Pneumatic wipers for protecting sealing systems
Pneumatic wipers protect pneumatic sealing systems against penetrating dirt particles, dust, and other contaminants. Although they do not perform a load-bearing function, they play an essential role in ensuring that primary seals and metal surfaces remain functional over the long term.
Especially in pneumatic cylinders, contaminants can quickly lead to wear, leakage, or damage to the seal. This is why properly designed wipers are an important component for reliable function and a long service life of the entire sealing system.

Pneumatic wipers from INNSEALS
Pneumatic wipers are used in pneumatic cylinders and linear motion systems. Their function is to remove dirt, dust, and adhering particles from the piston rod as it retracts.
This protects the sealing elements behind them as well as metallic surfaces from damage. Without a suitable wiper, contaminants can enter the system and damage the primary seal, guides, or the surface of the piston rod.
Pneumatic wipers in the sealing system
Pneumatic wipers perform a similar protective function to wipers in hydraulic systems, but are matched to the requirements of pneumatic applications. In pneumatic systems, low friction, smooth movement, and reliable protection against particles are often the focus.
The right design ensures that the primary seal, piston rod, and guide elements are protected and that the sealing system operates reliably over the long term.

Your FAQs answered
Frequently asked questions:
Pneumatic wipers remove dirt, dust and moisture from retracting piston rods in pneumatic systems. They protect the internal components and contribute to functional reliability.
A wiper is needed as soon as moving components are exposed to external influences. It prevents contaminants from entering the system.
Yes, by keeping dirt and particles away, wear is reduced. This extends the service life of seals and other components.
Pneumatic wipers are designed for lower pressures and different operating conditions than hydraulic wipers. Materials and designs are adapted accordingly.
No, they are considered low-maintenance. Nevertheless, they should be inspected regularly to ensure proper function.
