Dowty Seal Manufacturer

Dowty Seals are also known as Bonded Seals or Dowty Bonded Washers. They are high pressure seals used in the Mechanical, Hydraulic and Pneumatic sectors. Dowty Seals have generally replaced copper washers in high pressure applications. A trapezoidal shaped rubber sealing element is bonded to the inner of a metal washer to produce the finished part. Used in circumstances where high pressures demand greater sealing capacity than can be obtained with Copper washers. The metal ring prevents over compression and extrusion of the pliable ring.
