Multifunctional sealing elements offer numerous advantages for the user. They provide ready-to-install solutions that can be assembled with minimal effort. In service applications, they help prevent counterfeit spare parts, as their typically more complex design makes them difficult to replicate. In operation, additional sealing and fastening elements can often be eliminated, resulting in more streamlined and cost-effective designs.
Pistons can be equipped not only with the traditional functions of sealing and guiding, but also with threads, wrench flats, O-ring grooves, leakage ports, stop surfaces, and other functional features.
