Low-friction seals lead to high machine efficiency

In our continuing mission to report on all aspects of fluid power systems, our editors have prepared an article that appears in our September 2010 issue of H&P titled the above. Click there for the digital edition.

This article explains how just the right amount of friction leads to highest efficiency and maximum sealing. It also announces a new sealing compound.

For more in-depth information on fluid power sealing devices, you can visit our Sealing Technology Zone on the Hydraulics & Pneumatics website. Here you will find archived articles, technical data from our Fluid Power Basics section, and press releases on sealing products that have appeared in H&P.
