High performance PTFE spring energized seals are on the cutting edge of sealing technology. Working in applications which traditional seals fail due to friction, high temperatures, media compatibility and high pressure. Many engineers turn to high performance spring-loaded seals in place of traditional seals for several additional reasons: longer product reliability, customer satisfaction, better performance, lower down time and less maintenance costs. Spring energized seals function with system pressure. The system pressure assists the springs in holding the sealing legs in position, resulting in a positive seal during wear and slight misalignment, maintaining a leak tight environment.

Eon Technologies offers several types of seal configurations with different spring types, depending on your particular application.

200 series Helical Ribbon Spring

The 200 Series family of seals has many years of performance history. These designs are available in many configurations to give you the best performance a seal can offer. This particular seal is perfect for slow speed or static applications. The coil spring has moderate to high load vs. deflection. This makes the 200 Series a great choice for sealing thin liquids or gases. The 200 Series is also excellent in high pressure applications and offers optional elastomer (O-ring) energizer, in place of the coiled ribbon spring, and may be used with back-up rings.

400 series U-shaped Cantilever Spring

The 400 Series is a low load vs. deflection seal. This seal series is used very often when friction is a critical factor in the overall performance of a customer's unit. This versatile design can be used in the medical and food industries, when cleanliness is necessary, just by adding silicone in the spring cavity. This keeps contaminants out of the spring cavity, making cleaning that much easier. Another advantage of this spring type is the capability of increased dynamic run-out and hardware tolerances.

 

Eon Technologies' seals are designed for standard military MIL-G-5514F and industrial fractional grooves. Recommendations and custom design are available for piston seals, rod seals, inside/outside face seals, seals with flanges, dynamic, static and all grove designs.
