Hydraulic selector

Build the starting point for a reliable sealing system.

Describe the sealing position, dimensions and operating conditions. The selector translates your inputs into an indicative profile family and supporting elements.

Guided selection

Search 48,211 products across 280 hydraulic profiles.

Enter what you know. The selector checks the supplied Kimman product ranges against dimensions, pressure, speed and temperature, then explains the strongest matches.

Step 01

Where is the seal working?

Choose the primary sealing position. The result will also suggest supporting elements such as a wiper, guide or back-up ring where relevant.

Used as application context for the result and technical review.
Step 02

Add dimensions or look up a known product.

For rod-side products, the inner diameter is compared with the rod. For piston-side products, the outer diameter is compared with the bore. Direct lookup searches all categories.

Entering a query searches the complete dataset, independent of the application selected in step 01.

Enter a positive rod diameter.

The bore must be larger than the rod.

Step 03

Describe the operating conditions.

The selector removes products whose published ranges do not cover the entered pressure, speed or temperature. Leave an unknown value blank.

What matters most in this application?

Select every condition that applies. These priorities refine the supporting elements and the explanation behind the result.

Send the result into a technical conversation.

The most useful next step is to combine this preselection with a drawing, existing seal dimensions, fluid specification and actual duty cycle.
