O RINGS AND SEALS

O RINGS AND SEALS

Rubber O rings are the most common seals available. They are widely used in industrial applications such as hydraulics. There are no fields of industry where the O-Ring is not used. From an individual seal for repairs or maintenance to a quality assured applications in general engineering. The O-ring is used predominantly for static sealing applications:

– As a radial static seal, e.g. for bushings, covers, pipes, cylinders.

– As an axial static seal, e.g. for flanges, plates, caps.

O-Rings in dynamic applications are recommended only for moderate service conditions. They are limited by the speed and the pressure against which they are to seal:

– For low duty sealing of reciprocating pistons, rods, plungers etc.

– For sealing of slowly pivoting, rotating or spiral movements on shafts, spindles,
 rotary transmission leadthroughs, etc

We manufacture rubber seals from your CAD model or drawing.
