Pneumatic Cylinder Seal Kits
OEM-quality and aftermarket seal kits for fast pneumatic actuator repair and maintenance
Overview
Seal Kit Types
OEM-Style Seal Kits
Kits that match the original manufacturer's profile and material. Direct replacement with no design change to the actuator.
Best for: Restoring original performance, warranty-sensitive rebuilds
Aftermarket Upgrade Kits
Dimensionally compatible kits with material upgrades such as TPU piston seals for longer wear life or improved low-lubrication performance.
Best for: Extending service life, reducing cost, high-cycle applications
Standard ISO Cylinder Kits
Ready-to-ship kits for common ISO 15552 and ISO 6432 bore sizes. Organized by bore and rod diameter for fast ordering.
Best for: Maintenance stock, common automation cylinders
Custom & Legacy Kits
Kits assembled from drawing, sample or part number for proprietary or obsolete actuators.
Best for: Legacy equipment, special machinery, prototype maintenance
Materials
| Material | Properties | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| NBR | -40°C to +120°C; low compression set; good resilience; standard for compressed air | General plant air, standard cycle rates, OEM replacement |
| TPU | -35°C to +80°C; superior abrasion and tear resistance; long life in high-cycle service | High-cycle automation, abrasive plants, rodless cylinders |
| FKM | -20°C to +200°C; resistant to heat, synthetic lubricants and chemical vapors | High-temperature or chemically exposed pneumatics |
Sizing
Pneumatic seal kits are ordered by cylinder bore diameter and usually rod diameter. ISO standard kits follow common bore sizes. For manufacturer-specific or custom kits, provide the cylinder model, bore, rod diameter and stroke, or send a sample seal set.
Standard ISO 15552 Kits
- • Bore diameters: 32–320 mm
- • Complete piston, rod, wiper and cushion set
- • NBR standard; TPU and FKM optional
Custom Kits
- • Assembled from drawing or sample
- • Mixed materials per seal position
- • MOQ from 1 kit
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OEM and aftermarket seal kits?
OEM kits match the original manufacturer's profile and material exactly. Aftermarket kits maintain dimensional compatibility while potentially upgrading materials such as TPU for longer life or offering a more competitive price.
How do I order the correct kit for my cylinder?
Provide the cylinder bore, rod diameter, stroke, manufacturer and model. If the label is unreadable, send photos of the cylinder and old seals. We can cross-reference common profiles and dimensions.
Can I get a kit with mixed materials?
Yes. Many customers use TPU for the piston seal and NBR for rod seals and wipers. We assemble kits to match your specific wear and friction requirements.
Do kits include installation grease?
Seals are supplied clean and dry. Use a compatible pneumatic assembly grease or clean compressor oil during installation. Avoid mineral-based greases that may degrade certain compounds.
What is the lead time for standard seal kits?
Standard ISO 15552 and common manufacturer kits in NBR typically ship within 7–15 business days. TPU and FKM kits may require 10–20 business days. Custom kits depend on material availability.
Can you supply bulk kit packs for maintenance departments?
Yes. We offer volume pricing for maintenance departments that need multiple kits of the same or mixed bore sizes. Contact us for a quote based on your annual usage.
