Piston seals primarily function as a seal between the piston and the cylinder tube. The service life of piston seals must be reliable across a wide range of extreme situations, including high pressures, significant temperature transitions, and a variety of chemical environments.

The factors that help prolong the service life of the cylinder, in addition to the seal itself having a high wear resistance, also include the low-friction, smooth sliding of the seal over the counter-surface of the cylinder tube. Piston seals are an essential component in many industrial applications utilizing hydraulic or pneumatic systems. The type of piston seal is determined by each specific requirement and operating condition.
