Engineered and Manufactured For Tough Conditions

Heavy equipment is subject to constant wear, vibration, and exposure to harsh environments, which can lead to seal or gasket failure. DMC Wear Parts offers a wide range of seals and gaskets crafted from top-grade materials, including rubber, silicone, and other advanced compounds. These materials are engineered to maintain a tight seal, prevent fluid leaks, and protect against contamination, even in extreme conditions.

Seals and Gaskets for Various Applications

At DMC Wear Parts, we offer a wide range of seals and gaskets to meet the diverse needs of your heavy equipment maintenance.

Hydraulic Seals

Hydraulic seals are designed to maintain fluid pressure in hydraulic cylinders, preventing leakage of fluids such as oil or hydraulic fluid. We provide:

  • Rod Seals: Prevents leakage from the hydraulic cylinder along the piston rod.
  • Piston Seals: Keeps fluid pressure on the piston, allowing the cylinder to generate force.
  • Wiper Seals: Protects the hydraulic cylinder by preventing contaminants from entering.

Oil Seals

Oil seals, also known as shaft seals, are essential for preventing lubricant leakage while keeping contaminants out. These seals are widely used in gearboxes, engines, and other equipment parts that require oil retention.

  • Rotary Shaft Seals: Designed for applications involving rotating parts, ensuring efficient sealing while resisting wear and tear.
  • Viton Oil Seals: Made from a high-performance material, ideal for extreme temperatures and aggressive fluids.

O-Rings

O-rings are one of the most versatile types of seals used in heavy equipment. They are simple, cost-effective, and available in a variety of materials, including rubber, nitrile, and Viton. O-rings are used in static and dynamic applications to prevent fluid or air leaks.

Gaskets

Gaskets are designed to fill the gap between two mating surfaces, creating a reliable seal that prevents leaks of fluids or gases. Common gasket types we offer include:

  • Rubber Gaskets: Ideal for applications involving fluids, offering excellent flexibility and sealing performance.
  • Metallic Gaskets: Used in high-pressure environments where rubber or composite gaskets may fail.
  • Composite Gaskets: A hybrid of metal and rubber, providing the benefits of both materials for sealing in extreme conditions.

Material Considerations for Seals and Gaskets

The effectiveness of a seal or gasket largely depends on the material it is made from. Different materials are suited for different conditions, such as exposure to chemicals, heat, or extreme pressure. Some of the most common materials used in heavy equipment seals and gaskets include:

Nitrile Rubber (NBR)

Known for its resistance to oil and hydraulic fluids, nitrile rubber is a popular choice for seals used in hydraulic systems and fuel systems.

Silicone

Silicone is known for its flexibility and high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for seals used in engines and exhaust systems.

Polyurethane

Often used in dynamic sealing applications, polyurethane offers excellent resistance to wear and tear. It’s commonly used in rod seals and piston seals for hydraulic applications.

Material Selection Criteria

Choosing the right gasket material depends on several critical factors:

  1. Temperature Resilience: Gaskets used near engines or exhaust systems must endure extremely high temperatures. Materials like graphite or metal alloys are ideal choices due to their ability to maintain integrity under intense heat.
  2. Chemical Resistance: Gaskets exposed to substances like oils, coolants, or hydraulic fluids need to resist chemical degradation. Viton and Nitrile rubber are commonly selected for their superior resistance to these fluids.
  3. Compressibility: Gaskets must conform to the contours and imperfections of mating surfaces to create an effective seal. Materials are chosen for their ability to compress without losing their sealing capabilities, ensuring a tight, reliable fit.
