Wiper seal for Link-Belt HTC1170

The wiper seal, part number 3J8556, serves as a protective component for hydraulic cylinders found in Link-Belt equipment. It is positioned at the cylinder head to scrape the rod during extension and retraction cycles. By removing dust, dirt, moisture, and abrasive debris from the surface of the rod, the seal prevents these contaminants from reaching the primary internal seals and the cylinder bore.

This component is compatible with the Link-Belt HTC1170 model. Proper installation of this seal helps maintain the integrity of the hydraulic system by keeping the rod surface clean, which assists in preventing premature wear on the internal sealing elements and the rod itself. Maintaining a clean rod surface is necessary for the efficient operation of hydraulic cylinders in heavy machinery.

Wiper seals are used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to protect internal components from environmental exposure. By preventing the ingress of foreign particles, they support the overall functionality of the cylinder assembly and help maintain the cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid within the system.
