Piston Seal Installation

A grooved ring is a circular ring used as part of a piston seal. It serves as a retainer for the seal and holds it in place to prevent leakage of liquids or gases. Grooved rings can be made of different materials such as steel, stainless steel or plastic and are available in different sizes and shapes to meet different requirements.

Installation of a piston seal

A piston seal is installed as follows:

1. Preparation:

Check the fit and condition of the system where the seal will be installed. Clean the system and remove all contaminants.

2. Positioning:

Place the piston seal in its correct position within the system, ensuring it is situated between the piston and cylinder wall.

3. Attachment:

Use a retaining ring or another fastening method to secure the piston seal in place.

4. Review:

Activate the system to test the seal’s function and ensure tightness. Verify that there are no leakages.

5. Maintenance:

Regularly check the piston seal's performance and replace it when necessary.

Note: It is crucial to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and specifications when installing a piston seal to guarantee optimal performance and longevity.
