In response to REACH directives to stop the use of toxic Hexavalent Chromium as a coating material, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has released a new whitepaper and webinar series that explores the differing behaviors of replacement surface coatings.
Join Dr. -Ing Mandy Wilke, Senior Manager Global Technical Management for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, as she goes through first-hand research conducted in-house with a new three-dimensional approach to understanding roughness and lubrication.
The whitepaper is complemented by two webinars, one for general industry and another taking a deep-dive into the potential seal life and performance potential for aerospace applications.

There are few places where highly durable, temperature resistant, chemically compatible, low maintenance parts are more important than in off-highway vehicles.
High-modulus thermoplastics offer a solution to many of the issues faced by designers for these applications. This article covers the range of plastics available and the benefits they can provide.

Have you ever needed to calculate the square footage of an oddly shaped room? Or the volume of a complex space like an HVAC unit? Calculating the area or volume of shapes can be frustrating and time consuming.
Developed with the engineer in mind, the Area & Volume Calculator is an easy-to-use tool to support you with these tasks. The tool, available both on the web and as a mobile app, supports a full range of area and volume calculations – just select a shape, input your measurements and the tool quickly calculates area, perimeter, volume and weight.
In the latest version of this tool, we’ve doubled the number of shapes and sub-shapes available for calculation to over 170 2D and 3D shapes.
You’ll find the Area & Volume Calculator web tool at tss.trelleborg.com by clicking Design Support & Engineering Tools under “Tools & Resources.” The app is available for download for iPhone and iPad and Android.
The Hydraulic System Calculator has been developed for design engineers working with hydraulic cylinders, pumps, motors and pipes. This intuitive tool supports the design of hydraulic components around single or double-acting cylinders.
By entering cylinder dimensions and pressure or oil flow parameters, you can quickly calculate area, volume, force, velocity, time, outflow and cylinder ratio. Backward compatibility is also offered for some parameters.
The Hydraulic System Calculator is available both as a web tool and a mobile app. The web version is available at tss.trelleborg.com by going to Design Support & Engineering Tools under “Tools & Resources”.
The Seals Catalog, the newest member of our app family, brings the high-powered function of our web catalog to you in a mobile friendly format.
You can use the app to easily search for and filter products by item number, type of seal or operating conditions. The app gives you access to detailed product descriptions of thousands of seals,
as well as material data sheets. This easy-to-use app lets you select seals, load up your shopping cart and send it through to your local marketing company for quotation.
You are guaranteed a rapid response, making the whole process of specifying and ordering seals easier and quicker than ever!
The Seals Catalog App is available for download for iPhone and iPad and Android.Edition 37
We’ve launched the Fluid Mechanics Calculator App to support fluid thinkers such as students, engineers, analysts, researchers or those curious to learn about fluids. This app will help you find information on a variety of topics as well as help in analysis, design, maintenance and operation of fluid related systems.
Frequently used in automotive, aviation, geology, space, biological applications, petroleum, marine systems, and cylinder manufacturing, this app will provide results for different fluid mechanics, civil, structural, pipe flow and engineering parameters.
The app allows you access more than 130 formulas as well as over 360 methods of calculation, with the ability to change the subject of the formula based on the variable you are calculating. The formula applied is then displayed in the app. You can also easily calculate answers. Just key in the numbers, set units and see results.
Easily accessible on the Trelleborg Sealing Solutions website, the Technical Library offers a collection of lectures, whitepapers, technical articles and webinars covering various industries and sealing technology topics.
- Tech Talks
The latest addition to our Library are Tech Talks. These feature sealing technology experts holding lectures on the latest industry innovations. One highlight is the talk on HiSpin® for eMobility, innovative seals that aim to extend the traveling range of electric vehicles.
