What is Piston Spring Energized Seal?

A Piston Spring Energized Seal is a type of sealing device that uses a spring-energized piston to maintain contact between the sealing lips and the sealing surface. This type of seal is typically used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications where traditional seals are not effective. The spring-energized piston creates a positive seal that is able to withstand high pressures and temperatures while maintaining a low friction coefficient. The seal can be made from a variety of materials, including PTFE, PEEK, UHMWPE, and others, depending on the application requirements. These seals are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and hydraulic applications.
