Digital Update

Demonstrating Innovative Thinking

The Trelleborg Sealing Solutions website has always been a key place to check on the latest industry trends and developments in the world of sealing. Now, a new section is
being regularly updated with leading-edge products, materials and services to keep customers informed on solutions that can improve efficiency and performance. The pages feature a quick overview of the key benefits and links to resources, such as brochures, catalogs and flyers, to get all the information you need easily. Some of the the latest additions include:

Advanced Isolast® Capabilities

Complex, custom components can be manufactured using a range of innovative processes from our portfolio of Isolast® FFKM materials – making solutions that work more efficiently for longer.

iCast™ LSR

The unique iCast™ digital manufacturing process is an innovation in Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) processing. Involving no tool investment, it offers a cost-effective way to develop product variations or try out different design concepts before investing in serial production tools, as well as enabling the start of pre-series and series production with small batches.

XploR™ S-Seal and XploR™ FS-Seal

Commonly known as spring seals, the XploR™ S-Seal and XploR™ FS-Seal are custom-engineered, spring-energized elastomer seals. They combine the benefits of integral support components with the flexibility of an elastomer seal. These seals are ideal for use in chemical processing, chemical transportation and oil and gas applications, such as oilfield casings and tubing.

Orkot® C620

Orkot® C620 pushes the boundaries of composite technology. It is specifically designed and developed to meet the needs of the aerospace market, in particular for a strong and light material to withstand high loads and stresses over a long service life, making it ideal for landing gear.

Protecting off-highway vehicles from the dirt that they encounter in operation every day is challenging for seals. Trucks, tractors and diggers not only have to deal with dirt 24/7, but high pressures and fluctuating temperatures. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has been involved in seal design, specification and development for the off-highway industry for decades and has a wealth of solutions on-hand to keep trucks trucking and diggers digging!

In the new film, get to work with construction, mining and forestry equipment and see where seals improve performance. Products for these types of applications use Zurcon® Scraper DA24, Zurcon® Glyd Ring® D, and Mechanical Face Seals to make sure these machines keep running as planned.

The popular Trelleborg Sealing Solutions digital O-Ring Calculator has been updated with new features to make it quicker and easier to specify seals for your application. Enter installation specifications and receive O-Ring sizes, housing layout and part numbers instantly!

Web-version

• Cloud-based storage enabled – import .tss files from older versions of the calculator
• Offline capabilities – If you’ve used the calculator once online, the tool can be used without an internet connection and adesktop version can be downloaded. All data is synced with our online database when a connection is available.
  
  

Mobile-version

• ISO 3601-1 Class A (AS568) standard added as a primary standard to O-Ring Search and Tolerances pages
• French standard, NFT 47-502 added to align with web-version

The new innovations section of the website highlights the latest innovative products, solutions and services, to bring you the highest levels of performance and reliability in your applications.

Isolast® PureFab™ FFKM

A new range of four materials specially engineered for critical semiconductor applications offers the ultimate, high purity sealing performance. They aim to increase product yield and reduce process defects, while reducing downtime, extending maintenance cycles, to give greater process tool uptime and lowering total cost of ownership. In the web section, find a quick summary of all the materials, with detailed webinars and data sheets!

Turcon® VL Seal II

The revolutionary Turcon® VL Seal® II extends the lifetime of hydraulic aircraft systems. The new seal improves reliability and efficiency for actuators, flight controls and landing gear shock absorbers, and is easier to install, which saves time during maintenance. Extensive testing has proven the seal's outstanding ‘zero’ leakage performance. In addition, by negating the need for drain lines, the seal contributes to manufacturers' goals for weight saving to increase fuel efficiency.

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions is at work updating and improving its industry-specific web sections. Each aims to present you with a concise resource when specifying seals for your industry. Check out the new content in  these sections.

Construction and Mining

Forestry, construction and mining vehicles are expected to perform when needed and in extremely harsh conditions. Take a tour around excavators, forestry equipment and mining  trucks to see where our solutions improve performance. Get quick and easy access to tools and resources to help choose the correct seals for the job.

Food & Beverage

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has compiled information about seals and materials for food & beverage processing equipment into an easy to access location for quick refence. Learn about compliance to regional regulations, see materials with peak performance in CIP and SIP cleaning regimes and view technical articles on industry-specific sealing challenges

Watch the Sealing Solutions for Fluid Power Components Film

Hydraulic systems are fundamental to the operation of everything from earthmoving equipment to machine tools. The principles are the same, regardless of the application, and the seals are essential to ensure reliable, long-life performance.

This new film gives an overview of the latest sealing technologies for rods and pistons for a selection of applications:

• Pumps and motors
• Accumulators
• Rotary manifolds
• Vehicle drivetrains
• Engines
  
  

The seals are shown in operation through 3D visualizations to better demonstrate how each seal contributes to the overall performance of the sealing system.
