How Spring Energized Seals Work

Diagram explaining how spring energized seals work with ultra seal.

It comes down to the combination of a precision machined polymer jacket and a metallic spring energizer.


The spring provides a consistent mechanical load to help maintain sealing contact as operating conditions change, while the polymer jacket provides the primary sealing interface.


This combination makes spring energized seals well suited for demanding applications involving:

• Extreme temperatures
• Chemical compatibility
• Low friction requirements
• Vacuum service
• Dynamic applications


Different jacket profiles, materials, and spring configurations can be selected to meet the specific requirements of an application. 


The combination of spring load and jacket design helps deliver optimized performance in demanding applications.


At Ultra Seal, we work with customers to develop sealing solutions around the application rather than forcing the application around a standard seal.
