Temperature figures refer to mineral oils. Due to the large choice of media with different and varying additives, which is not always
easily comprehensible, the above operating limits are only recommended values. We recommend testing resistance in the specific
case.
Individual instances of the operating limits stated may be exceeded taking into account the related operating conditions.
With a long duty cycle, stop-start operation or other difficult operating conditions it is recommended that these values are not
simultaneously exploited to the full.

Gap dimension
The dimension D2 is determined under load with reference to the maximum permissi-
ble extrusion gap, the tolerance levels, the guide play and the compressive deflection
of the guide. → Technical Manual. The maximum permissible extrusion gap with one-
sided position of the piston rod is primarily determined by the maximum operating
pressure and the temperature-dependent form stability of the sealing material.

Mode of operation
The Omegat OMS-MR PR has an integrated pressure-relief function. Once the gap
pressure pz is greater than the pressure in the main area pH (e.g. caused by poor
speed conditions during extension and retraction) the seal is reliably relieved. The
sealing function of the Omegat OMS-MR PR is similar to the tried-and-trusted Omegat
seals.

When fitting the Omegat OMS-S the elastomer profile ring is first placed in the hous-
ing groove, then the profile ring is deformed to a kidney shape and sprung into place.
During this process it is to be ensured no sharp kinks are produced in the PTFE profile
ring and that the sealing edge is correctly arranged in relation to the direction of the
pressure. The entire fitting operation is only allowed to be performed over rounded
edges.

To achieve the desired sealing effect with open or cut seal sets, the circumference
length must be greater than the length calculated from the nominal diameter. The
specific added length enables the required pressing at the joint sections.
Careful fitting is a prerequisite for the correct function of the seal. On fitting every ring
is individually inserted into the sealing area at multiple points – with the joint sections
first. In this regard the joint sections take the "position after installation" shown in the
illustration and should be positioned offset 120° from ring to ring, as shown in the
illustration. Before fitting the seals must be greased. The use of neutral, compatible
greases is beneficial. This grease substantially reduces the friction and makes the
assembly easier. When tightening the gland all rings of the seal set are brought to the
final position.

Temperature figures refer to mineral oils. Due to the large choice of media with different and varying additives, which is not always
easily comprehensible, the above operating limits are only recommended values. We recommend testing resistance in the specific
case.
Individual instances of the operating limits stated may be exceeded taking into account the related operating conditions.
With a long duty cycle, stop-start operation or other difficult operating conditions it is recommended that these values are not
simultaneously exploited to the full.

Design notes
Gap dimension d2
The largest gap dimension occurring on the non-pressurised side of the seal in opera-
tion is of vital importance for the function of the seal. → Technical Manual. Regard
must be paid to the dimensions d1 and df in relation with the guide element used.

We recommend the use of a fitting tool for the fitting. Careful fitting is a prerequisite
for the correct function of the seal. → Technical Manual.

The piston seals can be pulled over the metallic face support shoulder by hand or
by using an assessment aid (Gi-Hammer, lightly oiling or greasing seal). For differ-
ent housings, e.g. in old plants, please consult our advisory service. For an optimum
running-in and operation behaviour, the U-Rings should be lightly oiled or greased
(initial lubrication) prior to use.

Temperature figures refer to mineral oils. Due to the large choice of media with different and varying additives, which is not always
easily comprehensible, the above operating limits are only recommended values. We recommend testing resistance in the specific
case.
Individual instances of the operating limits stated may be exceeded taking into account the related operating conditions.
With a long duty cycle, stop-start operation or other difficult operating conditions it is recommended that these values are not
simultaneously exploited to the full.

Temperature figures refer to mineral oils. Due to the large choice of media with different and varying additives, which is not always
easily comprehensible, the above operating limits are only recommended values. We recommend testing resistance in the specific
case.
Individual instances of the operating limits stated may be exceeded taking into account the related operating conditions.
With a long duty cycle, stop-start operation or other difficult operating conditions it is recommended that these values are not
simultaneously exploited to the full.

Surface force
The pressure distribution on the guide F F
rings is non-linear. The non-linear pres-
sure curve over the contact range was
taken into account when calculating the
permissible specific surface pressure.
The permissible load on the guide strip is
calculated by multiplying the projected
area with the permissible specific surface
pressure. However, the figure for the per-
missible specific surface pressure takes
into account the possible angular offset
of the piston when the recommended
guide elements are used.

Surface force
The pressure distribution on the guide F F
rings is non-linear. The non-linear pres-
sure curve over the contact range was
taken into account when calculating the
permissible specific surface pressure.
The permissible load on the guide strip is
calculated by multiplying the projected
surface with the permissible specific sur-
face pressure. However, the figure for
the permissible specific surface pressure
takes into account the possible angular
offset of the rods when the recommend-
ed guide elements are used.

Temperature figures refer to mineral oils. Due to the large choice of media with different and varying additives, which is not always
easily comprehensible, the above operating limits are only recommended values. We recommend testing resistance in the specific
case.
Individual instances of the operating limits stated may be exceeded taking into account the related operating conditions. With
a long duty cycle, stop-start operation or other difficult operating conditions it is recommended that these values are not simulta-
neously exploited to the full.
