Wiper WIP
WIP wipers are polyurethane protective seals for hydraulic cylinder rods, used in industrial and mobile applications where protecting the sealing system against dust and external impurities is essential. The WIP profile is designed for high cleaning efficiency and a long service life under intensive operating conditions.
The importance of WIP wipers for protecting hydraulic cylinders against dust and external impurities
WIP wipers block the access of dust, mud, water, and other contaminants to the internal seals of the hydraulic cylinder. Without effective protection at the rod level, contaminants quickly penetrate and degrade the rod seal, leading to external oil leaks and premature repairs. You can find the complete catalog of hydraulic wipers on Hydraulic Seals Store.
Properties of the polyurethane used in WIP wipers and its resistance to wear in demanding applications
Polyurethane has superior resistance to abrasive wear compared to NBR or standard rubber, maintaining cleaning efficiency after thousands of operating cycles. It has good resistance to mineral hydraulic oils and operates at temperatures between -30°C and +110°C. The contact lip does not permanently deform under the pressure and temperature variations specific to intensive industrial applications. Also compare with WEL wipers with a thin profile for shallow grooves.
How WIP wipers contribute to maintaining the efficiency of hydraulic sealing systems
A functional WIP wiper indirectly extends the service life of the entire set of cylinder seals. By blocking contaminants on the outside, it reduces abrasive wear of the rod seal, piston seals, and guide rings. Preventive replacement of the WIP during each overhaul is the most economical form of protection. Also compare with WDA wipers for applications with repeated cycles and vibrations.
