extreme pressures, a single modular back-up

is replaced with dual wedge-shaped back-ups (WB
Profile), composed of engineered plastics such as
UltraCOMP (PEEK).
As pressure increases, the angled back-ups are
forced to bridge the clearance gap, eliminating
extrusion. This method has been used successfully
for custom applications
operating at pressures
as high as 100,000 psi.
Figure 10-1. Modular Back-up

Ring
Positively-actuated back-up rings are actuated

both axially and radially into the extrusion gap,
guarding the seal against extrusion (see Figures
10-2 and 10-3). For many profiles, positivelyactuated back-ups can provide the ultimate extrusion
resistance while retaining the seals original gland
dimensions.

Custom back-up rings. Parker can design custom

Contact Parker or your authorized distributor for
engineering assistance in designing custom back-up
configurations.
When to Use Back-up Rings

System operating pressure exceeds the limitations
of the seals extrusion resistance.
Pressure spikes in the system exceed normal
operating conditions, risking damage to the seal.
The use of wear rings has increased the extrusion
gap, reducing the seal's pressure rating to an
unacceptable level.
The system temperature is high enough to lower
the seals extrusion resistance to an unacceptable
level.

MB Profile, Modular Back-up for PolyPak and U-cup

Seals
Modular back-ups, MB profile, are specifically designed to
complement the PolyPak profiles. To help make the selection and
ordering of the correct part number for the MB profile easy and
efficient, the part numbering system used is very similar to that of the
PolyPak. By formulating high modulus blends of Molythane (4617) and
Polymyte (4652), Parker has ensured that MB back-ups can be used
with either type of base sealing material while maintaining the expected
temperature range and fluid compatibility. The robust design ensures
pressure ratings up to 10,000 psi are met.

How to Determine the Gland Width when Using Modular Back-up Rings
The MB Profile back-up ring allows you to extend the pressure rating of a seal that fits into the common gland
used by such seals as PolyPak, BS, BT, BD, B3, B7, UP, UR and US profiles. In order to use the MB profile
back-up ring, the width of the seal gland must be extended to account for the height of the back-up. Utilizing
the gland calculations tables as shown in this catalog, add the value shown in Table 10-3 to the calculated
gland width of the seal.

8700 Profile, Low Profile Modular Back-up for PolyPak

and U-cup Seals
8700 profile back-up rings provide added extrusion resistance to
u-cups and PolyPak seals with only minimal increase in gland width.
The 8700 profile back-up was originally designed to dramatically
increase the pressure rating of rubber u-cups in situations where
temperature or fluid compatibility prevent the use of urethane seals.
As such, 8700 profile back-ups share a part numbering system very
similar to our 8400 and 8500 profile rubber u-cups for easy matching
of components. Additionally, they are perfect for adding heavy duty
pressure capabilities to medium duty urethane sealing systems.

PAB Profile
PAB Profile, Positively-Actuated Back-up

While modular back-ups require an increase in groove width to
be incorporated into the sealing system, PAB profile back-ups do not
change the required axial groove width because they are integrated
with the seal. For many profiles, these back-ups can provide the
ultimate extrusion resistance while retaining the seals original groove
dimensions. While the most common material used to manufacture
positively-actuated back-ups is nylon, it is not uncommon to see
applications that require materials such as PEEK or PTFE.
Due to the nature of this product line and the design relationship
between the back-up and the seal, parts are sold only as part of an
assembly that includes the seal design best suited to the application.
Positively-actuated back-ups can be incorporated into profiles such
as the BPP and BD. Tooling may be required.

PDB Profile, PTFE O-Ring Back-up

PDB profile back-up rings are PTFE anti-extrusion rings. The PDBA
and PDBB profiles are designed to retrofit MIL Spec grooves used
in commercial applications. PDBA styles are split rings retrofitting
MS28774 designs, while PDBB styles are solid rings retrofitting
MS27595 designs. Due to the fact that these profiles are designed
to commercial grooves, MIL Spec certifications are not available.
Although the standard material is virgin PTFE, any of Parkers available
PTFE blends can be used.

WB Profile, HPHT Back-up

Parkers wedged back-up rings extend seal life by preventing
extrusion of elastomeric seals in high pressure, high temperature
environments. WB profile back-up rings are custom made-to-order
and available in a variety of materials depending upon operating
conditions.
Under high system pressure, the elastomer seal applies an axial force
on to the wedged back-up set. This axial force allows the wedged
halves of the back-up set to slide apart along their common angle and
bridge the metal gland clearance gaps; preventing extrusion of the
primary sealing elastomer.

