METAL SPRING ENERGISED 'C' - SEALS

The Moontown high performance seal has a temperature range from cryogenic to 1100 °C at pressures from 1x10-10 Torr to 6900 BAR. These seals are normally not affected by corrosion, radiation or other adverse environmental conditions, provided the seal material is compatible with the medium. The Moontown high performance seal is a self and pressure activated design. When the seal is compressed to a predetermined deflection, sealing stresses are generated by the resilient jacket and spring. Additional seal energization is achieved when system pressure is introduced, increasing seal loading. Unless otherwise engineered, the system pressure is applied to the open side of the seal.
