Multifunctional Rubber O Ring Seals

An O-ring is a simple and versatile ring-shaped packing and sealing device with a circular cross section. It functions as a compact and reliable sealing device by absorbing the tolerance stack-up between closely mated surfaces in both dynamic and static applications. They are commonly used in machine design because they are low-cost, easy to produce and have simple mounting requirements. Characteristics of O-rings

They can seal over a wide range of pressure, temperature and tolerance
Ease of service, no smearing or retightening
No critical torque on tightening, therefore unlikely to cause structural damage
O-rings normally require very little room and are light in weight
Can be reused, and advantage over non-elastic flat seals and crush-type gaskets
The duration of life in the correct application corresponds to the normal aging period of the O-ring material
O-ring failure is normally gradual and easily identified
They are cost-effective
Where differing amounts of compression effects the seals function, an O-ring is not affected because metal to metal contact is generally allowed for.
O-ring compounds can be selected to resist most environmental extremes
