Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has launched the Turcon® Wedgpak® – a high integrity, elastomer contact seal that provides slipper seal-like performance with low static and dynamic friction. The unique seal provides effective fluid-film control and gas sealing in both low and high pressure systems.
Turcon® Wedgpak® consists of a proprietary triangular elastomer element supported by two delta-shaped Back-up Rings that prevent the elastomer element from spiraling or rolling under severe working conditions.
An outstanding load profile is the result of seal squeeze combined with the angles of the elastomer and Back-up Ring in the bi-directional Turcon® Wedgpak®. The optimized elastomer contact area results in a slipper seal-like performance with low static and dynamic friction. At the same time, the elastomer wipes the hardware surface efficiently.
Though originally designed as a static seal, Turcon® Wedgpak® is proven in dynamic applications such as complex valves, piston actuators and hydraulic cylinders – specifically those requiring low break-out operation.
