OmniSeal® Radial Seals

OmniSeal® Radial Seals

OmniSeal® radial seals are used in rod and piston sealing applications, typically designed for uni-directional pressure sealing. Radial seals are commonly used for static service, reciprocating and rotary motions. OmniSeal® radial seals are designed to fit in all standard hardware glands such as MIL-G-5514, AS 4716, Industrial, Metric, JIS and custom gland sizes.

OmniSeal® 400A Radial Seals

OmniSeal® 400A utilizes a cantilevered finger spring design which provides more dynamic runout and wider gland tolerances. Seal friction is reduced substantially, yet remains consistent with positive sealing in both low and high pressures. Larger cross sections up to 3/4" are also available.

OmniSeal® Spring Ring II Radial Seals

OmniSeal® Spring Ring II is also a cantilever design, a special version of the OmniSeal 400A. It is available in smaller sizes limited to less than 1" diameter, and for gland cross sections 1/16", 3/32" and 1/8". OmniSeal Spring Ring II is intended for high-volume, low-cost production.

OmniSeal® 103A Radial Seals

OmniSeal® 103A is a refinement of the original spring energized seal design. The helical coil wound flat spring offers a moderate to high spring load for static and slow to moderate speed dynamic sealing. It has higher friction than the 400A Series, but better sealing of light liquids and gases.

OmniSeal® APS Radial Seals

OmniSeal® APS (Advanced Pitch Spring) utilizes a slant coiled wire spring design that has a light load and characteristics of a wide range of deflection while producing an almost constant spring load. This feature permits a large wear allowance in the seal jacket while maintaining an effective sealing load. Also, the spring can be wound in extremely small coil diameters, which makes this type of seal ideal for small cross section and small diameter seal applications. The low stressed spring makes it possible to deform the seal, allowing for assembly of rod seals into most closed glands without damaging the spring.

OmniSeal® RP II Radial Seals

OmniSeal® RP II utilizes a wrapped and formed ribbon spring. The design offers the utmost in spring deflection for otherwise difficult sealing applications and may be used for static sealing, as well as slow dynamic reciprocating and slow rotary motion. The OmniSeal RP II seal is one of the most rugged of all Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics seals and will often work under the most severe mechanical conditions when other designs fail. Also available in larger cross sections.

OmniSeal® Fluoroloy® Jacket Materials

OmniSeal® products utilize Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics' Fluoroloy® trademarked materials for its seal jacket. Fluoroloy compounds are proprietary blends of premium PTFE resins and fillers, processed for optimum performance. They provide chemically-resistant, low-friction, longer wear life, high and low temperature capability to meet the most demanding applications.

OmniSeal® Special Seal Designs

For more than 30 years, Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has dedicated its engineering efforts to solving difficult and unique sealing problems. From bi-directional seals, anti-blowout seals, to special formed seals, we have the experience and capability to provide custom seal designs to meet all of your application needs.

OmniSeal® Spring Energizer Materials

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has eight different designs of metal spring energizers for use in the OmniSeal® seals. Each spring design has unique characteristics in load and deflection range to meet all friction requirements while providing optimum sealing ability and seal life. OmniSeal products also employ other energizer types.
