O-rings are one of the most common spares in sealing items. Its application involves squeezing between two surfaces to stop fluid or air from leaking.
It is commonly used in hydraulic cylinders, valves, pumps and connectors. In hydraulic cylinders its purpose may be dynamic or static meaning, an upward-downward moving motion or fixed in one position.
The material and hardness of the O-ring will vary based on the application, temperature and chemicals involved.
Common materials are Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, Viton® (FKM/FPM), Silicone® (VMQ), EPDM, Fluorosilicone® (FVMQ), Aflas® (FEPM), Kalrez® (FFKM) and HNBR.
HNBR & Viton® AED & LT AED grades are also available.
We have been specialists in the manufacturing of O-rings since 1965.
