Design:

Claron composite seals styles CS1 and CS 3 are designed for use in light duty hydraulic or pneumatic rod applications. Style CS1 covers the range of imperial sizes, and the CS3 metric sizes.

For advice on installation, refer to Appendix.

Materials:

Claron composite seals style CS1 and CS3 as standard comprise of a Virgin PTFE inner sleeve and are energised by a 75° shore hardness Nitrile rubber O-Ring. A full range of materials are available to suit a variety of applications.

See tables in Appendix.

Operating conditions:

Maximum Working Pressure for “Standard” seal applications using specified tolerances. Temp Range:                                  -40°C to +120°C          (Dependent upon energiser material. See Appendix) Max. Pressure:                         350 Bar

Max. Linear Speed:         15m/s

These range parameters are maximum conditional values

Optimum service conditions are affected by temperature, speed pressure, surface finish and extrusion gaps.. Refer to Appendix 1 for further information.

To use this graph, refer to the tables on page for the max. value of ‘F’ at 350 Bar then apply the relevant curve for the various pressures.

The maximum extrusion gap ‘F/2’ should be calculated allowing for all movements due to tolerances,

side-loads and cylinder expansion.

Diametral Clearance ‘F’

‘F’ shown in the size tables is based upon Virgin P.T.F.E., temperatures up to 80oC and 350 Bar pressure in designs where PTFE guide tape is utilised. For other pressures, refer to the graph shown below.

How to order:

When ordering, quote the size reference shown on the dimensions table.

If an energiser material other than the standard nitrile type is required, consult Claron for the part number to be used.

For the seal to function correctly it is important that care is taken during fitting. For details refer to Appendix.\
