Typical hydraulic cylinder layout showing installation features to be considered for satisfactory seal life.

Our quality control methods for materialand manufacturing processes ensurethat all seals leaving our factories are ina condition capable of giving a long andreliable service life.

We have found from many yearsexperience, that premature seal failurecan be avoided if the followingrecommendations are considered at thedesign and manufacturing stage of thecylinder:

1 Specify piston and gland bearingswhich are adequately proportioned tosupport the cylinder loads.

As a result of mountingmisalignments and / or the workingaction of the cylinder, piston andgland bearings will be subjected toside-loading, causing damage to therod or the tube surface and hence theseal, if the bearings are inadequate.

2 Ensure that seals are storeddistortion free in a cool, dry and darkplace prior to fitting.(See page 17)

3 Check that the seal housing is freefrom damage likely to harm the seal.

Remove all sharp edges and burrsfrom metal parts, paying particularattention to ports, grooves andthreads over or through which theseal passes during assembly.

4 Clean all seal housing areas, ensuringthat all metallic particles and othercontaminants have been removed.Check that other surfaces adjacent tothe passage of the seal on fitting arealso free of dirt, swarf or othercontaminants. Check that both staticand dynamic housing surface finishesmeet specifications.

5 Where the difference between athread diameter over which the sealmust pass and the seal diameter issmall, use some form of protectionover the thread, such as a fittingsleeve made of hard plastic.

6 Check that the seal is of the correcttype, part number and size, and thatthe specified material is correct. Ifthere is any doubt regarding thematerial contact your local Hallitesales office.

7 Lubricate all seals and metalcomponents liberally with cleanoperating fluid or a compatible greaseprior to assembly. N.B. Siliconegrease should not be used in normalhydraulic applications.

8 Where seals fitted to sub-assemblies,such as pistons, are awaiting furtherfitting operations, ensure that theseals are not subjected to anymisaligned or localised loading whichwill cause local deformation. Ensurethat sub-assemblies remain clean.

9 The use of metal levers is notrecommended but should they beused it is imperative that they arecompletely smooth and free fromnicks and burrs. When using themensure that the metal surfacesadjacent to the seal are not damaged.

10 Flush the hydraulic systemthoroughly before connecting thecylinder to it.

From many years of applicationexperience with sealing hydraulicequipment, supported by the resultsfrom an extensive test programme, weknow that it is necessary to link thethree main operating features of speed,pressure, and temperature to achieve asatisfactory seal performance. Aftercarefully considering each product weare able to specify the maximum speedand pressure with a temperature rangewithin which the seal will operatesafely.

Housing Design

Extrusion is closely linked to pressure and temperature. Ingeneral, the best seal performance and life is provided byspecifying the smallest possible extrusion gap.

The figures shown for the extrusion gap within the operatingconditions of Hallite’s product data sheets, relate to themaximum permissible, worst case situation with the gap allon one side.

Hallite Seals’ product data sheets give information indicatingthe allowable extrusion gap a seal can see at pressure duringits working life. The extrusion gap can be calculated using thetolerance build ups within the cylinder and any dilation thatmay occur under pressure.

Maximum extrusion gap = F max (see drawing below).

F max is the maximum extrusion gap for the seal

Minimum metal to metal clearance = F min (see drawingbelow).

F min for cylinders with minimal side loading should be> 0.1mm (0.004”).

Calculate both F max and F min.

Ensure the F min is greater than 0.1mm (0.004”) and F max isless than the maximum extrusion gap stated on the seal datasheet at the application’s working pressure.

For built-in metal bearings, the extrusion gap calculation issimpler.

Housing Design

This should be read in conjunction with the section Housing Designs in the Hallite Fluid Power Seal Catalogue

Extrusion gaps and metal-to-metal clearance

The use of remote bearing strips, such as Hallite 506, often creates a conflict between maximising the metal-to-metal clearance, toavoid metal-to-metal contact, and minimising the extrusion gap for the seal. The design decisions that have to be made in thisrespect are not trivial. The following examples show the effects of looser and tighter tolerances on the minimum metal-to-metalclearance and the maximum extrusion gap. The values have been calculated using the housing design formulae. No allowance hasbeen made for the deflection of the bearings under side load, and, in the case of the piston examples, for the cylinder dilation.

