Turbocharger Sealing Rings: Critical for reducing carbon emissions
Traditionally, the turbocharger has been employed as a tool to boost engine power. However, more recently, the technology has been used to enable the downsizing
Our high temperature dynamic seals are trusted by global OEMs to deliver reliable performance in extreme environments.
Cross Manufacturing has decades of experience in designing and producing dynamic seals for the world’s most advanced turbocharger systems, including Variable Geometry Turbos (VGTs). Our specialist rings are designed to seal axially sliding components that control airflow and boost in response to engine demand.
We are trusted to provide dynamic sealing components that deliver maximum efficiency and emissions control using proven materials that withstand the high temperature and pressure conditions of turbo environments.
Using our proprietary forging processes and extensive material expertise, we produce a wide range of dynamic seals for critical turbo applications. Our in-house processes are tailored for the toughest sealing challenges.
Our proprietary forging process is at the heart of what sets us apart. This specialist technique allows us to produce dynamic sealing rings with structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, and repeatability.
It allows us to minimise material waste, tailor shapes and profiles, and ensure consistent quality and tolerances. Ultimately, this process delivers high performance seals with lower cost per part and a reduced environmental impact.
We’ve worked with customers since VGTs entered mainstream production, continually evolving our processes to support changing actuation methods and sealing requirements. Our team understands the intricacies of dynamic sealing, offering flexible, innovative manufacturing support from prototype to volume production.
Cross Manufacturing is the supplier of choice for many of the world’s turbocharger OEMs. Our long-standing reputation for quality, engineering excellence, and adaptability sets us apart in a competitive global market.

We use a range of high-performance alloys including stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys. These materials are selected for their ability to perform in high temperature and high-pressure environments typical of turbo exhaust systems.
Dynamic seals maintain sealing while one part moves against another (e.g., shaft rotation or axial movement). Static seals, by contrast, seal between fixed parts. The demands on dynamic sealing are greater, especially in high-speed, high-temperature applications like turbochargers.
We regularly manufacture rings with diameters as small as 6 mm (0.25”), and we can go smaller depending on the design and material.
