Exploring the Bonded Seals Series for High-Performance Sealing in Demanding Applications

Number of hits：62025-07-23 10:44:06　

In complex mechanical systems where leak prevention is critical, bonded seals—also known as washer seals—offer a compact, durable, and cost-effective sealing solution. The Bonded Seals Series, comprising self-centering bonded seals and non-self-centering bonded seals, provides enhanced adaptability for a wide range of pressure and temperature conditions across diverse industries. Engineered with precision, these seals serve as static sealing elements in bolt or screw connections, especially where high pressures or hydraulic fluids are present.

What Are Bonded Seals?
Bonded seals are composed of two main components: a metallic washer (commonly carbon steel or stainless steel) and an elastomeric sealing element (typically NBR, FKM, or silicone) that is bonded to the inner diameter. The elastomer provides the sealing function, while the metal washer ensures structural stability. In self-centering types, the sealing ring is aligned with a metal locating lip for easier installation and precise positioning. In contrast, non-self-centering types require manual centering but are better suited for tighter installation spaces.

Material & Performance Overview
· Metal Washer Options: Carbon steel (zinc-plated), stainless steel (SS304/SS316) for corrosion resistance.

Elastomer Options:

· NBR (Nitrile) for oil resistance and general use (-40°C to +125°C)

· FKM (Fluororubber) for high-temperature and chemical resistance (-20°C to +250°C)

· Silicone for wide temperature variations and food-grade applications

· Working Pressure: Typically up to 1500 bar, and so on nominal pressure: to 40 mpa. depending on seal size and housing design.

· Temperature Range: -40°C to +250°C depending on elastomer type.

Where Are They Used?
Bonded seals are widely utilized in static applications where bolts or flanges must remain leak-tight under vibration or thermal fluctuation. They’re especially common in:

· Hydraulic and pneumatic systems

· Pumps and valves

· Industrial engines and gearboxes

· Heavy machinery and construction equipment

· Energy sector installations, including wind turbines and oil rigs

· Automotive systems, particularly in engines and brake assemblies

· Aerospace and marine equipment, where reliability under pressure is paramount

Thanks to their robust design, bonded seals are suitable for electromechanical devices, industrial robots, power tools, HVAC systems, and agricultural machinery where pressure cycles and oil-based fluids are present.
