Robotics
The foundations of the modern robotics industry were laid in the 1950s and early 1960s. Since then, robots have developed into highly complex machines capable of autonomously carrying out complex actions and this industry continues to evolve as new demands and innovations emerge.
Robots perform a wide range of activities, including construction, disaster recovery, manufacturing and industrial production, medical and surgical procedures, personal mobility, as well as a range of household and domestic activities. Due to the nature of their activities, robots are expected to operate 24/7 and efficiency and reliability are essential!
Robotics Applications
It is challenging to ensure seal life and performance in hydraulic applications. Not only must leak-free operation be achieved, but high pressures, temperatures, and transverse forces must be sustained. Highlighted here are four of the most important seals for hydraulic applications within industrial Articulate Robots and Disaster recovery / Probe robots.

Pneumatic seals operate in dynamic applications, often at high speeds and generally with reciprocating motions. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions supplies a number of seals, wear rings, and scrapers/wipers specifically engineered for pneumatic applications, where cylinders and valves are actuated by air. In addition, where a standard product type is not suitable, custom solutions can be developed.
