Suited for fitting into standard O-Ring grooves or dynamic applications with limited space, Turcon® Roto VL Seal® is intended for constant service in situations where there are rotary, swiveling, or helical movements at medium to high system pressure. This L-shaped Turcon seal, energized by static O-Ring, has non-symmetric, single-acting design that accommodates velocity to 6.5 ft/sec and pressures to 4,350 psi (5,800 psi for short durations or when static).
New Trelleborg Sealing Solutions' Turcon Roto VL Seal - Compact Form Fits Into Smaller Spaces
Fort Wayne, IN- Trelleborg Sealing Solutions launches its new Turcon® Roto VL Seal® which has a uniquely compact design that makes it ideal for specification in dynamic applications where there is limited space or for fitment into standard O-Ring grooves. It is primarily intended for constant service in demanding situations where there are rotary, swiveling or helical movements at medium to high system pressure.
The seal is developed from the proven Turcon® VL Seal®, and like this consists of an L-shaped Turcon® seal that is energized by a static O-Ring. The new Turcon® Roto VL Seal® is a non-symmetric single-acting seal designed to optimize the sealing performance under various pressure and surface velocity conditions.
"A unique feature of the new Turcon® Roto VL Seal® is that, due to decreased hardware requirements, it can be fit into much smaller spaces than traditional rotary seals," says Joe Woods, Fluid Power Segment Manager for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Americas. "It is also an excellent choice where standard O-Ring housing grooves are preferred."
Some applications where the new Turcon® Roto VL Seal® would be found are: rolling mills, machine tools, hydraulic swivels, injection molding machines, valve spindles, food processing (blenders and mixers), hydraulic steering units, forestry machines and cranes, rotators for handling devices, vane actuators/motors, hydraulic motors, hydraulic pumps, propeller thrusters and ROVs (remotely operated vehicles).
Operating Conditions:
o Movement: Rotary, intermittent or oscillating service. Velocity to 2 m/s/ 6.5 feet/s
o Pressure: Up to 30MPa / 4,350psi (40 MPa / 5,800 psi for short durations or when static)
o Temperature:
- Turcon® materials: -40°C / -40°F to +120°C /+248°F (+200°C / +392°F static) according to O-Ring material.
- Zurcon® Z52: -40°C / -40°F to +80°C / +176°F (+100°C / +212°F short durations or static) according to O-Ring material
- Zurcon® Z80: -40°C / -40°F to +60°C / +140°F (+80°C / +176°F short durations or static) according to O-Ring material
o Media: Hydraulic fluids, water-based fluids, air and gases depending on seal material
