O-RING

$0.90

Description
  • Purpose: O-rings are designed to create a reliable and leak-proof seal between two mating surfaces, preventing the escape of fluids or gases under compression.
  • Material Composition: O-rings are typically made from elastomeric materials such as rubber, silicone, or fluorocarbon. The material choice depends on factors such as temperature range, chemical compatibility, and resilience requirements.
  • Versatility: O-rings have diverse applications across industries, including automotive, aerospace, plumbing, and manufacturing. They are used in engines, pumps, compressors, valves, and various mechanical assemblies.
  • Installation: O-rings are placed within grooves or recesses of mating surfaces. When compressed between the surfaces, they form a tight seal. Proper installation techniques ensure even compression for effective sealing.
  • Maintenance: Regular inspection of O-rings is essential to detect signs of wear, damage, or degradation. Worn or damaged O-rings should be promptly replaced to maintain sealing effectiveness.
