CFKS DK Oil Seal 20*6*12 NBR Material Double Acting Piston Seal DK Seal

The CFKS DK Piston Seal (20*6*12) is a high-performance, bi-directional sealing solution designed specifically for double-acting hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Its symmetrical profile ensures equal sealing force in both directions of travel, maintaining system pressure and preventing fluid bypass even under fluctuating loads.

  • Optimized Geometry: Symmetrical design provides consistent sealing performance for reciprocating motions.

  • Enhanced Media Resistance: High-grade NBR construction offers excellent compatibility with mineral-based hydraulic oils.

  • Compact Installation: Engineered for integrated piston grooves, reducing overall cylinder dimensions and manufacturing costs. Find your sealing solution with CFKS — contact us for a quote.

The DK-type seal is engineered as a complete piston head component or a robust insert for double-acting actuators. Unlike single-acting U-cups, the DK profile features dual sealing lips designed to manage pressure from both the stroke and return cycles. The geometry is calculated to provide a specific “interference fit” against the cylinder wall, utilizing the fluid pressure itself to energize the lips. This creates a tight hydrodynamic seal that minimizes friction while effectively preventing “pressure crossover,” which is the leading cause of cylinder drifting.

 

For the 20*6*12 model, we utilize a premium NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) compound with a high shore hardness (typically 70-90 Shore A). This material is selected for its superior compression set resistance and mechanical toughness. NBR is the industrial standard for general-purpose hydraulics due to its stable performance in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +100°C. It provides a durable barrier against wear and abrasion, ensuring that the seal maintains its structural integrity even after millions of cycles in standard hydraulic fluids.

The compact 20*6*12 mm dimensions allow for streamlined piston designs. During installation, it is critical to ensure that the cylinder bore is free of scoring or honing burrs, which can compromise the NBR surface. We recommend a “snap-in” assembly approach into closed grooves, provided the lead-in chamfers are polished to prevent lip clipping. Regular maintenance should include monitoring for fluid contamination; while NBR is resilient, abrasive particles in the hydraulic oil can act as an unintended grinding paste, shortening the seal’s effective lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does my CFKS oil seal fail prematurely? Common causes and prevention tips2025-06-26T15:44:39+08:00

Premature oil seal failure can result from improper installation, poor shaft finish, incorrect material selection, or excessive pressure. To prevent this, ensure the shaft surface is smooth and within tolerance, use correct tools during installation, and choose seals made from materials compatible with your media and temperature.

How to correctly install a CFKS industrial oil seal to avoid leakage2025-06-26T16:04:32+08:00

Always clean the shaft and bore before installation. Use appropriate seal drivers to avoid deformation. Lubricate the lip before fitting to reduce friction during the first rotation. Ensure the seal is seated evenly and not tilted to avoid leaks.

What to do when your CFKS hydraulic seal is leaking under pressure2025-05-20T16:33:14+08:00

Check if the pressure exceeds the seal’s rated limit. Examine for wear, hardening, or improper installation. Replace the seal if damaged, and consider upgrading to a high-pressure CFKS seal variant. Also, verify that the housing and shaft are properly aligned.

How to choose the right CFKS oil seal for extreme operating environments2025-05-20T16:34:39+08:00

For high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, or abrasive environments, choose CFKS seals made of FKM, PTFE, or high-performance elastomers. Consider using seals with protective dust lips or metal casing. Our team can recommend the best fit for your application.
