Roto Variseal and Roto Glyd Ring
Turcon® Variseal® and Turcon® Glyd Ring® for rotary situations
Turcon® Roto Variseal® and Turcon® Roto Glyd Ring® have been specially adapted for rotary situations.
The Turcon® Roto Variseal®, with its V shaped ring, has a flanged heel which prevents the seal from rotating in the groove.
Turcon® Roto Glyd Ring® is double acting and suitable for rotating, oscillating and helically moving pistons, rods and shafts.
Turcon Rotary Shaft Seals
Turcon® Varilip® PDR
Turcon® Varilip® PDR (Performance, Durability, Reliability) rotary shaft seals are constructed from one or multiple Turcon® PTFE based sealing elements which are mechanically retained in a precision machined metal body. The Turcon® sealing element provides positive dynamic sealing on the shaft, while the metal body gives a robust static seal against the housing, performing effectively at high rotary speeds. Characterized by low friction and stick-slip-free running, the seal reduces temperature generation, permits higher peripheral speeds and lowers power consumption. This results in a long-service life, with maximized mean time between planned maintenance and greater productivity.
Benefits of Turcon® Varilip® PDR include:
Turcon® PTFE based sealing lip
- Low-friction to facilitate reduced power loss and friction-induced heat
- Unique self-lubricating hydrodynamic feature further reduces friction
- Advanced geometries engineered to give excellent performance in almost every high-speed rotary situation
- Multiple lip configurations to address most sealing needs
