Pneumatic Piston Seals
Pneumatic piston seals are dynamic profiles that separate the working chambers on an air cylinder piston. Their opposed or directional lips contain compressed air with limited drag, allowing smooth, responsive reciprocation while maintaining useful chamber isolation through repeated automation cycles.
