At McNeil Industries, we pride ourselves on being a leading distributor and vertically integrated manufacturer specializing in engineered seals, precision bearings, and related components. Serving a wide array of industries, including medical, aerospace, fluid power, primary metal, and power generation, we are dedicated to solving complex challenges for both OEM and MRO markets across the Midwest and select locations throughout the continental United States.
Engineered Seal Products
Our engineered seal products play a crucial role in ensuring operational efficiency and reliability across a diverse range of industries. At McNeil Industries, we understand that seals are not just components; they are critical to the performance and longevity of machinery and systems. Engineered seal products in medical equipment must meet stringent requirements for cleanliness, reliability, and biocompatibility to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance. In aerospace applications, engineered seal products are vital for maintaining pressure differentials, preventing leaks, and ensuring the integrity of hydraulic and pneumatic systems under extreme conditions.
Engineered seal products in fluid power systems (such as hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders) are essential for controlling fluid movement, reducing friction, and preventing contamination, thereby enhancing system efficiency and longevity. Engineered seal products used in primary metal processing equipment must withstand high temperatures, abrasive materials, and harsh environments to ensure continuous operation and minimize downtime. Engineered seal products play a critical role in turbines, generators, and other power generation equipment by preventing fluid leakage, maintaining efficiency, and ensuring operational reliability.
Engineered Seal Technology
O ring seals represent a cornerstone in sealing technology across various industries due to their versatility, reliability, and effective sealing capabilities. At McNeil Industries, we specialize in leveraging O ring seals to address critical sealing challenges in diverse applications.
Other seal types we provide include:
- Spring-energized seals: These seals are designed for extreme environments and challenging operating conditions. They are commonly used in the aerospace, chemical processing, and oil and gas industries.
- Lip seals: Also known as radial shaft seals, these are used to prevent fluid leakage along a rotating shaft. They can withstand high pressures and temperatures, making them ideal for use in machinery such as pumps, motors, and gearboxes.
- Quad rings are four-lipped seals that provide twice the sealing surface of a standard O ring. They are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems and automotive applications.
- V-Seals: These seals have a V-shaped cross-section that allows for high sealing efficiency and stability under pressure. They are commonly used in hydraulic systems, pumps, and motors.
- Square-cut seals: These seals have a square cross-section and provide a strong seal against fluids and gases. They are often used in low-pressure applications such as water pumps, valves, and plumbing fixtures.
- Wiper rings: Also known as scraper rings, these seals remove contaminants from the surface of a piston rod or cylinder. They are commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
McNeil Industries employs advanced manufacturing techniques and high-quality materials to produce seal types that meet the unique requirements of each application. Our team of engineers works closely with clients to understand their specific challenges and design custom solutions for optimal performance.
