The rod seal type Aston Seals A assures a good reaction against shock pressure peaks and low friction in the low pressure range. The asymmetric lips are designed to differentiate the behaviour of the lips on the static and dynamic surfaces: the static lip is flexible and more sensitive to pressure fluctuations; the dynamic lip is shorter and stronger to concentrate load against the dynamic surface. The material used to produce this seal is a polyurethane compound that ensures excellent properties on wear-resistance, extended service life and resistance against extrusion.
