Seal profiles for piston and rod applications in pneumatics
Symmetric pneumatic seals can be used as piston seals or rod seals depending on the installation situation. Thanks to their symmetric profile, they are suitable for both externally sealing and internally sealing applications in pneumatic systems.
Which design is the right one depends on the specific operating conditions. Key factors include installation position, sliding speed, pressure load, medium, and temperature.

Symmetric pneumatic seals from INNSEALS
Symmetric pneumatic seals are versatile sealing elements for pneumatic applications. Depending on the installation, they are used either for sealing on the piston or on the piston rod.
As piston seals, they provide external sealing. As rod seals, they perform an internal sealing function. This makes them particularly suitable for applications requiring a compact, flexibly usable seal profile.
Symmetric pneumatic seals in the sealing system
Symmetric pneumatic seals often work together with guide elements, wipers, and other sealing elements. Guide elements stabilize the piston or piston rod, while the seal provides the sealing function.
Reliable function is achieved through the right interaction of profile, material, installation space, and operating conditions.

Your FAQs answered
Frequently asked questions:
Symmetric pneumatic seals have an identical geometry on both sides. This allows them to be installed regardless of the installation direction, which significantly simplifies handling.
They reduce assembly errors, simplify inventory management and enable faster installation. This saves time and minimizes the risk of incorrect installation directions.
They provide reliable sealing with simultaneously low friction and are designed for typical pneumatic operating conditions.
Yes, in many applications they achieve comparable performance. However, the exact suitability depends on pressure, speed and operating conditions.
They are used in pneumatic cylinders, automation systems and industrial plants where simple assembly and flexibility are required.
