OmniSeal APS
OmniSeal APS(Advanced Pitch Spring) utilizes a unique coiled wire spring design that has a light load and characteristics of a wide range of deflection while producing an almost constant spring load. This feature permits a large wear allowance in the seal jacket while maintaining an effective sealing load. Also, the spring can be wound in extremely small coil diameters, which makes this type of seal ideal for small cross section and small diameter seal applications. The low stressed spring makes it possible to deform the seal, allowing for assembly of rod seals into most closed glands without damaging the spring.
OmniSeal type APS(Advanced Pitch Spring) has been designed for applications where a low and constant load (friction) is required
over a wide range of deflections. Typically this seal is used in dynamic application. The standard spring load averages at 0,3N/mm circumference, but may be increased or decreased for specific seal performance. The APS seal is designed for dynamic applications & is available for radial or face seal type designs.
