Hydraulic Seals
We provide comprehensive sealing solutions including piston seals, rod seals, and vee packing for industrial hydraulic systems. Our inventory features standard and custom-engineered seals from trusted brands like Trelleborg. Products are available in multiple materials including NBR, PTFE, and polyurethane to suit diverse operating conditions.
Cylinder Components
Our selection includes chrome-plated piston rods, honed tubing, and gland assemblies for hydraulic cylinder repair and manufacturing. Components meet ASTM standards and are available in various sizes and materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum for different pressure and environmental requirements.
Custom Machined Seals
We offer precision-machined seals for unique or obsolete applications where standard products won't work. Our capabilities include producing seals up to 1400mm in diameter from materials like PTFE, rubber, and composite polymers, with expedited options available for urgent needs.
Marine Bearings
Kraken marine bearings provide durable solutions for stern tube, strut, and rudder applications in commercial and recreational vessels. These rubber-lined brass bearings accommodate various shaft sizes while resisting corrosion and vibration in saltwater environments.
Honed Tubing
We supply cold-drawn seamless steel tubing with honed interior surfaces for hydraulic systems requiring exact tolerances. The cross-hatch finish improves oil retention and reduces friction, enhancing performance in high-pressure applications across manufacturing and construction industries.

I have personally worked Kurt Totten, Leigh Ellison, and Joe Arredondo at CRC every week for the past two years. They are an incredible group to work with and go above and beyond on each and every request I have sent to them. I highly recommend their services for sealing and material. Their material is high quality and their prices are reasonable and competitive.

The attention to detail and customer service from Leigh Ellison at CRC is top notch. I have always received immediate replies to any of my inquiries. She is very knowledgeable with the products and has always been so helpful with any technical questions that I may have. If we have any issues with a delivery or price she's been willing to try and negotiate on our behalf in tight budgetary situations. Their prices are competitive and I highly recommend Leigh and CRC for sealing needs.

CRC is the most helpful resource especially when looking for rare parts and seals. I've been using them for many years and they've never let me down! I prefer using their custom seals over anyone else! Tri-State Hydraulics Chattanooga TN
