<HTML>Has any one had any experience with, or have knowledge of, force actuated metal seals? These seals are fabricataed from a low friction material such as silicone bronze in a split ring configuration. They have inner and outer rings with a cone shaped interface. A longitudal force (spring), forces the outer ring(s) outward and seals against the housing. The inner ring(s) is forced inward sealing against the rod. In theory, the clearances are zero. Thus, seepage is zero.
