    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between HNBR and EPDM seals?

    HNBR: High mechanical strength and good resistance to oil, heat, wear, ozone, and ageing. Well suited to demanding sealing applications involving oils and lubricants.

    EPDM: Excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, hot water, and steam, with good flexibility at low temperatures. Generally unsuitable for petroleum-based oils and fuels.

    Based on our market observations, HNBR seals are common in food-processing equipment and EPDM seals in pharmaceutical equipment. For other applications, contact us to confirm the suitable material.

    Is Type S suitable for high-pressure washdown?
    Yes - it is rated IP69K, covering close-range, high-pressure, high-temperature jet cleaning.
    What is the temperature range?
    The enclosure sealing ring is rated -25 °C to +150 °C and the food-grade silicone cable seal is rated -60 °C to +200 °C.
    Can I get threads other than metric?
    Metric (M) is standard; PG and NPT are available on request.
    Standard or narrow?
    For tight installation spaces choose Type N; otherwise Type S is the default.

    Key Features of Type S

    • Double sealing - a blue H-NBR ring seals against the enclosure and a food-grade silicone insert seals around the cable.
    • Anti-rotation grip - a gear-tooth elastomer holds the cable steady during installation and use, helping prevent twisting while the pressure screw is tightened.
    • Drainable, easy-clean body - the streamlined body has rounded corners, no sharp angles and Ra < 0.8 µm surfaces to support drainage and easier cleaning.
    • Rugged SS316L - corrosion-, impact-, acid- and alkali-resistant for demanding washdown environments.

    How to Select the Correct Size

    First match the AG thread to the equipment entry. Then select a row whose cable range includes the cable's outside diameter. Finally, confirm GL, H, D and SW1/SW2 against the available installation space and tooling.

    Need a Slimmer Body? Type N

    Where mounting depth or clearance is tight, the Type N (narrow) version offers the same hygienic design and sealing in a more compact body.

    Typical Applications

    Type S is used in hygiene-critical equipment and washdown areas, including:
    • Dairy and beverage processing
    • Bakery and confectionery
    • Meat and poultry lines
    • Pharmaceutical production and packaging
    • Biotechnology and cleanrooms
    • Chemical washdown areas
