Asymmetric U-Cup

Product Overview

Pioneer Weston’s asymmetric U-Cup is available in both piston and rod geometries and offers a stand alone, robust solution for both hydraulic and pneumatic reciprocating applications.

The asymmetric U-cup may be used as the primary seal in tandem rod arrangements, or back-to-back in piston applications due to the venting lip design.

Under low pressure the asymmetric U-cup exerts low friction upon mating hardware requiring low actuation force.

Available in a range of high performance materials, the asymmetric U-cup offers exceptional performance and service life, whilst minimising the required space envelope required.
