Capseals, Kapseals, Hatseal’s Galore

admin • Dec 11, 2012

No matter what you call it, Capseals, Kapseals, Hatseals, Eclipse can cross it over for you. Has your current seal supplier discontinued a product line that you depend on? Give Eclipse a call and we can cross these part numbers over to our Eclipse Seal Ring numbers for you. We have received many calls in the last few weeks from customers no longer able to get their hands on Minnesota Rubber Kin & Kex Kapseal “Boots”. With a quick conversation, we should be able to cross over these parts and facilitate a quick transition to the new seals. We would also be happy to work with the end user on any test data required to make this transition including material data tests, inspection, or PPAP documentation. Our engineers are currently in the process of creating catalog pages to facilitate standardized documentation for M.R., Trelleborg, & Parker cross references, but in the mean time please continue to contact us and we will continue to supply these on a part by part basis. Thank you for your interest in Eclipse.

Fillers That Improve PTFE’s Performance
By Doug 30 Jun, 2022
PTFE was discovered in the 1930s as an accidental byproduct of chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant production. It’s a synthetic compound consisting wholly of carbon and fluorine — a fluorocarbon. Its many unique properties make it highly attractive as a seal material. It possesses one of the lowest friction coefficients of any known material, is nearly 100% chemically […]
Cantilever V-Spring
By Doug 19 Apr, 2022
Shortly after the discovery and use of PTFE as a seal material, the need for a secondary energizing method became apparent.  Unlike rubber or urethane which possess elastic and spring-like properties, PTFE will not return to its original state once deformed. This is obviously not a desirable trait for sealing material, especially in dynamic sealing […]
