O-Ring Seals for Static Sealing

O-Ring Seals for Static Sealing

O-Ring seals are commonly used for static sealing applications where there is no movement between the mating surfaces. These seals are made of elastomeric materials such as nitrile, silicone, or Viton, which are chosen based on the specific requirements of the application.

The O-Ring is placed in a groove between two mating surfaces, where it is compressed to create a tight seal. The circular shape of the O-Ring allows it to evenly distribute the pressure, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting seal. O-Ring seals are known for their resistance to a wide range of temperatures and chemicals, making them suitable for various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and hydraulic systems.
