Rubber O Ring Seal , Manufacturer O Ring , High-Performance FFKM O Rings

Products Description

O rings are the most widely used seal in industry because they offer amazing value. They are both inexpensive and very effective. They are also incredibly versatile. They are suitable for both static and dynamic applications. If you are shopping for these seals, it is important to ask what material an O ring is made of before purchasing it. They are made with a variety of elastomer materials suitable for different environments and temperatures, and it is important to choose one made with a material that is appropriate for the purpose.

The beauty of O rings is their simplicity. Simple is often better. Their one-piece construction means they are sturdier and less can go wrong. It also makes them easy to fit, but O rings do not last forever. In industrial settings, if an O ring wears out, it impacts productivity. That loss can be minimized, however, by maintaining a supply of replacement O-rings in the appropriate sizes so that if one goes, it can be replaced immediately.

Products Materials

FKM is a copolymer made of highly fluorinated hydrocarbons and developed during the 1950s. FKM seals display very good resistance to media, ozone and aging. The material is also stable in fuels as well as petroleum-based oils and greases, along with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

FKM rubber can be used from −25 °C to 200 °C and is predominantly used for seals in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry and in petroleum production, along with the chemical and aerospace sectors. Special types of FKM are even flexible at −40 °C. In general industry, FKM is used wherever there are high rotational speeds and high temperatures, for example, in radial shaft seal rings in pumps and transmissions.
