Improving Installation - Radial
Radial seals, also called piston seals, are a very robust and common design for an O-ring or other type of seal. As with any seal, problems can arise during installation well after the design stage. Particularly if the installation force is high or visibility is poor. Troublesome seal installation can be frustrating, expensive, and time consuming.
Common radial installation solutions are focused on the following benefits:
• Reducing Installation Force
• Identification
