Title: Prevent Fluid Leaks with High-Precision Rubber O-Rings
Introduction:
A single failing rubber O-ring can shut down an entire production line. These tiny circular seals are critical for hydraulic and pneumatic systems. When you buy rubber O-rings, you are buying peace of mind. Let’s look at why rubber O-rings are the world's most popular sealing solution.
A rubber O-ring is a torus-shaped loop of elastomer. It is designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly to create a leak-proof rubber seal.
Versatility: Can seal vacuum or thousands of PSI of pressure.
Cost-Effectiveness: High performance at a low unit price.
| Material | Trade Name | Best For |
| FKM | Viton | High Temp / Chemicals |
| Buna-N | Nitrile | Oil / Fuel |
| VMQ | Silicone | Food Grade / Medical |
Avoid Over-compression: Aim for 10-30% squeeze.
Lubrication: Use compatible grease to prevent tearing during installation.
Conclusion:
The right elastomeric ring makes all the difference. For material compatibility charts, refer to theChemical Resistance Guide.
FAQs:
What causes O-ring "nicking"? Poor groove finish or sharp installation tools.
How do I measure an O-ring? Inside Diameter (ID) x Cross Section (CS).
