Engineered for your Application
FTL designs engineered seals to meet the precise operating conditions of your system, from extreme temperatures and pressures to aggressive media, high speeds and contaminated environments. Whether you are developing new equipment or improving an existing design, our engineered seals ensure optimal performance, reliability and service life:
- Tailored geometries for static and dynamic sealing
- System‑level design support for rotating, reciprocating and oscillating dynamic equipment
- Material selection based on media compatibility and thermal demand
- Prototyping, validation and long‑term endurance testing
- Scalable designs for high‑volume production
Why Leading OEMs Choose Engineered Sealing
- Increase reliability where standard seals fail in high‑duty or unconventional environments
- Boost equipment performance with low‑friction geometries and specialised materials
- Differentiate your OEM platform through engineered sealing that supports higher efficiency and longer service life
- Fit perfectly into complex housings where off‑the‑shelf profiles can’t meet an existing space envelope
- Optimise cost, durability and lifecycle value by tailoring geometry and materials
- Achieve consistent performance through system‑level design
Your Specialist in Critical Sealing Performance
FTL combines deep application knowledge with full‑system engineering capability. Our team evaluates every aspect of the sealing environment, shaft design, housing geometry, lubrication conditions, pressure profiles, tolerances, surface finishes and contamination risks, to engineer a solution built around the complete system, not just the component. This integrated approach gives OEMs a simpler, more reliable path to performance:
- Shaft and housing interface optimisation
- Pressure, vacuum and speed evaluation
- Contamination control and exclusion design
- Material and geometry selection based on full duty cycle
- Assembly and serviceability considerations
- Validation support utilising our Centre of Excellence test facility