How to Determine the Gland Width when Using WB Profile Back-up Rings
The WB Profile Back-up ring allows you to extend the pressure rating of a seal that fits into the common gland
used by such seals as the PolyPak Profiles. In order to use the WB Back-up ring, the width of the seal gland
must be extended to account for the height of the WB Back-up set. Utilizing the gland calculations tables as
shown in this catalog, add the value shown in Table 10-13 to the calculated gland width of the seal.

How Wedged Back-ups Work
Pressure
Wedged back-up rings are used to protect the main

sealing elements in high pressure applications. The
WB Profile is not a seal, but is used in conjunction with
elastomeric seals to bridge the metal gland extrusion
gaps and prevent the elastomeric seal from extruding
(See Fig 10-4).
Fig. 10-5.
Assembly in
Piston Gland.
As pressure contacts the main seal upstream from

the back-up rings, the sealing systems are forced to
the point of least resistance which is the extrusion gap
(Fig. 10-5 and 10-6). Since the seal is positioned on
top of the back-up ring set, as pressure increases, it
comes in contact with the back-up set. Pressure acts
on the common-angled back-up rings causing them
to slide apart. As they do, the respective ID and OD
shift to their points of least resistance and close off the
extrusion gap providing zero clearance for the softer
elastomer. With the gap eliminated, sealing becomes
more effective and longer lasting despite extremely
high system pressures.
Pressure
Fig. 10-6.
Assembly in
Rod Gland.
Double-Acting. Two wedged-back-up ring sets

can be used in double-acting applications with one
back-up set positioned downstream of each pressure
direction (Fig 10-7). This design allows seals to
function in static or dynamic applications under high
pressure and high temperature conditions. The rigid
back-up ring design has little effect on breakout
and running friction. Depending upon the material
selected, the split design facilitates intallation on solid
pistons without necessity of auxiliary installation tools.

Urethane O-rings, D-rings & Head Seals
Parker offers many materials for fluid power applications that have
unique advantages in comparison to traditional materials (see Section
3, Materials). The physical characteristics and mechanical properties of
urethane based compounds such as Resilon 4300 and Resilon 4301
used in AS568 style o-rings and D-Rings, and P4700 used in urethane
head seals, deliver performance advantages over traditional elastomers
with low compression set and excellent extrusion resistance.

Urethane O-rings
Parker urethane o-rings offer the material advantages exclusive to the
Resilon family of compounds in standard and custom o-ring sizes. High
temperature Resilon o-rings eliminate the need for back-ups, simplifying
installation and reducing damage due to spiral failure.
Urethane D-rings
Parkers Resilon polyurethane D-ring is a one-piece hydraulic valve
sealing solution which delivers longer life and reduced warranty costs
over traditional multiple-component seals.
Urethane Head Seals
HS profile static head seals are ideal for replacing o-rings and backups in hydraulic cylinder heads. Installation is simplified and failure due
to pinching and blow-out is eliminated. The characteristics offered by
P4700 urethane provide the performance advantages for this profile.

Preferred Profile
568 Profile, Resilon O-ring

Parker is pleased to offer the material advantages of the Resilon
family of urethanes in standard o-ring sizes. The high extrusion
resistance of Resilon 4300 and related compounds eliminates the
need for a back-up in many hydraulic applications, thereby simplifying
installation and reducing groove width. Resilons unmatched
temperature rating makes it suitable in applications where other
urethanes fail. In addition, Resilon 4301 provides superior water
resistance and compression set resistance in water-based fluids.
Premium urethane o-rings are much less prone to spiral failure and
installation damage compared with rubber o-rings. Dimensions
and tolerances of Parker Resilon o-rings match up with AS568B
specifications for diameter and cross-section and are used in the same
grooves.

Preferred Profile
DG Profile, Urethane D-Ring

Parkers DG profile urethane D-ring is a problem solver featuring a
variety of design advantages. The molded D shape which is higher
in the middle and lower on the ends, provides sealing in critical areas
while reducing the chance of a seal being cut during installation. Its
sealing lip contact footprint is minimized, thus reducing the amount
of friction between seal and bore while providing expected sealing
performance. The D shape is symmetrical so there is no performance
degradation as the valve cycles in the reverse direction nor concern
of backward installation of the seal. The design also incorporates
pressure pedestals to eliminate the potential for blow-by, common
in reverse cycling.

