DESCRIPTION

The KR profile is a rod seal that can be used as a buffer seal in conjunction with other primary rod seals or in tandem with itself, creating a zero leak seal. The KR is a uni-directional seal, with a unique design that allows the seal to relieve pressure build up. This pressure relief feature allows the KR to be used in a tandem or multiple seal arrangement. 

The KR features low friction, long life, and versatility. When the rod is going through its power stroke (higher pressure) the seal is riding on a sealing point, creating a high compression point and limiting leakage. As the rod goes to its return stroke, it rocks forward, creating a larger sealing surface on the rod. The compression force is spread out over a larger area, reducing the load on the rod. This allows any trapped fluid to easily return to the system. 

For high temperature applications, the KR-V seal can be used. Temperature rating is -20 to 400F and uses a Fluorocarbon energizer in place of standard Nitrile
