- Fluoroelastomer (FKM) Provides excellent resistance to heat and chemicals, making it suitable for high-temperature applications and harsh environments.
5. Dust Seals Often found at the rod end of the cylinder, dust seals are designed to keep contaminants out of the hydraulic system, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the seals.
