An O-ring is a circular sealing device used in a wide range of applications to prevent the leakage of fluids or gases. They are designed to be seated in a groove and compressed between two or more mating surfaces. This compression creates a tight seal that prevents the passage of fluids or gases between the mating surfaces.
O-rings are versatile because they can operate across a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and chemical environments, making them suitable for various industries and applications, including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Their simple design, effectiveness, and affordability make O-rings one of the most widely used sealing solutions. Proper selection of O-ring material, size, and groove design is essential to ensure optimal sealing performance in different operating conditions.
