Metal Dimensions
Wiper Key: R = Rod - Wiper I.D. Dw = Groove Diameter - Wiper O.D. Ww = Groove Width - Wiper Heel Height |
Rod Seal Key: R = Rod - Rod Seal I.D. Dr = Groove Diameter - Rod Seal O.D. Wr = Groove Width - Rod Seal Height |
Gland Seal (usually an O-ring) Key: Dg = Groove Diameter - Gland Seal I.D. Wg = Groove Width - Gland Seal Cross Section |
Piston Seal Key: B = Bore - Piston Seal O.D. Dp = Groove Diameter - Piston Seal I.D. Wp = Groove Width - Piston Seal Height |
