Wiper Seals
Wiper seals, also known as scraper seals, are essential components in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. They are designed to prevent dirt, dust and contaminants from entering the cylinder, protecting the rod and other internal components. By keeping contaminants out, wiper seals ensure smooth operation, reduce wear and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
Benefits of using high-quality wiper seals
Enhanced Protection: Prevent harmful particles from damaging rods and cylinder walls.
Extended Equipment Life: Reduce maintenance costs by minimising wear and tear.
Improved Efficiency: Maintain smooth cylinder operation without leaks or friction.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for hydraulic machinery, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial systems.

Types of wiper / scraper seals
Wiper seals are available in a range of materials and designs to suit different operating conditions:
- Polyurethane Seals: Durable and resistant to abrasion, ideal for heavy-duty applications.
- Nitrile Rubber (NBR) Seals: Excellent chemical resistance and suitable for a wide temperature range.
- PTFE Seals: Low friction and high-temperature resistance for precision machinery.
- Single and Double Lip Seals: Provide enhanced wiping performance depending on contamination levels.
Maintenance tips for wiper seals
To ensure optimal performance of your scraper seals:
- Regularly inspect seals for wear or damage.
- Keep rods clean to prevent abrasive particles from entering the cylinder.
- Use compatible lubricants to reduce friction and extend seal life.
- Replace seals promptly to avoid damage to cylinder components.
