SES 600 Series

Continuous contact, robust Spring Energized Seals (SES) are primarily used where very high axial loading is required for challenging static and slow rotary, oscillating  applications. This design is best utilized in difficult static sealing applications such  as gas, cryogenic temperatures, and vacuum. This spring design can also be used  in dynamic applications where high torque and clamping forces are present. The geometry of this spring lends itself to larger cross section and diameters.

The continuous spring is a U-shaped spring manufactured with independent grooves originating in the center of the ring and progressing to the outside diameter. This unique spring design produces a continuous, heavy load at the sealing points. The continuous geometry of the spring, when wound in a circumference, minimizes expansion and contraction due to thermal effects.

The SES Series 600 is available in multiple unique jacket materials to address a broad range of applications. Each seal jacket is used in combination with a high performance, metallic, continuous spring to produce the required high contact load for the positive sealing force against the mating surface.

The materials used for the 600 Series consist of high performance fluoroplastic compounds and engineered plastics that provide a low coefficient of friction, high abrasion resistance, and dimensional stability, as well as outstanding resistance to most fluids, chemicals, and gases.
