R5 Profile, Rectangular PTFE Cap Seal

The Parker R5 profile is a bi-directional piston seal for use in medium
to heavy duty hydraulic actuators and is suitable for sealing against
hardened surfaces in pneumatic applications. The R5 profile is a
two piece design comprised of a standard size rubber square ring
energizing a rectangular shaped PTFE cap. The R5 profile offers
excellent stability, long wear, low friction and extrusion protection. The
seal is commonly used in applications such as agriculture hydraulics,
mobile hydraulics, machine tools and hydraulic presses. Parkers R5
profile will retrofit non-Parker seals of similar design and is an updated
version of the Parker R5100 piston seal.
The R5 profile may be ordered without the energizer by omitting the
energizer code. See part number nomenclature.
