PLYMOUTH, Mich., Feb. 20, 2008 - To address evolving industry challenges and requirements, Simrit - the industrial sealing products division of Freudenberg-NOK and a global supplier of elastomeric seals and custom molded products - will announce its latest material and design solutions during a technical paper presentation at the 2008 International Exposition for Power Transmission (IFPE).
Joel Johnson, vice president of technology for Simrit, will discuss the company's proprietary material and design solutions in a presentation titled "Wide Range Temperature, Pressure and Fluid Resistant Hydraulic Cylinder Sealing Systems" on Friday, March 14 at 2:30 p.m. in room S-229 located in the South Hall, Level Two, Bridge Meeting Complex.
Increasing industry challenges - including temperature and hydrolysis resistance, and bio-friendly fluid compatibility - continue to drive demands for better performing seal designs and materials. During his presentation, Johnson will describe Simrit's new global materials - including NOK U641 urethane, G928 HNBR and NOK UH05 urethane - as well as a unique sealing design that offers high pressure system ability which meets industry and customer needs.
The new Simrit materials offer high temperature resistance (up to 120 degrees Celsius / 248 degrees Fahrenheit), are compatible with bio-fuels and resistant to hydrolysis and glycolysis. The new advancements presented by Johnson will help fluid power engineers design more robust cylinders for use in a variety of applications.
