Pneumatic seals
Pneumatic seals operate in compressed air environments and are used in pneumatic cylinders, valves, and actuators. Unlike hydraulic seals, they are designed to function at lower pressures and require minimal lubrication. Bright Star’s pneumatic seals are known for their precision fit, low friction, and long service life in automation and machinery applications. They are ideal for dry environments and offer excellent resistance to ozone, aging, and temperature fluctuations
