Advanced Hydraulic Piston Rod Seal Technology: TDI Tandem Seals for Heavy-Duty Industrial Cylinders
2026/06/12
Introducing Advanced TDI Tandem Seal Technology for Hydraulic Piston Rod Applications
As a specialized provider of high-performance sealing solutions, we are proud to showcase our advanced piston rod seal portfolio, engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern hydraulic cylinder systems. Our TDI tandem seal series represents a breakthrough in rod sealing technology, combining durability, low friction, and exceptional pressure resistance.
The TDI Tandem Seal: Dual-Component Engineering Excellence
The TDI is a premium inside rod sealing solution for hydraulic piston rods. Its innovative design features a high-performance HPU or NBR elastic ring with a robust sealing lip, paired with a bronze-filled PTFE step seal that functions as a slide ring. This dual-component architecture delivers outstanding sealing performance with built-in wear compensation, ensuring consistent performance throughout the entire service life.
Under increasing system pressure, the slide ring is predominantly pressed against the piston rod surface, creating an optimized annular cavity that collects any seepage oil passing the elastomer lip. This self-regulating mechanism ensures consistent sealing efficiency across the entire pressure range and is typically used in conjunction with guide elements for complete system reliability.
