Materials
Rod seals are mostly made out of PU, NBR or FPM, but a combination of elastomers and plastomers is also possible. The same applies here, PU rod seals are usually much more wear and tear resistant than those made from rubber materials. Depending on operating conditions, for example, at temperatures above 100°C (212°F), FPM seals are used. In pneumatic applications NBR is the preferred material for seals.
