U-rings
U-rings are among the most important
seals used in hydraulics and pneumatics.
Their main function is to seal the cylinder
on the piston or piston rod. Whether in
an unpressurised state or under pressure,
they prevent the medium escaping from
the cylinder, thus ensuring the cylinder
function.
Materials, design and placing
sequence must be adapted to the varying
requirements. Whether a U-ring should
be made of pure elastomer or whether it
should have a support ring, if necessary
integrated in a fabric back, depends on
the design of the particular cylinder in
question.
The characteristics which distinguish
U-rings are on the one hand the
geometry of the diameter – here a
distinction is always made between
symmetric and asymmetric designs –
but also in the shape and final
processing of the sealing lips.
Different U-ring geometries and
materials should be chosen for heavyduty applications with high safety
aspects and little movement, e.g. in
derrick cylinders for cranes or hydraulic
cylinders in barrages, than those
required for working cylinders of earthmoving machinery where the focus is on
high resistance to wear. Totally different
designs and materials to those used in
hydraulics are on the other hand
required for pneumatic cylinders.
Symmetrical U-rings can be used as
piston seals as well as piston rod seals.
Asymmetrical U-rings are designed only
as piston or piston rod seals. They are
optimally adapted to the applications.
The function that all U-rings have in
common is diameter energising. The
oversized lips allow them to be pressed
on to the surrounding sealing surface
when built-in, creating linear force
around the circumference: in the seal
groove and on the dynamic side of the
seal, the piston rod and/or the running
surface of the cylinder.
The U-ring’s sealing function is
guaranteed even in this unpressurized
state. The hydraulic liquid is held back
at the sealing site which enables a
further increase in pressure. This pressure
build-up results in the hydraulic contact
pressure of the medium against the seal
lips overriding the energising factor. The
movement of the dynamic side completes
the sealing mechanism. The higher
the liquid pressure, the more intensive
the contact pressure of the seal on the
surrounding surfaces and the greater
the sealing function.
9
The requirements of the task and
the possibilities of the U-ring must be
carefully balanced as these have a
decisive influence on the selection of
the seal and the resulting operating
safety of the system.
Materials
Acrylonitrile-butadiene
caoutchouc – NBR
NBR is the most commonly used
material in all areas of seal
technology due to its good physical
and mechanical characteristics and
its excellent processing abilities.
For U-rings it is used in hardnesses
between 75 and 90 Shore A and for
O-rings as energising elements it is
generally used in 70 Shore A.
This elastomer has the rigidity, hardness
and abrasion resistance necessary
for U-rings.
NBR is resistant to most oils and
mineral oil based fats used in hydraulics
and also to their emulsions with water.
NBR materials have only moderate
resistance against weathering and ozone
influences if they are not specially
developed for these applications.
However, the standard resistance is
sufficient for most applications of U-rings
and their energising elements made
of NBR as with typical applications in
hydraulics, the elastomer surfaces are
moistened with oil or fat. These media
form a stable surface protective layer
and minimise the intensity of ozone
influence.
Generally, the standard NBR 90 quality
which is used for most U-rings can be
applied at temperatures from -30° C to
+100° C. The temperature application
limits for NBR 70 O-rings as energising
elements in U-rings is also from – 30 ° C
to +100 ° C but under special
circumstances for both parts a
temperature as low as – 40 ° C is
still acceptable.
NBR is processed in moulding tools in
various compression and vulcanising
processes to form U-rings or O-rings.
Fabric materials
Fabric materials are textiles or nonspecific fibrous materials which are
impregnated with elastomer materials.
With textiles that have a woven
structure, a distinction is made according
to the thickness or weight per surface
area, known as grammage. Another
distinguishing characteristic is the basic
material these textiles are made of, e.g.
cotton or synthetic fibre. Cotton textile
impregnated with NBR is most frequently
used for the production of standard
U-rings. Apart from the standard
materials, there is a whole range of
other textiles available and almost all
elastomers for impregnation.
Impregnated fabric materials
have numerous advantages over pure
elastomers. The most important are,
compressive creep resistance, extrusion
safety, dimensional stability and low
friction and wear behaviour. They also
show little inclination to swelling in
hydraulic media and are well-suited
to applications at low temperatures.
In a two-stage process, the fabric
materials are preprocessed into slugs
and then vulcanised into seals in a
compression moulding die with heat
application. A multi-component seal
can be produced out of pure elastomer
which is moulded on.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane is one of the group of
elastic thermoplastic materials which
have been established in seal technology
for many years due to their physical
characteristics and efficient processing
features. Polyurethan at a hardness
range of between 65 and 98 Shore A
is used.
Among the most important material
characteristics are its great tensile
strength, good wear resistance, good
10
flexibility at a temperature range from
– 40° C to +100° C and also good
ageing stability against ozone.
The mineral oil based oils and fats
used in hydraulics have a minimal
influence on the physical properties
of Polyurethane.
Polyurethane AU 92
AU 92, with very few exceptions, in
the polyurethane used for U-rings. The
characteristics of this type of material
unite the appropriate rigidity, hardness
and in particular, abrasion resistance
necessary for U-rings. The injection
moulding process applied in most
cases requires complex machinery
and moulding tools and for this reason
is most appropriate for large-scale
production.
Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE)
PTFE has numerous positive
characteristics which have become
indispensable in seal technology. In
particular, we would like to emphasise
the characteristics which are essential
for its application as U-ring material:
PTFE is distinguished by exceptional
rigidity and very good gliding
characteristics. Due to its extremely
low surface energy, it has a very low
coefficient of friction (values of under
0.02 are known) and exceptional
non-bonding, non-wettable contact
surfaces. In addition, its extreme
hydrophobia must be mentioned:
PTFE is absolutely water-repellent.
It is resistant to almost all chemicals
and remains stable within an extremely
wide temperature range. Apart from
this, it is immune to attack by oxygen,
ozone or ultra-violet rays and is
therefore completely resistant to
weathering.
PTFE does not contain any
extractable media which could
11
drift off and adversely affect adjacent
materials. It is therefore physiologically
completely harmless in contact with
foodstuffs and also particularly wellsuited for applications in the
pharmaceutical and medicinal fields.
Combined with different compounds,
PTFE has proved to be excellent
material for U-rings. In particular,
PTFE/carbon with a 15 % – 25 %
proportion of carbon improves the
wear resistance of the material which
already has excellent gliding
characteristics. The pressure hardness
is also increased by this additive.
PTFE alone is only slightly elastic. For
this reason the activation of U-rings is
compensated with elastic energising
elements in the form of stainless steel
springs.
Polyoxymethylene POM
Polyoxymethylene is a thermoplastic
material and is distinguished by its
particularly high pressure load bearing
ability, rigidity and hardness.
Apart from its application as a pure
material, POM can be compounded
with extenders to further improve the
compressive creep resistance and wear
resistance which results in a longer
service life. Due to POM's low water
absorption it is not subjected to any
volume change which is not always
the case with thermoplastics.
Due to its excellent characteristics
under extreme loads, POM is often
processed as a seal accompanying
element, e.g. as a support ring or
a piston guiding element with an
angular design.
With a temperature range from
– 40° C to +100° C, POM can be used
in almost all standard seal application
areas.
Polyoxymethylene is processed by
injection moulding in most cases. The
slugs can also be processed in a chip
removal process.
FPM fluorcaoutchouc
The FPM elastomer is distinguished by
its excellent chemical and temperature
resistance (from – 20° C to +200° C).
It therefore plays an important part as
a U-ring material outside the standard.
Due to the above characteristics it is
essential to use FPM when extremely
high temperatures occur in the
surrounding of the hydraulic cylinder
and highly flammable type D liquids
have to be used.
FPM is generally used in 90 Shore A
and can also be processed in
combination with metal.
General notes
for installation
Although the materials used in our
U-rings are particularly effective and
robust, special care is still required
during installation in order to avoid
mechanical damage especially to the
sealing lip. This would inevitably lead
to leakage. Furthermore, the U-rings
should be checked prior to installation
for damage or ageing that could have
occurred during transportation or
storage. To ensure safe installation, the
following precautions should be taken:
1. Installation of the seal must take
place with the prestressed side facing
the direction of pressure. Particular care
must be taken with compact U-rings as
the prestressed side is not allways easily
recognisable.
2. Lead-in chamfers on the cylinder
and on the piston rod are essential.
The recommended lengths and angles
are given in the installation dimensions
for the various U-rings in this catalogue.
5. Tips of screws and grooves for guide
elements, etc. should be covered using
an installation cone, as the seal must not
be pushed over gaps, drillings or rough
surfaces.
6. Cylinders, rods, seals and installation
tools must be greased or oiled before
installation, giving consideration to
compatibility with the medium.
7. Materials are made smoother and
expand a great deal more easily for
installation if they are heated in oil or
hot water at approx. 80°C, giving
consideration to the resistance.
8. Any tools used for installation,
e.g. cones and mandrels for expansion,
should be made of soft material
(e.g. POM) and not have any sharp
edges.
3. Sharp edges must be deburred
and radii and chamfers applied in
accordance with the installation
guidelines.
4. Dust, dirt, metal chips and any
other foreign particles must be carefully
removed.

