The Significance of Seal Saver
29 April, 2010- For hydraulic users,
damaged wiper seals and cylinder rods are a persistent problem.
Generally, the dents and gouges on the external physical surface of a
hydraulic cylinder rods diminish the shelf life of cover seal and paves
an easy path for dust and other foreign contaminants to enter the
hydraulic machine. Every single
particle that enters the system acts like a lapping compound starting a
vicious chain of wear and tear within the hydraulic machinery.
Seal Saver can come handy to tackle this problem. It is actually a safeguarding or protective cylinder rod cover which has already been developed and patented. A seal saver is very different from the the typical bellows boot which is popular among the hydraulic system users. It is a long piece of a reliable material which can be wrapped around the hydraulic cylinder and closed with the help of Velcros at the either end of the long strip. With this it is clamped onto the rod end and cylinder body making the installation a relatively simple process without the requirement of any disassembly of hydraulic cylinder components.
As a cylinder rod strokes, the seal saver actually makes a protective layer across the cylinder rod avoids the heaping up of contaminants around the wiper seal which is a common factor of seal damage, rod scoring and ingress of contaminants. According to various researches, the cost of the removal of contaminants from the hydraulic system is em times more than the cost of exclusion. Thus, Seal Saver is a cost-benefiting, proactive system maintenance solution as it is combined with the advantages of extended hydraulic cylinder rod and seal life.
