FIGURE 5-34 TYPE “BTR” SINGLE ACTING SEAL SET<br />

Type "BD" Double Acting Seal Set<br />

This set consists of two tangentially step cut rings. The rings are doweled so the tangential<br />

cuts are staggered from one ring to the other. The total end gap installed is 17/32 to 9/16 in.<br />

(13 to 14 mm) for PEEK, Bronze & Cast Iron, and 9/32 to 5/16 in. (7 to 8 mm) for Teflon. The<br />

end gap should be maintained by replacing the ring. The set is double acting in that it will seal<br />

in either direction. It is used in cylinders operating near atmospheric pressure to prevent air<br />

from entering the cylinder. It is also used in higher pressure packing cases in the vent cup(s).<br />

Install with the match mark letters facing the pressure. See Figure 5-35.<br />

This set is made up of three rings. The first two rings (pressure side) are radially cut. The<br />

third ring is a tangentially step cut ring. The last two rings are doweled so the end gaps are<br />

staggered. The total end gap installed is 9/32 to 5/16 in. (7 to 8 mm). The end gap should be<br />

maintained by replacing the ring. The first ring, along with the center ring, forms a wedge<br />

that overcomes rod friction and holds the ring set against both groove faces during either<br />

direction of rod travel. This ring set is intended primarily for low pressure application. Install<br />

with the match mark letters facing the pressure. “WAT” rings must be centered when<br />

installed in the packing case. See Figure 5-36.<br />
