Note: Polyurethane seals are standard for most applications. PTFE seals for high pressure, Viton for high temperature.
Reference
Friction Force = μ × P × π × D × Seal Width
Friction HP = (F × Speed) / (6600 × 12)
Seal Life depends on pressure, speed, and temperature factors
μ ≈ 0.05 for lubricated hydraulic seals