Installation housings
The function and service life of a
hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder
depend to a great extent on the sealing
elements used. During operation, these
are subject to various stresses and must
therefore be adapted to the different
requirements in terms of material,
structure and arrangement. The key
criteria are media compatibility and
temperature resistance, pressure, friction,
wear resistance, stroke speed and
frequency as well as service life. Seals,
grooves and wipers should already be
selected in the construction phase of
the cylinder so that the finish of the metal
surfaces and the design and dimensions
of the grooves can be carefully
manufactured in accordance with the
installation housing guidelines.
Rounded corners in the groove base (1)
ensure the correct position of the U-ring
and rounded flanks of the groove’s edges
(2) minimise the risk of the seal moving
into the metal gap. The suitable surface
finish of the groove base (3) and the
groove flanks (4), adherence to the
tolerances for the groove width (5),
the lead-in chamfer (6) and the
dimensions of the seal gap on the side
opposite the pressure (7), as well as the
surface finish of the opposed surface (8),
play a major role in ensuring the optimal
service life of the seals.
U-rings can generally be installed in
cut housing grooves. However, wider
profiles and particularly small inner
diameters require an axial opening to
the housing. The fit must be taken into
consideration accordingly, which requires
special experience. Should you require
advice, please contact our technical department.
Sufficient guiding for the pistons and
the piston rods must be ensured, as
seals can never perform guiding tasks.
Wipers ensure that no foreign particles
enter the medium system of a cylinder
that could destroy the seals. In order to
retain a clean system and to protect the
environment against oil pollution, no
hydraulic cylinder should be used
without a wiper.

