ECLASS Classification

Zilken’s range of seals falls under the ECLASS segment “Machine Elements, Fasteners, Mounting Hardware, and Fittings,” where it covers the entire spectrum of the “Seals” main group: from flat seals and profiled flat seals to Round cord and profiled cord seals (O-rings, round cords) to shaft seals, stuffing box seals, diaphragm and bellows seals, translational seals (rod/piston seals), and sealing compounds. In addition, there are material washers and rings from the adjacent main group “Washers, Rings, and Spacers.”

Can't find what you're looking for?

Thanks to a network of over 400 specialized suppliers and decades of procurement expertise, Zilken ensures that customers always receive the right gasket—whether it’s a standard mass-produced part or a hard-to-find custom-made gasket.

Up to 62 parts, one kit: Process costs reduced by up to 60%

To support its expansion into North America, Zilken developed an integrated assembly kit concept for HSP high-voltage devices. Up to 62 items are assembled into complete, ready-to-assemble kits and made available directly on the production line according to production logic: ready to assemble.

The result: lower process costs, consistent material availability, and a standardized production logic for the sites in Canada and the U.S.

FAQ

What materials are available for gaskets?

The range is broad: from classics such as NBR, FKM (Viton), and EPDM to high-performance materials such as PTFE, FFKM, and silicone. The right material depends largely on your application; please contact us, and together we’ll find the right solution. We source materials that we don’t have in stock through our network.

Do you provide support with standards, compliance, and regulatory requirements?

Yes, and we go beyond simply delivering the product. We contribute our technical expertise: in selecting seals that comply with standards, in addressing questions about approvals and regulatory requirements, and in technical specifications.

If you're unsure which standard or certification your application requires, we'll work with you to clarify this and provide the appropriate documentation.

Which seals are suitable for demanding industrial environments?

It’s especially worth talking to us when dealing with challenging operating conditions. Whether it’s aggressive media, high temperatures, high pressure, or requirements for electrical conductivity or insulation: we listen, understand what really matters in your application, and work with you to develop the right material and design solution. You don’t need to come to us with the perfect specification already in mind—often, it only emerges through our discussion.

Do you also carry hydraulic and pneumatic seals?

Static and rotary seals are at the core of our product line. We source dynamic hydraulic seals—such as rod seals, piston seals, and groove rings, as well as scrapers and guide elements—through our supplier network.

Are custom dimensions and custom designs possible?

Yes, custom dimensions and customer-specific designs are among our areas of expertise and often serve as the starting point for our collaboration. Based on your drawing, specification, or sample, we review the dimensions, material, color, hardness, and relevant standards and certifications. We then assess the technical and economic feasibility and source the appropriate design through our supplier network.
