Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is extremely important in critical seal design. JST conducted PR2 tests as per API6A, as well as FEA to its FS seal, S seal, valve stem packing seal, valve face seal. So why FEA is important and necessary? FEA capabilities make possible: 1. Seal failure prediction from cracks, leaks, or deformation, allowing a better-designed product or reverse-engineering of existing...

JST's Spring Energized Seals, also called Lip Seals, are normally comprised of a machined polymer jacket and a spring energizer. They are available for rod, piston, and rotary applications, and can be manufactured in a variety of polymer materials depending on each application requirement. Our seals can be made of different PTFE materials, from Virgin PTFE or PTFE with fillers of di...

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) material is widely used in hydraulic and pneumatic seals. PTFE gets high melting point in excess of 300℃, has good resistance to ageing, as well as low coefficient of friction. PTFE seals are used to enhance friction capabilities, withstand high pressure applications, and extend seal life in applications outside the parameters of elastomeric seal use. We offer a rang...

JST Seals produces a full range of spring energized seals that are used in a wide range of applications. The Spring Energized Seals are normally comprised of a machined polymer jacket and a spring energizer. The polymer jacket can be made of different materials, from Virgin PTFE or PTFE with fillers, to PEEK and UHMWPE seals profiles. Spring configurations such as helical spring energized seals, s...

Valve seals precisely control the amount of oil entering the valve stem system, making them critical components in maintaining your engine’s compression levels. Having a valve stem seal that works correctly within any of your applications can save you time and money by eliminating the need for lengthy engine repairs and replacements. But how to install valve stem seals, please see below. Installat...

Spring energized seal, also called spring loaded seal can select V-shape, H-shape or C-shape spring forms and sealing lip design according to various applications such as dynamic and static or internal and external pressure, so as to produce different sealing force and compressible deformation (see the following figure: spring deformation / elastic curve). The spring force will affect the performa...

A correct installation can prolong the life cycle of the seal ring. We have following suggestions when install the spring energized seal. Preparation before installation: 1. Check whether the surface finish of the groove meets the requirements; 2. Clean the sealing ring and groove surface with dust-free cotton cloth; 3. Check whether the installation chamfer is smooth and free of burrs. Installati...
