Gaskets and seals
The tightness and protection of industrial systems are vital to guarantee their optimal functioning and prolong their useful life. This is where gaskets and seals come into play. These components, although often underestimated, play a crucial role in preventing leaks and protecting against the ingress of contaminants. O-rings, for example, provide a tight seal in systems where fluids and gases are handled, while retainers and scrapers ensure that there are no unwanted exchanges or ingress of impurities.
ROYSE offers a wide catalog of O-rings, seals, V-rings, collars and scrapers depending on their operation, applications and benefits.

Types of gaskets and seals
O-Ring seals
An O-ring is a toroidal-shaped sealing device, usually made of rubber, designed to ensure tightness in a joint, whether it involves the movement of fluids or gases. An O-ring is an element that achieves the sealing of a piece or component and is used inside certain valves, in press-fitting systems or steel pipe connections during pressing, for the joining of fittings or flanges, or inside boilers and heaters. The main function of an O-ring is to deform under the pressure of the two parts to seal the joint. The use of an O-ring prevents leaks of liquids or gases. Additionally, it is a highly versatile component that can be used across a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Another benefit is that O-rings prevent the entry of contaminants and dust. This is important in applications that require a clean environment, such as the pharmaceutical and food industries. O-rings are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace, making them ideal for applications that require regular maintenance. They are widely used in a variety of applications from the automotive industry to the machinery industry.
Seals
A seal is a piece made of synthetic rubber compound used to prevent leaks or the unwanted exchange of fluids, gases, or solids from an enclosed element.
V-Ring
V-rings are a type of synthetic rubber seal that is applied mounted on the shaft, producing efficient sealing through a sensitive lip supported by a transverse wall. They are suitable for sealing against dirt, dust, water, grease or any fluid.
Collars
Collars are versatile seals that can be mounted on both the rod and the piston of a single or double-acting cylinder. Collars offer a high sealing efficiency and excellent resistance to abrasion, friction, and wear. Collars have many advantages, including simplicity, ease of assembly, and disassembly. In sealing, its main use is for hydraulic and pneumatic applications.
Wipers
Wipers are components that prevent the entry of dirt into the cylinder. Due to their design, they remove or scrape the deposited dirt on the shaft, while allowing the presence of a thin film of lubricant during the shaft's return. Dirt entering the cylinder would cause contamination of the lubricant and damage the other sealing and guiding elements of the cylinder itself.
