Features of an O-ring made of rubber
Jul 21, 2022
Rubber O-ring is an O-ring made of rubber products. The main sealing materials are silicone rubber, PTFE, etc. Let's take a look at the characteristics of rubber o-rings.
Compared with other types of sealing rings, the rubber O-ring has the following advantages:
1. Suitable for a variety of sealing forms: static sealing, dynamic sealing.
Suitable for a variety of uses. Materials, dimensions and grooves have been standardized and interchangeable.
2. Suitable for a variety of motion modes: rotary motion, axial reciprocating motion or combined motion (such as rotary reciprocating combined motion).
3. Suitable for a variety of different sealing media: oil, water, gas, chemical media or other mixed media.
Through the selection of appropriate rubber materials and appropriate formula design, the effective sealing effect on oil, water, air, gas and various chemical media can be achieved. The temperature range is wide (-60℃~+220℃), and the pressure can reach 1500Kg/cm² in fixed use (used together with the reinforcing ring).
4. The design is simple, the structure is compact, and the assembly and disassembly are convenient.
The cross-sectional structure of the rubber ring is extremely simple, and has a self-sealing function, and the sealing performance is reliable. Since the structure of the rubber O-ring itself and the installation part are simple and standardized, it is very easy to install and replace.
5. There are many kinds of materials.
It can be selected according to different fluids: NBR, FKI, SIL, EPDM, CR, MR*HNBR, IIR, FLS, etc.
