Trelleborg Announces New Rotary Seal for High Pressure Oil & Gas Applications

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions announced the launch of a new polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based O-Ring energized single-acting rotary seal, the Turcon Roto Glyd Ring DXL. This seal is specifically designed to meet the demands of high pressure rotary applications within the oil and gas industry. The device, which is capable of handling pressures up to 70 MPa / 10,153 psi and speeds up to 5 m/s / 16.4 ft/s, provides improved sealing efficiency and reduced friction by balancing the contact force on the dynamic lip under all service conditions, allowing for superior extrusion resistance and low torque.
