Checklist for Hydraulic RAM Seals

We stock a wide range of Hydraulic RAM Seals and other commonly used items.

To ensure the desired function and long working life of a ram seal, we make sure the necessary installation process is undertaken at our workshops. For example:

The appropriate ram seal material with good compatibility is selected for a specific application.
A preferred material for ease of fabrication will be selected for the hydraulic seal.
The ram seal contact surface should be fine finished and throughly polished.
The clearance between the ram seal and the sealing surface should be kept small enough in order to prevent the seal from squeezing in between the clearance gap.
The cylinder piston rod ram seals should wipe out all undesired contaminants from entering the system as they are the main source of oil contamination.
During the mounting process, we ensure the ram seals are not tilted due to the quality of the piston rod in order to prevent their premature failure.
For a longer service life of the ram seal, proper cleaning of the seal and sealing surface should be carried out frequently.
