Radial Out

The seal inflates away from its centre. These can be clamped into place, fitted into a groove, or stretched into position. Common uses for this configuration include airlock door seals and drum/bag filler seals.

Radial In

The seal is well suited to clamping applications as well as shaft maintenance and valve seals. Profile types with large inflating distances relative to their size are not well suited to this configuration.

Axial

Axially configured inflatable seals inflate in the direction perpendicular to the radius of the seal. This configuration is often used in door and hatch seals.
