American Seal & Engineering Co., Inc.

The Aerospace Industry

Reliability is Critical

American Seal & Engineering has focused on resilient metallic seals,

sealing systems and sealing technology since 1971. It is this commitment
to our core products that ensures that we can deliver sealing products
that meet critical industry standards that are essential to keeping our
customers’ aircraft engines and airframes operating at peak performance.

Commitment to Reliability Exacting Tolerances

Reliability is the most important aspect
of a sealing system. The safety of
people who operate or travel on aircraft
that use Ameriseal sealing products
depend on it. Our commitment to
reliability is driven by our devotion to
engineering. We do not offer a “one
product fits all” or “off-the-shelf”
solutions to our customers. We offer
application-driven sealing solutions,
engineered and designed to comply
with their unique program-design
envelope. We work closely with our
customers’ engineering team at their
research center, manufacturing site, in
the field or at our facility from project
inception through completion. Our
commitment is to provide sealing
solutions that meet the technical and
commercial criteria of our customers.

The Aerospace industry demands
close tolerances, high temperature
and fatigue resistance in the engine
and airframe sections. The Ameriseal
product line is uniquely designed to
withstand fatigue, temperature cycling
and chemical assault. The precision
of our products helps our Aerospace
customers achieve their goal of
improving performance by reducing
fuel burn, noise, emissions and
maintenance costs.
Diversified Applications
American Seal & Engineering
has sealing products installed in
commercial, military, business and
general aviation engines and
airframes manufactured by major
OEMs.

Types of ASE Seals Used by the Aerospace Industry
Custom-Designed Ameriseal Seals
Custom-Designed Ameriseal Seals are specifically
engineered to provide a solution for difficult and
extreme customer applications and requirements.
Our Custom sealing products requires in-depth
Ameriseal™ E-Seals
Ameriseal E-Seals are engineered to operate in
applications that require light loading, flexibility
and high-temperature capability. E-Seals operate
primarily within the elastic limits of the special alloy
materials commonly used.. The superior flexibility or
spring-back characteristics of the selected specialty
materials are important when used in cavities that
Ameriseal™ C-Seals
Ameriseal C-Seals help overcome both heat
and pressure pulsating sealing problems. Key to
the seal’s performance is the high spring back
characteristic due to the C-shaped construction.
These highly resilient seals can be used for
internal, external and axial pressures under extreme
conditions that preclude the use of gaskets made
Ameriseal™ O-Seals
Ameriseal O-Seals are used when elastomers and
other non-metallic seals will not seal properly
or do not offer the required reliability for the
application, usually as a result of temperatures,
pressures, or the environment. Ameriseal O-Seals
Ameriseal™ Boss Seals
Ameriseal Boss Seals are designed to handle
high pressures and temperatures for long service
cycles. The Boss Seal is designed to address
advancements in Aerospace performance that
have resulted in increased engine temperatures for
longer distances at higher altitudes. These factors
demand hydraulic systems that are more reliable

metallic seal exhibits very good fatigue and
temperature resistance.
of organic materials. This uniquely fabricated seal
configuration is capable of producing relatively
high levels of spring back. The compression of the
seal in a controlled groove or between two radial
interfaces produces a counter load, generating
an effective sealing action that is ideal for these
special applications.

seals, they are not subject to failure due to
incompatibility with the environment, out gassing
or from deterioration due to age or shelf life.
while operating at higher pressure. Leakage and
loss of pressure caused by the degradation of
elastomeric or polymer based seals are a
problem and primary reasons for failure in hydraulic
systems. Ameriseal Boss Seals addresses this
flaw and ensures the reliability of hydraulic system.
