Podcast on Leak Prevention in Off-highway Applications
Date: 28.08.26
In this episode of The NFPA's Fluid Power Forum, our own Trevor Combs walks us through the key variables that drive external leakage in hydraulic systems, including:
- Rod substrate and surface finish
- Fluid viscosity and contamination control
- Seal geometry and material selection
He also covers exciting innovations like back-pumping seals and pressure-relief buffer seals, plus what the future holds for PFAS-free materials and sustainable fluid compatibility.
