Select the right seals for the job
One of the intentions of our Fluid Power Technology Conference is to inform our audience of the many factors that lead to the proper selection of components for any fluid power system. That selection includes seals and sealing devices.
On Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at 2:00 pm EDT, Josh Cosford who is one of our regular presenters will explain the factors that should be considered for seal selection,
From complex to simple: sizing and selection of fluid power seals
It is important to understand the complexities of seal materials, types and designs for use in fluid power application. This session will be a primer on the basics of sealing systems and products specific to the fluid power industry. Josh will discuss general fluid power seal applications, including mounting locations and fluid compatibility. As well, machine dynamics play a part in seal selection, especially comparing both dynamic or static loads. Finally, Josh will cover how environmental factors affect seal selection, especially when there is a need for long life or resistance to extreme temperatures.
