Product ID: 05133335 – Waterjet Seal Assembly

Description:
This component is a seal assembly designed for waterjet cutting systems. It is a pre-assembled unit containing multiple sealing elements, such as O-rings, backup rings, wear rings, and possibly a gland or retaining mechanism. This assembly is intended to provide a complete, ready-to-install sealing solution for a specific high-pressure component.

Applications:

• Used in waterjet cutting machines to seal high-pressure dynamic interfaces such as plungers, pistons, or reciprocating shafts within intensifier pumps or cylinders.

• Installed in valve bodies, cutting head swivels, or rotating unions requiring reliable high-pressure sealing.

• Suitable for both pure water and abrasive waterjet systems where leak-free operation under extreme pressure and motion is required.

Features:

• Pre-assembled configuration reduces installation errors and ensures correct seal orientation and stacking sequence.

• Manufactured from high-pressure-rated materials including polyurethane, PTFE, nylon, and high-durometer elastomers.

• Designed to withstand ultra-high pressure, typically up to 60,000 psi (approximately 4,137 bar) or higher.

• Includes anti-extrusion backup rings to prevent seal damage under extreme pressure spikes.

• Precision-machined sealing surfaces for proper fit within cylinder bores or on plunger shafts.

• Corrosion-resistant construction compatible with fresh water, tap water, and mild abrasive slurries.

Maintenance:

• Fully depressurize the waterjet system and disconnect power before removing any component containing this seal assembly.

• During disassembly, carefully extract the old seal assembly without scratching or damaging the cylinder bore or shaft surface.

• Thoroughly clean the gland, bore, and shaft areas using a soft cloth and low-pressure water or compatible solvent.

• Inspect the sealing surfaces for scoring, pitting, corrosion, or wear; repair or replace damaged components before installing a new seal assembly.

• Lubricate the new seal assembly with manufacturer-recommended high-pressure grease before installation.

• Install the seal assembly using proper tools designed to avoid rolling, pinching, or cutting the seals.

• Ensure the seal assembly is fully seated in its designated groove or gland before reassembling adjacent components.

• Tighten any retaining nut or cap to the torque specification provided in the equipment service manual.

• After reassembly, slowly pressurize the system and observe for external leakage or abnormal operation.

• Replace the entire seal assembly rather than individual seals to ensure reliable performance and correct stack height.

• Record replacement date and operating hours to establish appropriate preventive maintenance intervals.