Function
The MA 13 is a single function piston
seal and is particularly well-suited for
cylinders with one-sided pistons. Its
effective sealing function results from
its compact design. It is provided with
radial self energising which is activated
by the hydraulic system pressure.
Due to the high proportion of fabric in

back provides very effective protection
against fission extrusion.
The elastomer serves as an energising
element in the seal head and produces
constant contact pressure of the sealing
lips on the adjacent surface. For this
reason, the sealing function is fully
retained even at low and zero pressure.

effective due to the sealing lips being
provided with radial self energising
which is activated by the system pressure.
Due to the symmetrical sealing lips
and the proportion of fabric in the seal
profile, this U-ring displays much less
frictional behaviour than the classic
elastomer seal. The fabric back
stabilises the profile and the semi-active
support ring on the inner diameter
protects against fission extrusion.

the other dimensions listed are not
standard and although also available at
short notice may be subject to a minimum
purchasing quantity.
In addition, we are able to produce any
other dimensions required. For operating
conditions other than the standard
applications, other polyurthane materials
are available.
With an inner diameter of less than 25

MA 41
piston rod seal with asymmetrical seal

on the inner diameter and the seal unit
has an integrated support ring.
Standard materials
Polyurethane AU 92

Area of application
Hydraulics
reciprocating movements
extreme loads
Function
The MA 41 is a single function piston
rod seal in the form of a U-ring. Its
excellent suitability for extreme loads,
which is for example required for
application in the working cylinders
of heavy earth-moving machines, is
provided by the synergy between the
geometric of this seal and the special
material characteristics of polyurethane.
It guarantees effective sealing at low
and zero pressures as well as the most
difficult operational conditions which
would overload conventional elastomer
or fabric seals. The second seal lip
supports the sealing function on the
upward stroke of the rod and also wipes
remaining dirt from the atmospheric side
on the downward stroke of the rod. The
semi-active support ring on the inner
diameter protects against fission extrusion.

which, due to its symmetrical seal lips,
can be applied as a piston and piston
rod seal. Its sealing function is very
effective as the seal lips are provided
with radial self-energising which is
activated by the system pressure. Its
compact design and the excellent
material characteristics of polyurethane
guarantee effective sealing on the one
hand at low as well as high pressure
loads and, on the other, a particularly
long service life.

Running speed (m/s): up to 15
Area of application
All areas of general mechanical
and apparatus engineering,
chemical engineering and process
technology,
hydraulics and pneumatics,
reciprocating movements
Installation
We generally recommend split seal
housing. In a limited range, half-open
or closed housing is also possible.
Please also follow the general installation
instructions on page 12 of this catalogue
or ask our advice.
Function
The MA 43 is a single function piston
rod seal in the form of a U-ring with
seal lips of varying design. These
achieve optimal sealing strength and
reduce friction. This results in the seal
having an exceptionally long service life.
The metal spring permanently activates
the seal lips which guarantees zero
leakage even in an unpressurized state.
As a result of the exceptionally positive
material characteristics of PTFE, there
is no stick slip movement of the rod at
differing stroke speeds, even during a
single cycle and with extremely slight
movements. Total lack of leakage with
regard to media viscosity and its
hydrodynamic dragging behaviour as
well as dependable functioning in high
temperature, speed and pressure areas
characterise these seals. They are used
as piston rod seals in hydraulics and
pneumatics.
Remarks
The nominal widths marked in red on
the following pages represent standard
dimensions. They are generally in stock
or can be delivered at short notice. In
addition, we are able to produce any
other dimensions required. For operating
conditions other than the standard
applications, further PTFE compounds
and V springs made of ELGILOY ® are
available. The use of PTFE compounds
in the pharmaceutical and foodstuffs
industries is completely harmless.
However, in this case, the spring housing
of the seal should be filled completely
with a flexible silicone casting compound
so that a smooth surface is formed.

placing your orders.
