Rubber Energized Seal
The Rubber Energized Seal (400 Series) consists of polymer cap seal assemblies energized by O-rings, Square-rings, Quad-rings, and custom rubber energizers. These seals generate spring load through rubber compression, similar to metallic helical and inclined coil springs.
Key Advantages
Simple Design
Cost-effective and efficient solution
Easy Installation
Flexible energizers simplify the process
Space Efficient
Reduces required hardware space
Economical
More cost-effective than metallic spring seals
Limitations
Material Concerns
Compression Set
Rubber may lose elasticity over time
Fluid Compatibility
Certain fluids may degrade rubber components
Performance Limitations
Temperature Sensitivity
Low-temperature compounds sacrifice high-temperature
performance
High-temperature compounds reduce low-temperature
effectiveness
Structural Weakness
Rubber energizer may limit overall durability
