Selecting and Maintaining Hydraulic Rubber Gaskets: Essential Guidelines for Hydraulic Systems

In the hydraulic system, hydraulic rubber gaskets are one of the key components that play an essential role. Knowing how to select the proper gaskets, not only to ensure the hydraulic system's normal functioning but also to extend the service life of the gaskets, is a critical knowledge point every maintenance engineer needs to understand. This article aims to elaborate on the considerations for selecting hydraulic rubber gaskets in hydraulic systems.


Basic Principle


Hydraulic rubber gaskets are among the most extensively used gaskets within hydraulic systems. Their structure is circular, the cross-section round, showcasing excellent elasticity and plasticity. They are capable of enduring significant pressure in the hydraulic system, effectively fulfilling their sealing purpose.


Selection Principles


  • Advantage of material: The selection of hydraulic rubber gaskets material should take into account factors like the type of medium, usage temperature, and pressure. Generally, rubber is the favored material in hydraulic systems for its superior elasticity and resistance to wear.


  • Selection of size: The size of hydraulic rubber gaskets should be determined while considering the seal's installation space and the working pressure. The gaskets' compression deformation must also be taken into account to guarantee an effective seal.


  • Surface quality requirements: The surface quality of hydraulic rubber gaskets must be smooth, free of burrs, cracks, and other defects to ensure an optimal seal.


Installation Points of Hydraulic Rubber Gaskets


  • Prior to installation, the size and surface quality of gaskets must be examined to prevent flaws.


  • During installation, care must be taken to avoid damaging the gaskets' surface, thereby not compromising the sealing effect.


  • The amount of compression deformation of the gaskets should be adjusted during installation to attain the best sealing outcome.


Maintenance Precautions


  • In the hydraulic system, hydraulic rubber gaskets are prone to corrosion and wear by the medium. Therefore, the gaskets should be regularly inspected, and promptly replaced if significant wear or aging is detected.


  • The lifespan of hydraulic rubber gaskets within the hydraulic system depends on the usage environment. Thus, to prolong the service life of the gaskets, it's crucial to minimize unnecessary friction and exposure to high temperatures.
