Abstract: A servo cylinder having a piston of the kind having spaced sections which move into an enlarged diameter low pressure bore portion of the cylinder is provided with a gasket assembly for each piston section in the form of an elastic sealing gasket having a resiliently flexible radial flange extending from an integral collar and supported by a rigid ring having a certain circumferential clearance from the collar to permit radial movement for misalignment compensation. The gasket may be formed in the cross-sectional shape of an L or of a T. Where an L-shape is used, a single support ring is provided and where a T-shape is used a support ring on each side of the radially extending flange which forms the leg of the T oriented 90.degree. would be used. The ring or rings are protective of the radial flange in either direction of movement of the respective piston.
