Garlock procures metallic gasket operation

Series PP profile cushion seal.

lip. The seal moves to the back of the gland creating a seal on the inside diameter and the back of the cushion seal.

Pressure increases between the piston and the cushion seal due to the movement of the piston towards the end of the cylinder.

At the end of the stroke, pressure is equal on both sides of the cushion seal. By means of the return pressure -around 0.1 bar -the cushion seal moves axially until the stop cams reach the front of the groove. The pressure is allowed to bypass the outside diameter of the seal to allow constant acceleration. The spud on the other end of the piston enters the cushion seal at the other end of the cylinder, repeating the entire process.

The V6 fits easily into housings with simple grooves, demonstrates consistent cushioning properties and is available in fluorocarbon, urethane and nitrile. The PP cushion can cope with misalignment of the cushioning spear to the cylinder head, because of its automatic centralising capability and the incorporation of two sealing systems into the design assures axial sealing.
