Background
Hydraulic cylinder manufacturers are constantly being challenged to provide product with dry running rods. Between government regulations and customer satisfaction, a solution was needed to improve the hydraulic rod sealing package.
Problem
A major hydraulic cylinder manufacturer was experiencing leaking rod seals on the construction job site. This led to a need for maintenance on the equipment, cutting into efficiencies and driving up costs.
Solution
Parker Engineered Materials Group was able to offer a zero-leak hydraulic rod seal solution using Parker seals. Integral to the design of a zero-leak seal package was the use of Parker's Resilon 4300 polyurethane material.
