Question by: Tony S on Aug 31, 2025, 8:14 PM

got a 3 inch bore cylinder. is this seal the right size for that, or am i lookin at the wrong one

Answer by: Customer Support on Sep 2, 2025, 8:09 AM

For a 3.00 inch bore, the bore dimension on this seal matches at 3.000 with a +0.004/-0 tolerance. The matching groove diameter is 2.384 inches, piston diameter is 2.999 inches, and seal height is 0.271 inches, so it is meant to fit a piston and gland machined to those dimensions.

Got a cylinder with a 3-inch bore that needs a new piston seal, this bronze filled PTFE style gonna hold up under pressures around 4,500 PSI?

Answer by: Customer Support on Mar 23, 2026, 6:42 AM

At 4,500 PSI you're well within the rated range for this seal. It's built to handle anywhere from 0 up to 5,000 PSI, so that pressure level won't push it anywhere near its limits. The 40% bronze filled PTFE construction handles that kind of load without the deformation you'd see from a plain PTFE seal under sustained pressure.