Surface roughness

Mean line

Bore surface finishes can be more problematic. The typical methods of obtaining a bore finish aresummarised in the figure below. Drawn over mandrel (DOM)tubing, as is, can be adequate, or a potential disasterdepending on the actual surface texture achieved and theapplication. Increasing use is being made of Special SmoothInside Diameter (SSID) DOM tubing, but in certaincircumstances, mainly when the seal is being driven into thepressure, it can lead to wear of the seal through flow erosion.Such DOM tubing requires careful specification. Theconsistency of roller burnished or honed tube is to bepreferred. Skived and roller burnished tubing is very smooth(less than 0.1µm Ra) (4 µin CLA) and may be too smooth forrubber sealing elements in some applications. True honedtube, produced between (0.1 and 0.4 µm Ra) (4-16 µin CLA) isthe most expensive, but has the best finish.

Static surface finishes

The static sealing surface finish must not be ignored in thecontrol of leakage. Generally, these are fine turned andshould be free from chatter marks.

Surface roughness has a very important influence on the lifeand leakage performance of a recipricating sealing system.

Note : The vertical scale is 40 times the Horizontal scale

Definitions

Many parameters can be used to describe surface finishesand these are explained in ISO 4287 and ISO 4288. Those inmost common use in the fluid power industry include:-

Ra, which is defined as the arithmetical mean deviation of theassessed profile. The inch equivalent parameter is CLA(centre line average). A surface finish of 0.4 µm Ra is exactlyequivalent to 16 µin CLA.

Rt, which is the total height of the profile.There is nomathematical relationship between Ra and Rt.

Rq, which is the root mean square deviation of the assessedprofile. The equivalent term in inches is RMS (Root MeanSquare). The Rq (RMS) of a surface is approximately 10%greater than the Ra (CLA) value.

The surface roughness parameters given above do not giveany indication of the sharpness of the surface. The peaks ofthe profile should be well rounded as sharp surface finishescan lead to rapid seal wear.

Dynamic surface finishes

Piston rods are generally hard chrome plated. The hardnessshould be at least 67 Rockwell C. This gives an excellenttribological surface and provided the rods are produced by anestablished supplier within a surface finish range of 0.1 to 0.3µm Ra (4-12 µin CLA) no major problem should ensue,although the optimum surface finish may well depend on theseal material.

Storage of seals

Storage conditions

Most polymeric items including vulcanized rubber and otherelastomers tend to change their properties during storageand may become unserviceable. This may be due tohardening, softening, cracking, crazing or other degradationand may be the result of oxygen, ozone, light, heat and/orhumidity.

The following recommendations indicate the most suitableconditions for storing elastomeric items, whether as a singleitem or composite product.

1 TemperatureStorage temperatures should not exceed 50º C (120ºF).Low temperatures are not permanently harmful providedthe rubber items are handled carefully and not distorted.When taken from low temperatures items should be raisedto approximately 30ºC ( 70ºF)before they are used.

2 HumidityOptimum humidity is about 65% in a draft-freeatmosphere.

3 LightProtection from direct sunlight and strong artificial lightwith a high ultraviolet content is important. Unless packedin opaque containers, it is advisable to cover windows withred or orange screens or coatings.

4 Oxygen and OzoneElastomeric items should be protected from circulating airwherever possible. As ozone is particularly harmful torubber, storage rooms should be free from equipment thatmay give rise to electric sparks or discharge. Wrapping,storage in airtight containers or other suitable meansshould be used for vulcanised rubber items.

5 DeformationWhere possible, rubber items should be stored in a relaxedposition, free from tension or compression. Laying theitem flat and avoiding suspension or crushing keeps it freefrom strain and minimises deformation.

6 Contact with Liquid and Semi-Solid MaterialContact with liquids and semi-solid materials, particularlysolvents, such as oils or greases should be avoided unlessso packed by the manufacturer.

7 Contact with MetalsMetals such as manganese, iron and copper, or copperalloys can have a harmful effect on rubber. A layer ofpaper, polyethylene or cellophane will keep theseseparated.

8 Contact with Non-MetalsContact with other rubbers or creosotes should be avoided.

9 Stock RotationElastomers should be stored for as short a period aspossible, and strict stock rotation should be practiced.

10 CleaningOrganic solvents such as trichloroethylene, carbontetrachloride and petroleum are the most harmful agents.Soap and water and methylated spirits are the leastharmful, and all parts should be dried at room temperaturebefore use.

11 Shelf LifeThe table shows the storage life of seal components madefrom the more common materials under ideal conditions.Storing under less than ideal conditions will reduce the life.

Careful inspection of the following should be made before installation after storage:

a Mechanical damageb Permanent distortionc Cracks or surface crazingd Tackiness or surface softening/hardening

Thin components (less than 1.6mm {1/16in}) tend to be more critically affected.

The appearance of 'bloom' is relatively unimportant, exceptin certain non-toxic applications.
