Crosshead (Pony Rod) seals

Within the crosshead area of a plunger pump, the most common seal failures occur because of a difficult combination comprising of high speed, pulsating pressure, misalignment and contamination.

Contamination can also lead to surface damage of the running surface providing extra challenges to the seal.  The purpose of the seal is to keep oil inside the crankcase and everything else out of the crankcase.  Failure of the seal can lead to costly repairs due to cross contamination to the power end

As a result, these factors can cause damage to the environment through the leaking of fluid, lead to high maintenance costs and high warranty claims.
