Common errors in reasoning

...from practice:

▪ Seals and wipers function separately.
→ In reality, they only work reliably as a system.

▪ Surface values match the drawing.
→ The actual condition after coating, assembly, and running time is decisive.

▪ Lateral forces are negligible.
→ These forces often determine the contact pattern and service life.

▪ The medium is known.
→ Additives, aging, and contamination significantly change the behavior.

Experience shows:
It is not the individual component that is decisive, but the interaction of guidance, wiping, and surface in real operation.

We are happy to assist you in the correct design of rod seals—practical and brand-independent.
