We have an extensive range of commonly used U-Cups on stock in our warehouse and are furthermore able to directly manufacture special designs according to your wishes. The manufacturing service is available in standard or express format.
Our U-Cup seals can be used in temperatures ranging from -50℃ up to and including 230℃ and withstand operating pressures of up to 800 bar. Specified properties can be achieved through different cross-sectional shapes, angles and wall strengths. The most important parameters which have to be considered are friction, installation space, maximum pressure, operating temperature and chemical resistance requirements.
In relation to the seals side which is in contact with the moving surface, the U-Cups are classified according to function as either internally or externally sealing. Externally sealing U-Cups are generally cheaper, as the production is faster and less abrasive on the material.
We produce U-Cup seals according to your application requirements in all possible dimensions and standards.
