Hydro seals

[Cooper]

I may have to go that rout. I just hate when they ask what's it for and when I reply for a toy,model then it's like my money isn't as good. All the places I've been finding on net are more of company's that don't really have online catalogues or online ordering. I like to look at stuff and buy one or two to see if they are what I can use before I buy more. And trying to find seals for under $15 has been a challenge. I would think somewhere there is a place to get 1/4" or close simple shaft seals for around $5 just can't find where.

My excavator uses two O rings as a seal on the piston and for the shaft seals. They are just good quality rubber and are standing up well at 32bar. Only minor weeping after almost two years of intermittent use. I'm not saying that it's as good as a proper seal but it does work.

That is a problem with trying to find a place were to buy seals. The first thing if they ash what it for and you show and the start looking in a book walk out they do not know what they are doing. The place I go the guy knows me now and like the seals on the valve I just showed him said I know what you want , and he walked to a shelf and came back with some how many do you want. Another time I had a cylinder and I wanted a wiper and a O ring to fit in the groove. He walked away and came back with just what I wanted. That the kind of place you want to go to but today they are far and few between. Good luck on your search. Ed
