in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the

NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard which is identical with IS0 6547 : 1981 Hydraulic fluid power - Cylinders Piston seal housings incorporating bearing rings - Dimensions and tolerances, issued by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards
on the recommendations of the Basic Fluid Power Sectional Committee and approval of the
Production Engineering Division Council.
The text of IS0 standard has been approved as suitable for publication as Indian Standard without
deviations, Certain conventions are however not identical with those used in the Indian Standards.
Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a)

Wherever the words International Standard appear referring to this standard, they should
be read as Indian Standard.

b)

Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker in the International Standards while in Indian
Standards, the current practice is to use a point ( . ) as the decimal marker.

In the adopted Standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian
Standards also exist. IS0 3320 has since been revised and published as IS0 3320 : 1987 and is
mentioned in this adopted standard. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their place are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

The technical committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has reviewed the provision

Requirements for steel tubes with specially finished bores and has decided that it is for use in
conjunction with this standard.

TOLERANCES

Introduction

IS0 4394/ 1, Fluid pow8r systems and comonents - Cylinder

barrels - Part 1: R8quinnnents for steel tub8s wlh special&
finished boms.

In hydraulic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and

controlled through a liquid under pressure within an enclosed
circuit. Sealing devices are used to contain the pressurized fluid
within components having elements with relative motion, for
example, a linear movement within hydraulic cylinders. These
sealing devices are used with both cylinder rod and piston seal
housings.

IS0 5687/ 1, Hydraulic fluid pow

- Cylinder rod and piston
seals for reciprocating applications Dimensions and
tolerances of housings - Rwt 7 : Nonnal serks.
IS0 5588, Fluid power systems and components -

IS0 5687/l provides details of seal housings of a purely

rectangular profile. However, where it is the practice to employ
a design of piston-head seal that incorporates bearing rings, the
profile of the housing is basically of T form. This
International Standard specifically relates to such applications.

Scope and field of application

Symbols

Symbols used in this International Standard are as follows :

1.l

This International Standard establishes the dimensions

and associated tolerances for a series of housings for hydraulic
cylinder piston seals that incorporate bearing rings.

D = outside diameter bore diameter or rod seal groove diameter) of the seal housing
S = radial width of the seal housing

1.2 It specifieg the dimensions for a range of seal housings

for cylinders of 25 to 5Orl mm.

d, = inside diameter (rod diameter or piston seal groove

diameter) of the seal housing

1.3 It is not the intention of this International Standard to set

forth details of seal design, since the manner of construction of
seals varies with each manufacturer. The design and material of
the seal and the incorporated bearing rings are determined by
conditions such as temperature and pmssure.

L1 =

axial length (seal groove length) of the seal ring

L2 = axial length of the bearing ring

L3 G overall axial length of seal and bearing ring (reference
only)

1.4 It applies to piston-heads that may be either assembled

from a number of components or made in one piece.

Definitions

For definitions of terms used, see IS0 56%.

5.1
The figure illustrates a typical housing covered in this
International Standard.

8.1 To prevent seal damage and to facilitate assembly, provide for a lead-in chamfer on relevant components.

NOTE - The figure is diagrammatic only and does not represent

recommendations for hausing design.

8.2

5.2
Remove all sharp edges and burrs from corners of supporting surfaces keeping in mind that these surfaces are required to provide maximum support against extrusion.

8.3 Ensure that the length of the chamfer is not less than that
shown in the table.

Have the chamfer make an angle, that is shown in the

figure, of between 20 and 30 with the axis.

8.4

5.3
Consult the seal manufacturer for details of housing
design which are not specified in this International Standard.

Dimensions

In the case of one-piece pistons, provide a radius or lead-

in chamfer on the ends of the piston to assist fitting of the seal.

Housing dimensions and tolerances are given in the table.

Use the following statement in test reports, catalogues and

sales literature when electing to comply with this International
Standard :

Surface finish

Dimensions and tolerances for housings for hydraulic piston

seals and bearing rings selected in accordance with IS0 6547,

The requirements for the surface finish of the component in

contact with the seal are dependent on the application and its
life requirements and should be subject to agreement between
manufacturer and user.
