Custom Seal Design

Custom seals are individually designed and optimized for each application, insuring maximum reliability and performance. Custom seals from Clark Seals differ from standard seal designs in that they are precisely engineered for each application using an extensive 144 point evaluation process. Every operational variable is analyzed thoroughly and used to adjust and optimize critical design elements. These elements include features such as case design, beam length, flex thickness, spring position, spring tension, head height, interference, contact width, primary and secondary lip geometry, etc. Custom seals from Clark Seals take approximately 7 days to design, cost the same as standard seal designs, and last approximately 7-10 times longer.
