O Rings Manufacturer • What is an O ring? An O ring is usually known as toric joint or packing. It is a mechanical gasket with the shape of torus. It looks like elastomer with round cross-section, which is specially designed to be seated in the groove and compressed during the assembly that is exactly between 2 or more parts. It is usually to create a seal at the joints. • Where O rings used? • In static and dynamic applications • Static – used wherethere is a relative motion between their parts and the O ring • Dynamic – used in hydraulic cylinder pistons and rotating pump shafts
O Rings Manufacturer • Sizes O-rings come in different sizes such as British standard, which are metric or imperial sizes. The dimensions of o-ring are thickness, outer dimension, and inner dimension. British standard rings defined by a standard reference, while the metric o-rings defined by thickness x internal dimension. Typical formula is internal dimension x cross section. • How to select O-ring? • It’s based on the lubrication requirements, application temperature, size, chemical compatibility, durometer, sealing pressure and cost • Based on the nature of the application, we can select the type of O-rings because it sustains the pressure adequately • Different choices such as Silicone, EPDM, Flurosilicone, etc. Select the best choice based on the application like which O-rings handle the seal, temperatures, etc
O Rings Manufacturer • How to achieve optimum performance? • Metals – It moves over O-rings that have the hard surface such as chrome plated, steel, etc. While selecting soft metals like bronze, brass or aluminium, special attention required • Squeeze – Minimum diametric must observed for a good sealing. When friction is critical, pressure is low the amount of squeeze decreased but caution should excercized • Surface Finish – Surface finish should be held at a maximum finish of 16 RMS, although if you see groove finish have a maximum of 32 RMS • Cleanliness – Clean the systems that make free from the chips, grit, dirt and especially foreign items. Types of abrasive material will cut the O-ring. If you replace O-rings, kindly have a metal chip embedded into O-ring that means a pump issue • Wye-valley - a leading manufacturer of rubber mouldings, rubber components and post moulding operations in the UK over twenty years.
