Description
DC4 Description The DC4 profile is a shaft seal composed of a single metal cage with a rubber coating and a double sealing lip suitable for linear movements, the fluids being separated by the integrated springs. * Very good static sealing* Very good thermal expansion compensation* Greater roughness is allowed in the housing* Reduced risk of corrosion* Sealing for low and high viscosity fluids* Modern sealing lips with low radial forces* Sealing lips designed for linear movements* Fluid separation system Application All types of linear applicationsShock absorbersPower-assisted steering Materials RubberFKM 75 – 80 Shore AHNBR 75 – 80 Shore ANBR 75 – 80 Shore A Metal cageSteel – AISI 1010Steel – DC01 C490Steel – DC01 C590 SpringSteel – AISI 1070 – 1090Stainless steel – AISI 316| Temperature | -25°C/+200°C |

ACM
Polymers containing ethyl acrylate (or butyl acrylate) have a small amount of monomer, which is necessary for cross-linking; ACM is a material with better heat resistance than NBR. It is often used for automatic gearboxes.
| Chemical resistance | Mineral oils (motor oils, gear box oils, ATF oils) Atmospheric and ozone agents |

| Compatibility issue | Glycol-based brake fluids (Dot 3 & 4) Aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons Water and steam Acids, alkalis and amines |
| Temperature range | -25°C to + 150°C (short-term peak at +160°C) -35°C / +150°C with particular ACMs |
EPDM
As an Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer copolymer, EPDM is commonly used for hot water taps, cooling systems, brake systems, dishwashers and washing machines.
| Chemical resistance | Hot water and steam up to +150°C Glycol-based brake fluids (Dot 3 & 4) and silicone-based brake fluids (Dot 5) Organic and inorganic acids Cleaning agents, sodium and potassium alkalis Hydraulic fluids (HFD-R) Silicone oils and greases |

FKM
Depending on their structure and fluorine content, the chemical resistance and resistance to the cold in fluororubbers can vary. This FKM-based rubber is very often used for high-temperature hydraulics and pneumatics, for industrial valves, injection/fuel systems, motor seals and high-vacuum systems.

HNBR
This HNBR-based rubber is obtained through selective hydrogenation of the NBR’s butadiene groups. It is commonly used for power-assisted steering and for air conditioning.
| Chemical resistance | Aliphatic hydrocarbons Mineral and vegetable oils and greases Fire-resistant fluids (HFA, HFB and HFC) Diluted acids, saline solutions and bases for operation at an average temperature Water and steam up to +150°C Atmospheric and ozone agents |

| Temperature range | -30°C / +150°C (short-term peak at +160°C) -40°C / +150°C with particular HNBRs |
NBR
Nitrile rubber (NBR) is the general term for acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer. The ACN content can vary between 18% and 50%. While the acrylonitrile content is important, the resistance to oil and fuel is more so. Conversely, the elasticity and compression set are not as good. The NBR has good mechanical properties and good wear resistance. However, its resistance to atmospheric agents and the ozone is relatively low.
| Chemical resistance | Aliphatic hydrocarbons (propane, butane, petroleum, diesel fuel) Mineral oils and greases Fire-resistant fluids (HFA, HFB and HFC) Diluted acids, low-temperature alkaline and saline solutions Water (up to +100°C max) |
