From many years of application experience with sealing hydraulic equipment, supported by the results from an extensive test programme, we know that it is necessary to link the three main operating features of speed, pressure, and temperature to achieve a satisfactory seal performance.
After carefully considering each product we are able to specify the maximum speed and pressure within a temperature range within which the seal will operate safely. If your operating conditions do not comply with those recommended please send your details to your local Hallite sales office.
