IMPORTANT NOTE: It is not uncommon for the requirements of a sealing system to fall into multiple duty columns. When
this situation occurs you should select the majority of your components from the higher range.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:
• When selecting a wiper, focus on contamination section.
• In selecting a sealing component you will evaluate the temperature, pressure and pressure spike variables of the
application.
• W ith a wear ring, you will want to look at the temperature and side loading section on page 74. This does not
preclude the need to consider such things as fluid being sealed and stroke speed.

Critical Note: Typical physical property data should be used as a tool for relative comparison of physical and
mechanical properties of Parker materials within a material classification and are not given as specification limits.
Values shown are derived primarily from laboratory tests on material samples of uniform shape and size. Data does not
take into account all variables that may be encountered in actual use such as seal geometry, lip shape, idle storage or

MATERIALS
Chemical Compatibility
It is essential to select seal compounds that are compatible with the environment in which they are used. Even if the proper
seal material is chosen based on system temperature and pressure, exposure to certain fluids can drastically reduce seal
performance by altering a compound’s typical physical properties.
Parker has tested thousands of fluids and is continuously testing many new, popular chemicals to ensure seal material
compatibility. For detailed reports regarding compatiblity of common seal materials and popular test fluids, please contact
your local Parker Engineered Materials Group representative.
Temperature Limits
It is important to understand that temperature ratings for sealing materials are based upon the typical physical
characteristics of the material alone. A material’s suitability for a specific application, however, is dependent on actual use
conditions which take into account wide ranging considerations which include, but aqre not limited to: hardware attributes
and configuration, seal geometry, fluid compatibility, and expected duration and frequency of service exposure at
pressure, temperature, and speed (i.e., continuous, intermittent, excursion). Therefore, it is always advisable to test under
actual service conditions before specifying a material.
THERMAL FACTORS
Heat affects the seal material in several ways:
• Softens the material which accelerates wear
• A
ccelerates any chemical reaction between the fluid and the seal
• D
amages the bond structure of the material
• Increases compression set
• H
igher temperatures for extended periods of time may harden thermoset (rubber) materials.
• A
s a bearing or wear ring heats up, binding can occur if there is not a gap designed into the wear ring.
Lower end temperature may be as important as the upper end temperature. This is especially true in mobile hydraulics. As
the temperature lowers, the following takes place:
• The seal hardens and is less responsive.
• T
he coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction is approximately ten times that of metals. Therefore the seal lips
could start to pull away from the surface of the bore. This loss of lip compression against the colder sealing surfaces can
be offset by seal design and proper material selection.

Records Records should be kept to ensure that stock is rotated such that the first seals in are the first out (FIFO).
Seals must be stored away from heat sources such as direct sunlight and heating appliances. Maximum
storage temperature is +100°F (+38°C). Low temperatures do not typically cause permanent damage to seals,
Temperature but can result in brittleness, making them susceptible to damage if not handled carefully. Ideally, seals should
not be stored at temperatures less than +50°F (+10°C) and should be warmed to room temperature before
installation.
Ultra Violet Seals must be protected from direct sunlight and any artificial light that generates ultra violet radiation.
Care should be taken to ensure seals are always stored in an environment with a relative humidity of less than
Humidity 65%. Polyurethane seals in particular are very susceptible to damage from exposure to moisture and should be
Ozone-generating equipment and oxygen exposure can be detrimental to seal compounds. Seals should be

be maintained.
Large seals should be stored flat when possible and not suspended, which may cause distortion over time.

BR Profile
The BR profile is a compact rod seal designed to act as a buffer seal for the primary rod seal. As a buffer seal,
the BR profile provides the majority of the rod sealing performance. Any fluid located between the BR profile and
the rod seal will relieve back into the cylinder by flowing past the BR profile’s flexible static side lip and slotted
pedestals. This relieving, or check valve function, allows the BR profile and primary rod seal to work as a sealing
system without danger of developing a pressure trap. As a sealing system, the BR profile and primary rod seal
provide optimal performance in the most difficult applications. The standard material for the BR profile is Parker’s
P4300 polyurethane and W4655 Moly-filled Nylon back-up ring.

