Defining Your Application Geometry.

Generally speaking, there are two major considerations that determine the seal profile for an application: geometry and environment.

Defining the geometry of your application means describing what you intend for the seal to do mechanically in the application, and how you envision the seal's placement in the application. In other words, we need to know how much room there is in the application to mount the seal, and how far the seal will need to "stroke" to meet the striking surface.

As you step through the next pages, you will be 'walked' through the design application process. There will be additional pages to gather information about your particular application. On the final page, contact information and requirements will be requested, and the information will be submitted to one of our Sales Engineers for quotation. Please be sure to include the units of measure when defining the application below.
