Turcon® Glyd Ring®

Successfully used for decades, the Turcon® Glyd Ring® is a very effective and reliable low friction seal. It is particularly suitable as a piston seal in both high and low pressure systems.

Commercial Description

The double acting Turcon® Glyd Ring® is a combination of a Turcon® based slipper seal and an energising O-Ring. It is produced with an interference fit which together with the squeeze of the O-Ring ensures a good sealing effect even at low pressure. At higher system pressures, the O-Ring is energised by the fluid, pushing the Turcon® Glyd Ring® against the sealing face with increased force.

Installation & Handling

To assure rapid energizing of the seal takes place at sudden changes of pressure and direction of motion, radial notches are machined on both sides of the seal for all diameters greater than 20 mm.

Material Properties

  • Pressure : Reciprocating up to approximately 50 MPa
  • Speed : Reciprocating up to approximately 15 m/s
  • Temperature : -200 °C to +260 °C (depending on the material)
  • Media : Mineral oil based hydraulic fluids, flame retardant hydraulic fluids, environmentally safe hydraulic fluids (bio-oils), phosphate ester, water and others, depending on the seal and O-Ring material compatibility
  • Clearance : The maximum permissible radial clearance Smax is shown in the following installation dimension table as a function of the operating pressure and functional diameter

Seal Capabilities

  • No stick-slip effect when starting for smooth operation
  • Minimum static and dynamic friction coefficient for a minimum energy loss and operating temperature
  • Suitable for non-lubricating fluids depending on seal material for optimum design flexibility
  • High wear resistance ensures long service life
  • Installation grooves acc. to ISO 7425/1
  • No adhesive effect to the mating surface during long period of inactivity or storage
  • Suitable for most hydraulic fluids in relation with most modern hardware materials and surface finish depending on material select
