Rod U Seals
Definition - What does Rod U Seals mean?
Rod U seals are U-shaped rod seals that are used to prevent fluid leakage from a cylinder and maintain a sliding motion between a piston head and the cylinder head. These types of seals are mainly used in fluid power equipment and in hydraulic cylinders to seal the system pressure. Rod seals are the most critical seals in any type of fluid power equipment.
