Key Benefits of SEAL SAVER®

  • Prevents cylinder rod scoring and abrasive damage
  • Extends seal life by shielding from dust, dirt, and chemical exposure
  • Protects against UV rays, oil, water, and corrosion
  • Reduces downtime and cylinder repair or replacement costs
  • Custom manufactured to exact cylinder dimensions and stroke lengths
  • Field installable without removing hydraulic components

Material Options for Every Environment

  • Ballistic Nylon: Water-, oil-, and abrasion-resistant; heat-resistant up to 121°C
  • Silica Cloth: Ultra-high-temperature protection; continuous exposure up to 985°C
  • Aluminised Kevlar: Excellent abrasion and heat resistance; up to 315°C
  • Kevlar: Superior chemical resistance against airborne nitrates, sulphates, and acids; heat-resistant to 315°C

Each SEAL SAVER® is custom-designed for the specific cylinder and environment, offering reliable protection in conditions where standard cylinder guards fail.

Ideal for Harsh Mining and Industrial Applications

SEAL SAVER® is a preferred choice in the mining sector, where abrasive dust, chemicals, and extreme temperatures rapidly degrade unprotected cylinders. Its unique design and tailored fit offer unparalleled protection, keeping your equipment running and your bottom line intact.

Cost Savings That Add Up

Hydraulic cylinder failures result in expensive repairs and lost production time. By installing SEAL SAVER®, you significantly reduce the risk of failure, making it a cost-effective and proven maintenance tool. In fact, it often pays for itself the first time it prevents damage.

Protect your productivity. Extend your cylinder life. Install SEAL SAVER®, the ultimate solution in hydraulic cylinder protection.

Product Description

Kevlar fiber is a lightweight fabric woven—face down—in a 3/1 left hand twill pattern. The fabric is coated on both sides with medium gray silicone rubber and is resistant to some chemicals and acids. It protects hydraulic equipment that is exposed to high heat and harsh environments, making it a good application in rock quarries or demolition sites where a stronger, denser fabric is needed.

Product Description
Ballistic Nylon is woven from nylon yarns of various denier (weight). The double weave 1050 denier fabric is the most durable for its weight level. It’s sturdy, yet flexible nylon is resistant to abrasions, water, oil, sunlight and tearing and is backed with polyurethane (which aids in waterproofing). The material will not break down with age and can be used continuously in temperatures up to 250 °F, making it ideal for protecting hydraulic cylinders in most working environments.
