The HUNGER TDMA tandem seal for multi-fluid
outside sealing application is used to seal pistons
and plungers. It can be used with mineral oils and in
modified form with compressed air.
The TDMA seal consists of two parts, an elastic ring
of PUR with 2 sealing lips and a slide ring of abrasionresistant
PTFE-Bronze Compound with 2 sealing
edges. Prior to fitting, the sealing lips protrude beyond
the nominal diameter of the seal and are pressed
against the cylinder wall after fitting. Thus effective
sealing is provided even at zero pressure.
The slide ring is surrounded by the elastomer sealing
ring and moves axially in direct contact with the inside
of the tube. With increasing pressure and compression
of the elastic ring, it is the slide ring which is predominantly
pressed against the inside of the tube. The
outer sealing surface of the TDMA mainly comprises
the slide ring which has excellent sliding properties.
When combined with a surface finish Ra 0.1 - 0.3 μm
of the cylinder tube or the piston rod, minimum friction
levels are achieved with highly efficient sealing and
long service life.
There is no stiction, no unacceptable heat generation
and above all no stick-slip effect.
The TDMA seal is recommended for use where different
fluids on each side are to be separated.
It is also suitable for sealing grease chambers against
the ingress of water or other fluids.
Due to its good dry running properties, it can be used
as a fluid seal on one side and simultaneously as a
dirt wiper on the other side.
