638-4428: 55mm OD Wiper Seal

A Wiper Seal, also known as a scraper seal, is designed to exclude contaminants such as dust, dirt, moisture, and other external particles from entering the cylinder assembly. This protection is required for maintaining the integrity and longevity of the cylinder, as contaminants can cause premature wear, reduce efficiency, and lead to equipment failure. Wiper seals are made from durable materials and are installed at the cylinder head, where they make contact with the piston rod. Its design ensures a tight fit that effectively wipes the rod clean every time it retracts into the cylinder. Attributes: • Prevents dirt and debris from entering the cylinder. • Compatible with a 55-millimeter groove diameter. • Compatible with a 4-millimeter groove width. • Compitable with a 45-millimeter diameter rod. Applications: A Wiper Seal is located at the hydraulic tilt cylinder head to ensure that the piston rods remain free of contaminants for the efficient and reliable operation of the tilt cylinder.
