Sealparts Ltd is an authorised distributor of hydraulic, pneumatic and static seals, based in Coalport on the north bank of the River Severn in Telford, Shropshire. We serve OEMs, maintenance engineers, hydraulics specialists and procurement teams across the UK, Ireland and Europe from this location, combining stockholding, technical identification and custom manufacturing coordination under one engineering-led supply chain.
Where is Sealparts based?
Our offices and despatch operation are in Coalport, Telford, within the Ironbridge Gorge area of Shropshire. Telford sits on the M54 corridor between Birmingham and Shrewsbury, giving same-day courier access to the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Cheshire and the North West, and next-day road distribution to most of England, Wales and Scotland. Export shipments to Ireland and continental Europe leave from the West Midlands via tracked courier and freight services.
What does Sealparts do?
We specialise in the supply, identification and replacement of seals for fluid power and static applications. Our work falls into five areas:
- Authorised distribution — we hold and supply genuine seals from Sakagami, Guarnitec, Tecnotex, Tecnolan and Accofluor, with factory traceability and correct compound codes.
- Part-number identification — we cross-reference worn or unmarked seals against manufacturer catalogues, sample dimensions and photographs.
- Bespoke and replacement manufacture — when a catalogue part is obsolete, oversized, or no longer made, we arrange tooling and production of equivalents from drawings, samples or groove measurements.
- Urgent breakdown support — same-day or next-day despatch of critical seals for plant, mobile hydraulics, presses and agricultural machinery.
- Kitting and scheduled supply — we assemble seal kits for production lines, service departments and aftermarket programmes with part-numbered bags, documentation and repeat-call-off options.
Products we supply
The catalogue covers rod seals, piston seals, wipers and dust seals, wear rings, O-rings, back-up rings, buffer rings, rotary seals and custom-moulded elastomer and PTFE components. Materials include NBR, HNBR, FKM, EPDM, silicone, polyurethane, PTFE, PEEK and filled compounds for high pressure, high temperature, food-grade, water and aggressive media applications.
Manufacturers represented
We are an authorised UK and European distributor for:
- Sakagami — Japanese hydraulic and pneumatic rod, piston and dust seals.
- Guarnitec — Italian hydraulic seals and complete catalogue systems.
- Tecnotex — Italian polyurethane and elastomer hydraulic seals.
- Tecnolan — Italian engineered polyurethane seals.
- Accofluor — Danish PTFE and spring-energised seals.
How we work with engineers
Most enquiries arrive with a part number, a photograph of a worn seal, or a set of groove dimensions. Our engineering team checks the application against the manufacturer data, recommends the correct profile and compound, and confirms availability or manufacturing lead time. For new designs we review pressure, temperature, speed, media, surface finish, extrusion gap and dynamic conditions before proposing a seal system.
Industries we support
We supply seals into construction equipment, agricultural machinery, machine tools, presses, injection moulding, food and pharmaceutical processing, water and wastewater, rail, marine, aerospace ground support, motorsport and general industrial maintenance. Whether the requirement is a single replacement seal or a scheduled production kit, the same identification and quality process applies.
How to contact Sealparts
Enquiries can be submitted through the website enquiry forms, by email, or by telephone during UK business hours. For O-ring tooling searches, dimension lookups and catalogue requests, use the relevant section of this site. For application engineering, reverse engineering or urgent breakdown support, send dimensions, photographs or the existing part number and we will respond with a quotation and lead time.
