O Rings

O Rings are moulded circular rings with a circular cross-section sealing is achieved by compressing the cross-section in its housing. O rings are predominately used in non-moving (static) applications. However, in certain conditions, it may be possible to use O rings in moving (dynamic) applications O-rings seal by mechanical deformation that creates a barrier to a fluid’s potential leak path between two closely mated surfaces O-rings are typically installed in a groove that’s machined or moulded in one of the surfaces to be sealed.
