THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS TO MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE

Hydraulic cylinders and other components on injection molding machines require complex sealing solutions
to support challenging operating conditions. These elements are expected to operate continuously for long
periods of time without any loss of efficiency.

CLAMP CYLINDER
Special low friction seals can support continuous
working in a short stroke environment to help provide
long application life.
