What is a Spring Energy Storage Seal

Spring energy storage seals have been widely used in places with extremely high requirements for durability, chemical resistance and working under extreme temperatures. Spring energy storage seals can choose conventional products according to user needs, and can also be customized and developed. They are widely recognized in various industries. Spring energy storage seals can reduce friction, work in harsh environments, reduce maintenance downtime and extend the working life of equipment.

What is a spring energy storage seal

Working Principle

The spring energy storage seal is a pressure-assisted sealing device composed of a polytetrafluoroethylene (or other polymer material) jacket and an energy storage spring. Both the jacket and the energy storage spring have excellent corrosion resistance. When the spring energy storage seal is installed in the sealing groove, the spring is compressed, causing the lip of the jacket to fit tightly against the sealing groove, thereby forming a seal. The spring provides permanent elastic force to the sealing jacket and compensates for material wear and offset or eccentricity of mating parts. The system pressure also assists the sealing jacket in storing energy. Through the spring elastic force and system pressure, effective sealing can be achieved regardless of high or low pressure. Spring energy storage seals are widely used in dynamic and static movements.

Performance advantages of spring-energized seals

Spring energy storage seals with wide chemical corrosion resistance, temperature resistance and pressure resistance provide users with a wide range of solutions under harsh working conditions.
Excellent performance of spring energy storage seals:
• Jacket material certified by N0RS0RK M710;
• Obtained low leakage ISO15848-1 and Shell MSE77-312 standard certification, meeting the most demanding fugitive leakage requirements;
• Low friction coefficient, effectively reducing wear, self-lubricating, low torque;
• -268℃ to +316℃ operating temperature
• Able to withstand high pressure below 350MPa
• Anti-aging, no permanent elastic deformation
• Greatly improve sealing ability and service life
