When developing seals, it is highly advantageous to involve us in the development process from the very beginning. Our team of experts can accurately assess the requirements your application places on the seal or plain bearing concept, whether under high pressure, extreme temperatures, chemical exposure, or completely dry-running conditions. We are familiar with the relevant standards and understand the requirements for hygiene and dead-leg-free design. Abbreviations such as FDA, 3-A, NSF, MOCA, KTW, EHEC, ATEX, LABS-free, and CIP are part of our everyday business.
Our Services Include, Among Others:
- Development of the overall sealing concept best suited to the application
- Conversion of solutions using PTFE (compounds) to PFAS-free components
- Design of lip and bellows geometries
- Definition of interference fits and preloads in dynamic and static applications
- Auswahl des richtigen Werkstoffs (Kunststoff, Elastomer, Metall etc.)
- Recommendation for the design of the appropriate mating surface
- Integration of functions from adjacent components
- Detailed design of the seal and adjacent components with precise interface definition, including specification of tolerances
- Design of assembly and disassembly fixtures
- Definition of (returnable) packaging concepts
- Failure analysis in cases of premature wear, leakage, or complete failure
- Optimization of existing systems with regard to service life and manufacturing costs
Our Approach:
Even for seemingly unsolvable challenges, we can almost always work with you to develop a functional sealing concept while taking the available installation space into account. We think beyond conventional solutions and integrate functions of adjacent components, resulting in a reduced number of parts, simplified assembly, and high-quality replacement parts.
Our continuous technical support and unwavering commitment to ongoing optimization ensure that our components meet the highest standards. A particular focus of our work is the replacement of PTFE, PVDF, and other fluoropolymers with sustainable, PFAS-free materials.
