Wipers protect sealing points from dust and dirt contamination. They are vital for the proper functioning of hydraulic units where piston rods retract back into the system.
Wipers do not only protect the seal; the piston rod and spindle would also suffer under the increasing contamination. This reduces efficiency and may even lead to damages where these parts have to be replaced. Wipers hence protect the whole sealed system against grooving and wear.
Abrasion-resistant materials, which are used to manufacture the wipers, guarantee a reliable wiping function and long service life. Wipers often replace bellows and similar dust protection solutions. Depending on the choice of material they are resistant to oils, greases, water petrol and other media
If the standard dimensions do not fit your application we are able to manufacture wipers to your exact specifications and wishes.
