O-Rings
The O-RINGS in elastomer have a round shape,vulcanized in tools.
Working
The O-RINGS must prevent the fluid leakage between two metal surfaces so that they must have a radial
compression.This strength combined with the one of the fl uid to be sealed, increased by the pressure, can guarantee a perfect sealing.
Elastomer extruded cord
For static applications it is possible to obtain O-RINGS by using an extruded cord joined with an appropriate glue.
The most common sizes in NBR and FPM elastomers are available ex-stock.
Hot vulcanized O-RINGS
In case of a non standard size, for static applications,O-RINGS can be obtained by using an extruded cord
with an hot vulcanized vacuum operation.Available elastomers: NBR-FPM-MVQ-EPDM-FMQHNBR

You can search by the o-ring's dimensions, then you will be provided with all possible options.
