Sealing plates are composite parts which consist of a carrier element with a vulcanised elastomer profile. They are particularly suited for use as quasi-static sealing elements in flange areas. The type of sealing plate to be used depends on the particular requirements.

Parker sealing plates perform two major functions. Firstly, they are used for external sealing as well as for separating various media (oils, coolants, fuels and gases) from each other in technical components – for example in automotive, mechanical and
equipment engineering. Secondly, they enable forces to be transmitted between flanges.

Major advantages compared to O-rings:
• No seal groove required.
• Easy and fast installation.
• Precise compression of the seal.
• Reduced part of the seal is exposed to the medium.
• High-pressure capability.
• After installation, the sealing lip is protected from external influences and from internal, mechanical overloading.
• Multi-window seals reduce the number of components and thus potential sources of defects.
• Since the sealing plate is visible from the outside the installation of the seal can be visually checked.

Range of application:
The use of sealing plates is becoming increasingly important in various applications and markets such as automotive engineering, air conditioning technology, general industrials, and in the oil and gas sector.
Typical applications media are gear oil, water, fuel, turbine oil, air, skydrol.

Available materials:
Carrier material: Aluminium, stainless steel, steel, plastic
Elastomer: EPDM, NBR, HNBR, FKM
