Rod Buffer Seals Design
Rod Buffer Seals are engineered to provide a secure seal for the sliding motion between a cylinder head and piston rod, withstanding changes in pressure during operation while maintaining the seal. They also provide a thin lubrication film on the piston rod that protects against corrosion while keeping the rod and wipers lubricated.
Our product line includes:
- DYR style – U-cup shaped urethane rod buffer seal that can withstand pressure up to 8,000 psi, temperatures from -40°F to 230°F, and speeds of 3 ft./second. Available in standard sizes.
- KR and MKR styles – PTFE rod buffer seal with an external rubber energizer that can withstand pressure up to 5,000 psi, temperatures from -40°F to 220°F, and speeds of 12 ft./second. KR is available in standard sizes and MKR is available in metric sizes.
- RBS style – Rectangular urethane rod buffer seal that can withstand pressure up to 5,000 psi, temperatures from -40°F to 200°F, and speeds of 3 ft./second. Available in standard sizes.
- MIR style – Polyurethane rod buffer seal configured with a flat single seal that can withstand pressure up to 7,200 psi, temperatures from -30°F to 230°F, and speeds of 1.5 ft./second. Available in metric sizes.
- MYKR style – PTFE rod buffer seal with an external nitrile energizer, designed with special slots in the outer ring to ensure an excellent seal. The MYKR rod buffer seal can withstand pressure up to 5,000 psi, temperatures from -40°F to 220°F, and speeds of 12 ft./second. Available in metric sizes.
- MYR style – U-cup shaped urethane rod buffer seal that can withstand pressure up to 7,000 psi, temperatures from -40°F to 220°F, and speeds of 3 ft./second. Available in metric sizes.
