Spring-energized seals are a type of sealing solution designed to provide reliable performance in a wide range of applications, extreme temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive environments.

Design

Seal Jacket: The main body of the seal, typically made polymer such as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), PEEK (Polyether ether ketone), or other advanced materials that offer excellent chemical resistance, low friction, and high temperature stability.

Spring Energizer: stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys

Types of Springs

Cantilever Spring: Provides high load and is often used in applications requiring high sealing forces.

Helical Spring: Offers moderate load and is versatile for various applications.

V-Spring (V-Ring): Delivers a low to moderate load and is suitable for dynamic sealing applications.

Advantages

Self-Adjusting: The spring compensates for wear, thermal expansion, and contraction, maintaining consistent sealing performance.

Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for applications with extreme temperature variations.

Chemical Resistance: The materials used in the seal jacket and spring are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making them ideal for harsh environments.

Low Friction: The seal materials typically have low friction properties, reducing wear and extending the life of the seal.

Versatility: Can be used in both static and dynamic applications, including rotary and reciprocating movements.

Applications

• Aerospace
• Oil and Gas: In drilling equipment, valves, and pumps where high pressure and corrosive environments are common.
• Automotive: In engines and transmissions
• Medical Devices: In equipment that requires high levels of cleanliness and resistance to aggressive cleaning agents.
• Chemical Processing: In pumps, mixers, and valves