Urethane Head Seal

HS Profile
HS Profile, Static Head Seal

As mobile equipment OEMs continue to consider warranty costs,
one area of focus has been a review of down time related to cylinder
head glands. Two of the most common seal failures on cylinder heads
are o-ring back-up blow-out and pinched back-ups. Both failures are
common in systems with high eccentricities or large extrusion gaps. To
address these situations and to reduce down time HS profile static head
seals are specified to replace the industry-standard o-ring and backup. Incorporating high performance plastics with a stable, symmetrical
geometry dramatically reduces the risks of installation damage and
back-up blow-out. Both problems are eliminated with the HS profiles
one piece urethane design offering improved fit and a stable geometry.

Rod Seal
BT Metric Profile Preferred Profile
BT Profile, Premium U-cup Rod Seal

The BT profile is a non-symmetrical design for use in hydraulic rod
sealing applications. Using Finite Element Analysis, the BT profile was
designed to provide improved sealing performance and stability in the
gland. A knife trimming process is used to form the beveled lip which
is best for removing fluid from the rod. By design, the BT profile has a
more robust primary sealing lip than the BS profile and the stabilizing
lip is located at the base of the heel. The standard compound for the
BT profile is Parkers proprietary Resilon polyurethane compound. The
BT profile provides long life, extrusion resistance, low compression
set, shock load resistance and increased sealing performance at zero
pressure. The BT profile is designed for use as a stand alone rod seal
or for use with the BR or OD profile buffer seals for more critical sealing
applications.

Rod Wiper
AY Metric Profile Preferred Profile
AY Profile, Double-Lip Wiper

The AY profile can be used as a heavy to light duty wiper. When used
in high pressure applications with the proper Parker rod seals, the AY
complements the sealing system by providing an additional beveled
sealing lip, yielding excellent film-breaking and the driest rod sealing
available. These dual acting features also enable it to be used by itself
in low pressure applications as both the rod seal and the wiper.
Knife-trimmed sealing lips ensure the best possible film breaking.
IMPORTANT: When using the AY wiper in conjunction with other
pressure relief of fluid into the system, otherwise a pressure trap
may form between the wiper and rod seal. Suggested rod seal
profile is BT Profile u-cup.

Piston Seal
BP Metric Profile Preferred Profile
BP Profile, Premium TPU Cap Seal

Parkers metric BP profile is a double-acting, squeeze type, piston
seal for use in medium to heavy duty hydraulic applications. The
standard material combination for the profiles components are a TPU
cap in Resilon 4304 polyurethane with improved sliding and high
modulus, and a rectangular cross-section NBR elastomer energizer.
The BP profile is easy to install on a single part piston. The unique cap
design of the BP profile makes the seal insensitive to pressure spikes.
The BP profile is sold only as an assembly (seal and energizer).

Piston Wear Ring........................ C-2
There are times when using standard seal groove dimensions is not
an option. Whether it is for cylinders that have been refinished or off
sized metal, there are some simple calculations to use to determine
what the appropriate groove dimensions should be. The formulas for
calculating custom groove dimensions are included below.
Rod Wear Ring........................... C-3
Piston Gland Custom Groove Calculation

Subtract the standard bore diameter from the next smallest standard bore diameter to determine the Offset
Factor. Apply the Offset Factor to the Groove Diameter, X, and the Shoulder Diameter, Y, as shown below.
Groove Width, Z, will remain unchanged.
Offset Factor Diameter:
Offset = Required
Factor
Bore Diameter
Standard
Bore Diameter
New Groove Diameter, X:

X =
Standard
+ Offset
Groove Diameter
Factor
If the required diameter is smaller than the standard

diameter, a negative Offset Factor will be calculated,
and the piston seal will be compressed. In most
circumstances, Parker advises against compressing
smaller sizes of piston seals to fit oversized bores.
Please contact your local Parker representative for
assistance in these cases.
IMPORTANT: It is necessary to calculate the
additional stretch that the piston seal will be
subjected to. Do this by using the equation below:
New Piston Diameter, Y:
Additional =
Stretch %
Standard
+ Offset
Piston Diameter
Factor
Y =
Offset Factor

X 100
Standard Bore Diameter
Parker recommends that the Additional Stretch

Percentage not exceed 5%. If this percentage
does exceed 5%, please contact your local Parker
representative for assistance.
