What is Rubber O-ring?

Rubber O-ring is a common sealing element widely used in various industrial fields. It is made of rubber material and has a ring shape with a circular or oval cross-section. The main function of rubber O-rings is to provide a seal between two or more connected parts to prevent the leakage of liquid or gas.

The design and manufacture of rubber O-rings are very important to ensure their effective sealing performance. It is usually made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber materials, such as nitrile rubber, fluororubber, silicone rubber, etc. These materials have good elasticity and durability, and can maintain a stable sealing effect under various environmental conditions. Rubber O-rings are relatively simple to install and use. It is usually placed in a groove in the connecting part and compresses and deforms to achieve a seal. When two parts are joined, the rubber O-ring is compressed, filling the gap between the joined parts, creating a seal. It can be used to seal liquid, gas and dust, suitable for static sealing and dynamic sealing. Rubber O-rings have many advantages.

First, they are low cost and easy to manufacture and install. Second, they provide reliable sealing and can withstand high pressure and high temperature conditions. In addition, the rubber O-ring also has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and can be used for a long time in harsh working environments. However, rubber O-rings also have some limitations. First, they may not be corrosion resistant to certain chemicals, requiring proper material selection.

Secondly, the rubber O-ring may harden or deform under high temperature conditions, affecting the sealing performance. Therefore, when selecting and using rubber O-rings, the requirements and limitations of the working environment need to be considered. In general, rubber O-ring is an important sealing element, which is widely used in various industrial fields. They provide a reliable seal that protects equipment from the leakage of liquids, gases and dust. Through the correct selection and use of rubber O-rings, the reliability and safety of equipment can be improved.
