Rubber O Rings
Applications
An O Ring is used as a mechanical seal or gasket. O Rings are made from elastomeric compounds such as natural or synthetic rubber and are widely used in industrial applications. The basic purpose of o rings is to seal mechanical parts against air or liquid or any fluid movement. O Rings are designed to be seated in a groove and compressed between two or more parts during assembly thereby creating a seal at the interface.
Type
There are two types of O-Rings: Static O Ring and Dynamic O Ring. Static Seal is the one which does not move, except for pulsation caused by cycle pressure. Dynamic seals are those seals that are subjected to movement. O-rings are successfully used in both static and dynamic applications
