Abstract
Systems and assemblies are provided for sealing an interface between a cylinder and a manifold corresponding to the cylinder. The cylinder comprises at least one port. A manifold interface is arranged adjacent to the at least one port. A seal is located inside of a circumferential pocket, wherein the circumferential pocket comprises at least a portion of the manifold interface. A spring is configured to preload the seal radially inward so that the seal stays in contact with the outer surface of the cylinder.
