From personal bet to leading company: 20 years of passion for sealing
Technology always aims to surpass itself, and in the world of sealing, Maitseal has established itself as a solution that stands out due to its unique design and its ability to successfully tackle various industrial challenges.
What makes Maitseal special?
By combining the flexibility of PTFE (or loaded PTFE) with the strength of a metal spring, this seal offers a high-performance dynamic seal. Its energized design ensures effective sealing even under extreme conditions.
These seals are known under various names or designations, depending on the manufacturer or specific terminology used in certain industries. One of the most popular names is Variseal®. In the world of sealing, they are also known as Flexiseal®, Mupuseal®, energized seals, spring seals, spring-energized seals, or metal spring seals. At JIOrings, we've named them Maitseals.
Advantages of Maitseals
- Efficient Sealing for Low Pressures: Thanks to the spring, these seals can maintain efficient sealing even under low pressure, as the spring ensures constant contact between the seal and mating surfaces.
- Outstanding Performance in Dynamic Applications: Maitseal seals are designed to withstand wear in applications where there is movement, such as hydraulic cylinders or rotating shafts.
- Resistance to Extrusion: Since these energized seals combine metallic and elastomeric materials, they have higher resistance to extrusion compared to conventional O-rings.
- Adaptable to Temperature Changes: The spring allows the seal to adapt to temperature changes, ensuring effective sealing even with thermal fluctuations.
- Durability: The combination of elastomer and metal, together with the spring design, offers an extended lifespan compared to other types of seals in similar applications.
- Loaded PTFE Properties: The materials used in their manufacturing ensure optimal resistance to chemical fluids, they have a low friction coefficient and lack the stick-slip effect, ensuring precise control during operation.
- Sterilizable: Maitseals can be made with a silicone filling, typically called High-Clean, and can be sterilized, making them suitable for critical applications in the food, pharmaceutical, or medical industries.
Common Applications
From aerospace to heavy machinery, Maitseal has found its place in various industries due to its versatility. Some of the more prominent applications include:
- Aerospace Sector: Actuators, fuel systems, and more.
- Automotive Industry: Braking systems, transmission, and suspension.
- Oil and Gas: Drilling equipment and high-pressure valves.
- Food and Beverage: Equipment subjected to temperature and pressure variations.
- Chemical Industry: In pumps, valves, and other equipment handling aggressive chemicals.
In conclusion, Maitseal is not just a seal; it is a comprehensive solution that combines innovation and efficiency. Its ability to maintain effective sealing under extreme and dynamic conditions makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications across various industries. As often reminded by JIOrings, it's crucial to choose the correct type and material of the seals based on the specific application and their operating conditions.
