T-seals are double acting seals that are available in both piston and rod profiles. A standard O-ring groove can accommodate a standard T-seal. They can accommodate higher pressures depending on material selection. The design is also considered to be more stable than an O-ring, as the T-seal shape helps to eliminate rolling or spiraling issues.

Our standard T-seals are non-locking designs composed of a nitrile sealing material and two split nylon/polyamide back-up rings. Viton™ FKM sealing material and KasPex™ PEEK back-up rings are recommended for higher pressure handling ability and improved chemical resistance.
