FLEXICASE™ ROTARY SEAL

FLEXICASE™ ROTARY SEAL

Through our distribution agreement with Parker Prädifa, Ashton Seals can supply FlexiCase™ rotary seals for demanding sealing applications where conventional elastomeric lip seals may not provide the required performance.
The FlexiCase™ seal is a metal-cased rotary lip seal featuring a filled PTFE sealing element. It is designed for applications where elastomeric lip seals can fail, while providing a cost-effective alternative to mechanical seals in suitable applications.

Key Benefits of FlexiCase™ Rotary Seals

Excellent chemical compatibility filled PTFE offers resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals and media.
Wide temperature range suitable for applications with temperatures beyond the typical operating range of many elastomeric seals.
Higher pressure capabilities engineered for more demanding pressure conditions than conventional elastomeric lip seals.
Extended service life the PTFE sealing element can provide longer operating life in challenging applications.
Reduced maintenance durable sealing performance can help minimise seal replacement and associated downtime.
Metal-cased construction provides a robust rotary sealing solution for demanding industrial environments.
Cost-effective alternative an attractive option where elastomeric lip seals are unsuitable and mechanical seals are considered too costly.

Applications for FlexiCase™ Rotary Seals

FlexiCase™ rotary seals are suited to demanding industrial sealing applications involving challenging chemicals, temperatures, pressures or operating conditions. They can be considered where standard rotary lip seals are unable to provide the required service life or media compatibility.
Ashton Seals can supply Parker Prädifa FlexiCase™ rotary seals through our distribution agreement, helping customers identify a suitable sealing solution for demanding rotary applications.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is a FlexiCase™ rotary seal?
FlexiCase™ is a metal-cased rotary lip seal with a filled PTFE sealing element, supplied by Ashton Seals through our distribution agreement with Parker Prädifa. It is designed for demanding rotary sealing applications where conventional elastomeric lip seals may not provide sufficient performance.
2. What are the benefits of FlexiCase™ rotary seals?
FlexiCase™ rotary seals offer greater chemical compatibility, wider temperature ranges, higher pressure capabilities and longer service life compared with many elastomeric lip seals. This makes them suitable for challenging industrial sealing applications.
3. When should I use a FlexiCase™ seal instead of an elastomeric lip seal?
FlexiCase™ can be considered where an elastomeric rotary lip seal is failing or unsuitable due to chemical exposure, temperature, pressure or demanding operating conditions. The filled PTFE sealing element provides performance advantages in applications where standard elastomers may not be suitable.
4. Are FlexiCase™ rotary seals an alternative to mechanical seals?
Yes. FlexiCase™ rotary seals can provide a cost-effective alternative to mechanical seals in suitable applications where conventional elastomeric lip seals cannot meet the operating requirements. The most appropriate sealing solution depends on the application conditions.
