Product List for Cord / Rope High Temperature Seals
WHAT ARE CORD / ROPE SEALS
Beldam Crossley cord seals (sometimes known as rope seals) can offer designers and engineers the ability to increase operating efficiencies when installed to reduce hot gas leakage between components in aircraft engines and hot aero structures.
They are generally used to:
- Reduce hot gas flow between two machined or cast metal surfaces
- During thermal cycling, reduce hot gas flow between metal surfaces by conforming to the changing profiles
- Reduce the hot gas flow between dissimilar materials due to thermal expansion
- Act as a flexible joint for components
The cord seals are designed to operate over repeated thermal cycles and the differing thermal expansion between dissimilar components. The standard design is manufactured to locate into an o-ring type groove; other innovative seals can be designed for use in differing applications.
Supporting the need for elevated operating temperatures, seals have been developed to operate continuously in excess of 1200ºC (2220ºF)
