Slipper Rings

Fluorten offers Slipper Rings. Made up of a segment in filled PTFE with an elastomer ring, slipper seals replace rubber in dynamic applications resulting in low costs, long duration and high technical limits. Available in a wide range of dimensions and profiles (market standards and specials on demand) slipper rings are the ideal solution in rotary and slow rotary-translation movements and as anti-extrusion for over pressures in static and semi-static devices. These seals were originally designed for aeronautical use and during the years they have got more and more success in fluid-dynamic servo-systems sectors due to their low friction properties and the lack of stick-slip effect especially with the introduction of specific PTFE compounds where Fluorten has achieved a deep experience. Besides it can supply to seals manufacturers the same high quality material level, as for slipper rings produced by itself, for pure and filled PTFE stock shapes (tubes and rods) to be machined.
