To obtain best results from any style of piston cup, it is recommended that the piston properly support the heel of the cup. Recommended diametral clearance between the piston and cylinder wall are as follows:
1" to 2-1/4" .005"
2-1/2" to 4-3/4" .008"
5" to 10" .010"
The height of the machined shoulder most frequently used to control squeeze on the heel of the cup is as follows:
Cups 1/8" thick .116/.119"
Cups 5/32" thick .146/.149"
Cups 3/16" thick .178/.181"
The follower plate should be approximately .110" smaller than the ID of the cup. To reduce any tendency of the cup to extrude under pressure a phonograph finish may be machined on the surface of the follower plate.
NOTE: The 8000 piston cups are center punched.

Do not include the homogeneous ring in calculating pressure rating. Due to the different material, it is difficult to rate this type of ring. If you wish to use all homogeneous rings, tests should be conducted to verify design stability.

The MHMU style multi-lip rod u-seal combines the pressure-compensating, uni-directional characteristics of a u-seal with the multi-lip sealing effectiveness of compression-type stacked-packings. Made from premium materials, the MHMU utilizes several sealing lip edges for dry rod performance while minimizing friction. The multi-lip design maintains a critical sealing edge even though increasing pressure moves the line of contact down towards the heel.

The Style TP-L seal is a zero drift piston seal for bi-directional pressure applications. The locking anti-extrusion rings provide for an easier installation. It is designed to retrofit O-Ring and standard T-seal grooves. The 70 shore A NBR is designed specifically for performance in compression type dynamic seals. Other features include a net molded dynamic sealing surface and backup chamfers.
