Solosele^® SW

• Robust double-acting seal for use on split-type piston heads
• Recommended for medium-to-heavy duty applications
• Fully moulded sealing element with integral anti-extrusion elements to reduce seal wear and extend working life
• Rigid thermoplastic wear/bearing rings allow for larger clearances, and prolong seal life under side loads
• Eliminates the need for bearing strips, thus reducing housing sizes

Split piston heads in double-acting hydraulic applications of medium- to heavy-duty. The compact design of this seal recommends it for applications where space is at at premium, especially under side loads and where clearances are large.

• Temperature range (standard materials): -20°C to +100°C (-4°F to +212°F)
• Temperature limits (special materials): down to -45°C (-49°F) with low nitrile (NBR), or up to +200°C (+392°F) with fluorocarbon (FKM)
• Maximum surface speed: 0.5 m/s (98.4 fpm). Please contact us for use at higher speeds.

Elastomeric core

• Standard material: medium nitrile (NBR)
• Special materials: low nitrile (NBR), or fluorocarbon (FKM)

Anti-extrusion elements

• Standard material: cotton fabric proofed with a blend of synthetic rubbers
• Special materials: cotton fabric proofed with a blend of synthetic rubber for use with low nitrile (NBR). Fabric proofed with fluorocarbon (FKM) for use with seal core of fluorocarbon (FKM).

Wear/bearing rings

• Standard material: thermoplastic

Standard materials

• Suitable for use with most mineral-based hydraulic fluids and most fire-resistant fluids of the water/oil emulsion or water/glycol types at temperatures up to 100°C (212°F). They also resist air, water and most lubricating oils and greases.

Special materials

• Considerably extend the range of applications in terms of temperature and fluid compatibility. Please contact us for advice.

• Readily available in standard materials to fit popular housing sizes. In addition, we hold a substantial library of mould tools for non-standard metric and inch sizes in our standard materials. Seals of non-standard sizes - or in special materials - are manufactured to order, but tooling charges may be incurred.
• Fitting instructions are supplied with every seal.
