Choosing the right pneumatic sealing solution for your industry

Sealing specifications can provide very unique challenges when it comes to pneumatic applications. The main challenge is that most applications do not have standard dimensions often making it difficult to find the exact right solution in the automation of valves and cylinders.

What is pneumatic equipment? Pneumatic originally originates from the Greek language and is used to describe a branch of engineering that uses gas or pressurised air. Pneumatic systems are commonly powered by compressed air or gasses to produce mechanical motions which play a huge part in our everyday lives. The most popular application industry is automotive and seals are often required in larger amounts, meaning that a reliable and high-quality manufacturer is required to deliver innovative solutions to withstand harsh environments. However, many of use equipment powered by pneumatic technology every day without realising, including: Exercise machines Inflatable structures (balloons, bouncy castles etc) Pneumatic tyres on many different vehicles Pressing keys on a keyboard Application range However, pneumatic sealing solutions are growing in demand and this means that other industries are also seeking high-quality elastomer seals. Application areas include: Industrial Chemical processing Food and dairy Domestic/ consumer applications (e.g. power tools, furniture etc) Automotive Oil & gas Medical With a broad range of industries requiring seals for pneumatic applications, they also need to have specific features, omit diameter ranges from 1mm to 500mm and to be able to withstand temperatures from -40° to 200°C.
