HALLITE SEALS - OPERATING CONDITIONS
From many years of application experience with sealing hydraulic equipment, supported by the results from an extensive test program, we know that it is necessary to link the three main operating features of speed, pressure, and temperature to achieve a satisfactory seal performance. After carefully considering each product we are able to specify the maximum speed and pressure with a temperature range within which the seal will operate safely.

Steady operating stresses with intermittent high stress, some side loading.
Highly stressed for majority of its working life. Side loading common.
Condition of Fluid
Good system filtration no cylinder contamination likely.
Good system filtration but some cylinder contamination likely.
Contamination unavoidable from internal and external sources.
Working Environment
Clean, and inside a building. Operating temperature variations limited.
Mixture of indoor & outdoors but some protection from the weather.
Outdoors all the time or a dirty indoor area. Wide variations in temperature, both ambient & working. Difficult services conditions
Usage
Irregular with short section of stroke at working pressures. Regular usage but at low pressure.
Regular usage with most of the stroke at working pressure.
Large amount of usage at high pressure with peaks throughout the stroke.
Typical Applications
