Description

Homogenous U-cups (block vees) are a non-loaded, single material U-cup. The HU seal is popular in low pressure applications where a low friction seal would be beneficial. The seal is most commonly used in pneumatic applications as a rod or piston seal. The design is suited for situations where space is limited. The HU seal is typically made from an 80 durometer Nitrile but also comes in Viton™/fluorocarbon, Neoprene and other homogenous materials.

As pressure is applied to the homogenous U-cup the seal experiences an increase in sealing force until it reaches the maximum pressure the seal can handle. Homogeneous U-cup seals can handle up to 500 PSI; however, if you have applications that require higher pressure capabilities please consult a Hi-Tech Seals’ sales representative.


Profiles

Homogenous U-Cup

The standard homogenous u-cup has a u-shaped groove formed in such a manner that there is an inside and outside sealing lip.
