Cord seal can be supplied in three different styles:
Cord Seals (also known as rope seal) offers designers and engineers the ability to increase operating efficiencies by reducing hot gas leakage between components in aircraft engines, other turbines and high-temperature static sealing applications.
The seals are designed to operate over multiple thermal and mechanical cycles, whilst also accommodating differing rates of expansion due to temperature 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, the seals have been developed to operate continuously up to of 1200°C (2220°F).
