On Keeping Those V-Packing Seals in Excellent Shape

V-packing seals are unique packaging options. They are normally applied as outer lining solutions for cylindrical objects, such as whole driveshafts for piston-based overload equipment. The seals get their name from the V-shape design on one side of the ring, which allows for multiple seals of the same size to be stacked atop each other. … Continue reading

Keeping Connections Leak-Proof and Secure with Durable Polymer Seals

Polymers can be used in a variety of applications, such as sealing connections. While the self-healing compound has yet to be produced for everyday use, regular polymers are durable enough to be used for normal home purposes such as leak plugging. Sturdy polymer seals, such as those produced by Advanced EMC Technologies, can secure links … Continue reading

Face to Face: Sealing Mechanical Surfaces

The beauty of machinery is that each component in a device works in concert with the others towards a desired output. Obviously, parts need to be connected to each other in order for a device to work smoothly. Devices that deal with liquids and gases will need tight seals at the junctions between parts to … Continue reading

Enhancing Machine Efficiency with the Right Seals

Heavy-duty machines in manufacturing plants are built and expected to last for a long time. Given the amount of stress they have to endure, these machines will inevitably break down at some point. To keep them in good condition, heavy equipment therefore need to be fitted with sturdy parts. Quality machine components, in short, may … Continue reading

Plastic Bushing: The Green Transition from Metal to Plastic

The use of plastic as an alternative raw material for metal stemmed from the manufacturing industry’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. You may be asking how this is possible when the planet is all abuzz about the use of plastic. Essentially, plastic can be heated and formed several times and then recycled. By recycling … Continue reading

Understanding Modern Mechanical Equipment: Basic Information on Hydraulic Seals

Hydraulic seals are designed to prevent fluids, usually oil, from spilling from pumps or cylinders; and to keep contaminants from entering them. These are vital in many types of machines since they help create a means for fluid power to be converted to linear power. Among the industries that use machines with hydraulic deals are … Continue reading
