Texas Hydraulics, the solution provider in hydraulic cylinder technology, will showcase its Dual Sealing System for long-stroke hydraulic cylinders at MINExpo International 2012 from September 24-26 in Las Vegas. Engineered specifically as a custom solution within the mining industry, Texas Hydraulics’ Dual Sealing System has been designed to prevent rod-seal leakage in the most extreme operating environments according to the company.

Manufactured to be more resilient than standard sealing systems, the Dual Sealing System ensures it remains in constant contact with the rod even during large amounts of pressure spiking resulting in rod deflection and lateral movement. The Dual Sealing System also features high-quality wear rings that provide an additional level of protection. Texas Hydraulics states that it rigorously tested its Dual Sealing System in its state-of-the-art testing facility and in actual field applications. This dual-testing approach allows Texas Hydraulics’ engineering team “to provide reliable cylinder performance for its customers most demanding applications.”

Offered on virtually any hydraulic cylinder where a longer stroke is required, the Dual Sealing System is available on Texas Hydraulics’ Standard and Piggy-back Hydraulic Cylinders. Standard Cylinders are available in both double and single-acting designs and feature durable chrome plating rods, piston sealing, standard and custom mounting, and simple to complex valve integration. The design of Texas Hydraulics’ Piggy-back Cylinder enables a longer stroke with a shorter overall length and is stated as being ideal for applications that require a long extend with a short retraction area.
