Product Description

Common metric O-rings are used for sealing applications including valves, engine components, hydraulics, faucets, pipe joints, flanges and more. They are manufactured using various types of elastomers and durometer options to meet a range of sealing requirements.

Product Information

  • The function of O rings is to seal a joining of two pieces to ensure that no air, gas or liquid can pass. 
  • Typically, they are fitted into a groove and designed to resist pressure. 
  • The resistance is what prevents air or liquid from escaping or entering the joining. 
  • O-rings are very commonly found in pumps, cylinders, connectors and valves, helping to seal joins between separate parts and prevent leaking of fluids and gases.
  • They're used with static, dynamic, hydraulic and pneumatic components, making them an especially versatile solution to a very widespread engineering issue.
