Spiral Pitch Spring Energized Seals

Spiral Pitch Spring Energized Seals

When considering a spring energized seal, the spring choice can be very important. Spiral pitch spring energized seals are non-linear which allows the force to remain constant over the life of the seal.

Standard Designs

 

Section View	Description	Part # Code	Pressure Rating	Application
	standard lip standard head	ES1A ES2A	3,000 psig	The ES1A and ES2A series are designed for higher speed applications where a constant spring force is of benefit. Temperatures are limited to 300° F.
	I.D. Scraper Standard Heel	ES1B ES2B	3,000 psig	Used in reciprocating rod applications with viscous fluids. The scraper lip can also be used to "snap" the seal into stepped glands.
	O.D. Scraper Standard Heel	ES1C ES2C	3,000 psig	Used in reciprocating piston applications with viscous fluids. The scraper lip can also be used to "snap" the seal into stepped glands.
	Double Scraper Standard Heel	ES1D ES2D	3,000 psig	Good for the combination of a stepped gland and reciprocating motion.
	Standard Lip Extended Heel	ES3A ES4A	10,000 psig	Same as ES1A and ES2A series but with greater pressure capabilities.
	I.D. Scraper Extended Heel	ES3B ES4B	10,000 psig	Same as ES1B and ES2B series but with greater pressure capabilities.
	O.D. Scraper Extended Heel	ES3C ES4C	10,000 psig	Same as ES1C and ES2C series but with greater pressure capabilities.
	Double Scraper Extended Heel	ES3D ES4D	10,000 psig	Same as ES1D and ES2D series but with greater pressure capabilities.
	Internal Face Seal	ES5A	3,000 psig	An excellent alternative to elastomers in applications with difficult combinations of temperature, pressure and speed. The ES5A seals pressure from an internal source.
	External Face Seal	ES6A	3,000 psig	An excellent alternative to elastomers in applications with difficult combinations of temperature, pressure and speed. The ES6A seals pressure from an external source.