BP Profile
Parker’s BP profile is a squeeze type, bi-directional piston seal for use in medium to heavy duty hydraulic applications.
This premium polyurethane cap seal is primarily designed for linear applications but has been successfully used as
a low speed rotary seal. The standard material for this profile is Resilon® 4304 polyurethane, offering higher wear
resistance, extrusion resistance, and extended temperature range. The Resilon® 4304 cap is energized using a
resilient nitrile elastomer offering low compression set. The BP profile’s geometry provides a fluid reservoir between
the two sealing lips which holds system fluid, resulting in reduced breakaway and running friction. Standard BP profile
is designed to retrofit industrial reciprocating O-ring grooves. The BP profile is easy to install and will resist rolling and
twisting in long stroke applications.

CT Profile
The Parker CT profile is a robust design for heavy duty hydraulic applications and is an excellent choice for sealing
mobile hydraulic applications that experience shock loads. This four piece profile is an assembly comprised of a
rubber energizer, PTFE cap and two back-up rings. In application, fluid pressure forces the rubber energizer to apply
increased load against the PTFE cap and back-up rings. This results in increased sealing force against the bore and
allows the back-up rings to close off the extrusion gap between the piston and the bore. Once activated by pressure,
the back-up rings protect the seal from extruding and keep internal contamination away from the PTFE cap. Parker’s
CT profile will retrofit non-Parker seals of similar design.

OE Profile
The Parker OE profile is a bi-directional piston seal for use in low to medium duty hydraulic applications. The two piece
design is comprised of a standard size Parker O-ring energizing a wear resistant PTFE cap. The OE profile offers long
wear, low friction and because of its short assembly length requires minimal gland space on the piston. The seal is
commonly used in applications such as mobile hydraulics, machine tools, injection molding machines and hydraulic
presses. Parker’s OE profile will retrofit non-Parker seals of similar design.
The OE profile may be ordered without the energizer by omitting the energizer code.

*The temperature range of the OE profile is limited to the energizer. A wider temperature
range can be achieved by using alternate energizer compounds.
**Pressure Range without wear rings. If used with wear rings, refer to the Engineering
Section for surface finish and additional hardware considerations.

AD Profile
The Parker AD profile is a double acting wiper for use in low to medium duty hydraulic cylinders. It is a two-piece
design comprised of a filled PTFE cap that is energized by a standard size O-ring. The wiping and sealing design of the
AD profile assists the primary rod seal in preventing leakage by helping seal fluid in the cylinder when the rod extends.
When the cylinder rod retracts, the outside sealing edge prevents contamination from entering the system. Parker’s
AD profile will retrofit non-Parker wipers of similar design.
The AD profile may be ordered without the energizer by omitting the energizer code.

WPT, WRT and PDW profiles are installed to prevent damage caused by metal-to-
metal contact between components, especially in cases where the cylinder is oriented
horizontally or the rod is eccentrically loaded.
Wear bands require larger clearances between metal components to function properly,
reducing the pressure rating of seals. Tight-tolerance WPT and WRT profiles are precision
molded, which allows for smaller extrusion gaps, thus protecting the seals under high
pressure.

smaller for tight-tolerance wear rings, thus increasing the calculated as follows:

high temperatures, where the pressure rating of seal Ap = ØD x W

where D is the bearing O.D. for pistons or the bearing I.D.
WEAR RING GROOVES CALL FOR LARGER for rods, and W is the bearing width.
EXTRUSION GAPS. HOW DOES THIS AFFECT
THE SEALS’ PRESSURE RATING?
Since wear rings compress under heavy loading, the F
hardware clearances must increase to prevent metal-
to-metal contact. This creates a larger extrusion gap,
and as a result, the seals’ pressure ratings will decrease.
Pre-established gland dimensions outlined in this catalog
always result in a maximum 0.005" radial clearance for
W
metal components. As such, standard-tolerance wear
rings can reduce a seal’s pressure capability by 50%.
Using tight-tolerance wear rings enables the extrusion
gaps to be held closer, and the seal’s pressure ratings
are only reduced by 30%. In either case, it is important to
select proper seal and back-up materials to accommodate
