Hydraulic & Pneumatic Fluid Power Seals     

On-site Delivery		Open Enrollment

I.D.# 91002

Printable Description

Duration: 1.5 Days

This seminar presents the findings of several seal research and development programs, focusing on the "lessons learned" from - and innovative solutions to - seal problems. Attendees will gain insights from numerous R&D programs, including: a large rod scraper evaluation study; experiments evaluating different types of cap seals; and the military's research on 8,000 psi hydraulic systems (the findings of which are equally applicable to lower pressure components). Seal design recommendations applicable to actuators will also be presented. A software program for seal squeeze and gland volume fill (with most adverse tolerances) will be demonstrated and provided to each attendee.

Who Should Attend
This seminar is designed for those responsible for the design of hydraulic or pneumatic components, the selection of fluid power systems, or the sales of hydraulic or pneumatic seals.

Prerequisites
Attendees should have previous experience with seals or basic knowledge of the subject.
