The AE41 is a single-acting wiper for hydraulic and pneumatic applications. The profile removes dirt and other contaminants from the piston rod as it retracts into the cylinder. In this way, the wiper helps prevent contamination from the outside from entering the installation space.
The AE41 profile has a protruding wiper lip, integrated support segments, ribs on the inner diameter and an additional diameter step on the outer seat. The complete profile is made of NBR and does not contain a metal angle ring. According to the datasheet, the wiper is particularly suitable for high stroke speeds.
The AE41 wiper is made of NBR. This material forms the functional wiper lip, support segments, ribs on the inner diameter and additional diameter step on the outer seat. The protruding lip contacts the piston rod during the retraction movement and removes any dirt present.
The support segments prevent the wiper from twisting in the installation space. The ribs on the inner diameter support a functionally correct fit. No metal angle ring is present. The profile is installed in an axially semi-closed installation space.
As the piston rod retracts into the hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, the lip of the AE41 wipes contaminants from the rod surface. The wiper is single acting and performs this function during the retraction movement.
The support segments stabilise the profile in the installation space and prevent twisting. The ribs on the inner diameter support the fit of the profile. No pressure relief hole is required for the AE41. According to the datasheet, the profile offers good to very good wiping properties against dirt.
The AE41 wiper can be used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The profile has a broad application spectrum and is intended for moderately demanding applications in general industry. The design is particularly suitable for high stroke speeds.
The reliable profile design is combined with a good price-performance ratio. The AE41 is manufactured by certified external suppliers. During selection, it must be verified that the NBR version and axially semi-closed installation space are suitable for the application.
The AE41 has an additional diameter step on the outer seat of the profile. According to the datasheet, this diameter step produces a stronger sealing and wiping effect. This is an important distinguishing feature of the AE41 design.
The diameter step works together with the protruding wiper lip, support segments and ribs on the inner diameter. The lip removes contaminants, the support segments prevent twisting and the ribs support a functionally correct fit in the installation space.
The AE41 is specified exclusively with NBR as its material. During selection, the temperature range, sliding speed and medium with which the wiper comes into contact must be assessed together. The profile has a temperature range of -30 to +100 °C and a sliding speed of up to 1 m/s.
The AE41 is resistant to hydraulic oils according to DIN 51524 parts 1 to 3, lubricating oils and lubricating greases based on mineral oils. The profile can also be used with the flame-retardant hydraulic fluids HFA, HFB and HFC according to VCMA 24317.
The permissible operating temperature for the AE41 wiper is between -30 and +100 °C. The maximum sliding speed is 1 m/s. These figures are maximum limits and, according to the datasheet, may not all be reached at the same time.
The temperature and sliding speed must therefore not be assessed separately from the medium and other operating conditions. The dimensions, installation-space design and surfaces of the piston rod and groove must also be suitable for the profile.
Current information about approvals and certificates must be checked in the material data sheet applicable to the respective material. This information depends on the specific compound and, according to the datasheet, cannot be listed exhaustively in the general product information.
The cylinder housing and piston rod or piston must be chamfered to prevent damage during installation. The surface roughness of the piston rod must comply with the specifications of the seal used.
The groove flanks for the AE41 may have a maximum surface roughness of Ra 4 µm. A maximum surface roughness of Ra 2.5 µm applies to the groove base. The installation space must be suitable for fitting the profile in an axially semi-closed groove.
The AE41 is installed in an axially semi-closed installation space. Sharp edges must be deburred beforehand. Seamless chamfers and radii must also be provided so that the NBR profile is not damaged during installation.
Carefully clean the installation space before inserting the wiper. Dust, dirt, metal chips and other contaminants must be completely removed. Grease the mounting surfaces and the wiper before installing the profile.
The AE41 must be stored at a temperature below 25 °C. During storage, the wiper must not be exposed to direct heat sources or direct sunlight. Condensation in the storage room must also be prevented.
The product must also be protected against ozone and ionising radiation. The storage recommendations in the datasheet are based on the revision of ISO 2230 dated 16 September 1992.
When selecting an AE41 wiper, first check the required dimensions and the geometry of the axially semi-closed installation space. Then assess whether NBR is suitable for the medium and whether the temperature range of -30 to +100 °C and maximum sliding speed of 1 m/s match the operating conditions.
Also consider the protruding wiper lip, additional diameter step, support segments and ribs on the inner diameter. The installation chamfers and surface roughness of the groove flanks, groove base and piston rod must also be checked. If an approval or certification is required, it must be established separately for the selected compound.
