Function and use

O-rings are sealing elements which, upon being subjected to pressure, function in both radial and axial directions.
After pressure is applied to a system, the O-ring generates sealing power. As the operating pressure increases, so The most important factors for determining the right O-ring hardness are the value of operating pressure and
does the overall sealing pressure. In comparision to other sealing elements, the width of sealing joint. For high pressures and wide sealing joints, it is advisable to choose harder materials to
O-rings have a number of advantages: prevent the O-ring from being pressed into the sealing joint.
- easy installation If structurally possible, using a O-ring with medium hardness together with a back-up ring is a technically better
- availability on stock solution as the compressive deformation is lower at 70 Sh than at 90 Sh.
- cost effective
- wide range of use in both static and dynamic applications. O-ring ordering example
O-rings can be used in a number of industrial applications. Due to a wide range of compounds with different
properties, O-rings can be employed to seal virtually all fluids and gases.

Installation instructions 2. DETERMINING THE RIGHT O-RING SIZE
Given the functionality and quality of O-rings, they are most suitable for static application. For dynamic applications, It is always advisable to choose O-rings with the largest thickness (d2) possible as they have several advantages
there are certain restrictions which must be observed. It is important to comply with pressure and temperature compared to O-rings with lower d2 values:
limits, medium type, surface roughness, size of sealing joint and other parameters. - lower abrasion which means higher service life
- lower deformation
The following graphs show values for compression of O-rings for various applications. If these values are observed, - larger contact surface
sufficient contact surface necessary for good sealing peformance is ensured. In dynamic applications, these values
must be lower due to higher friction.
Fig. 6
To determine the dimensions of the groove and the inner diameter of the O-ring, proceed as follows:
- choose the highest possible thickness (d2) for your construction

- dimensions of L1 and S grooves can be found in the tables for installing dimensions
- the basic groove dimension is given for the main ring types:
a) sealing on the outside da = Da - 2 x S
b) sealing on the inside Db= db + 2 x S
- the inner dimension (d1) is determined according to the moulds list for the main ring types:
- sealing on the outside:
- the inner O-ring diameter should be identical or only slightly smaller than the
da groove diameter
deformation (%)
d1 = da
< max. 6 %
- it is recommended to lightly position the ring on the groove diameter
- sealing on the inside:

- the inner O-ring diameter should be identical or only slightly smaller or larger than
the db piston rod diameter
> max. 3 %
thickness d2 (mm) d1 = db
< max. 6 %
- this ensures that the O-ring has the desired larger dimension on the outer diameter

are fitted tightly enough. This ensures that the sealing surfaces cannot disconnect under pressure and prevents
occurance of gaps.
If optimal construction is presumed, pressures of 1000 bar and higher can be sealed. If the pressure comes from
the outside, it is necessary to choose O-rings with slightly smaller (about 1 - 2%) d1 inner diameter than the inner
groove diameter d3. If the pressure comes from the inside, it is necessary to chose O-rings with slightly larger
(about 1 - 2%) outer diameter than the groove diameter D3.

Groove dimensions for O-rings used for vacuum sealing 6,35 0,55 6,99 0,4
6,5 0,55 7 0,4
Take care that the O-ring fills the groove as tightly as possible so that no leakage occurs as a result of shrinkage 6,99 0,55 7,5 0,4
of the elastomeric substance in the vacuum. Moreover, it is necessary to prevent the O-ring from moving in the 7 0,55 8 0,4
groove. The processing of sealing surfaces should be carried out with the greatest possible care. For vacuum 7,5 0,55 8,4 0,4
sealing, gas permeability of the O-ring material is a significant factor. This material characteristic depends on the 8 0,55 8,5 0,4
nature of material and varies with temperature. Butyl and Viton are suitable materials for this sealing type; kalrez 8,4 0,55 9 0,4
can also be used under certain circumstances. 8,5 0,55 10 0,4

X-rings were primarily developed to limit the twisting of rings in the groove. The base is the square-shaped cross-
section with ring grooves. The width and thickness of these rings correspond with the dimensions of the classical
O-rings. Therefore, both types are exchangeable. The ring has a small touch surface for pressure up to 40 bars as
well as less friction than the O-ring.
The X-ring cannot roll away and therefore it will also not twist. An advantage of the X-ring over the O-ring is only
the fact that it is more advantageous for radial movement if it is not possible to use shaft seals. The life cycle is
dependent upon the quality of the surface of the friction surfaces.
