Sealing systems testing

Sealing systems testing Characterisation of the efficiency, sealing capacity and durability of sealing systems

Areas of study Selection of different optimum commercial seal geometries and materials for specific applications Validation of new formulations for lubricants and materials Comparative study of different seal designs for a specific application Analysis of rod materials, finishes and surface treatments Complete component testing (actuators, cylinders, etc.)

Sealing systems testing

Testing capabilities Tests performed on real sealing systems A wide range of working conditions and seal types (rod/piston, pneumatic/hydraulic, rotational, oscillatory and reciprocating motion) Designing customised test chambers Friction, wear and leakage tests covering a wider range of working conditions Tests performed according to standards or customised procedures

TESSA Test bench Technical characteristics: Seal diameters: 8 - 200 mm Speed: up to 5 m/s (reciprocating module), up to 4000 rpm (rotating module) Temperature range: -50 to +120ºC High chamber pressure settings (up to 200 bar) Hydraulic and pneumatic applications Control and monitoring of friction, pressure, leaks and temperature
