INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Sealing Rings

Sealing rings are precision-engineered components that prevent fluid leakage and maintain pressure integrity in piston and diaphragm assemblies.

Component Specifications

Definition
Sealing rings are annular components designed to create a hermetic seal between moving or static parts in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. In piston/diaphragm assemblies, they prevent fluid or gas leakage across pressure differentials while accommodating relative motion, thermal expansion, and wear. These rings function by elastic deformation against mating surfaces, maintaining contact through spring force or system pressure.
Working Principle
Sealing rings operate on the principle of controlled interference fit and elastic recovery. When installed in a gland or groove, the ring's cross-section deforms to fill the clearance gap. System pressure energizes the seal by forcing it against the mating surface (pressure-activated sealing). For dynamic applications, lubrication films reduce friction while maintaining sealing effectiveness through micro-surface contact.
Materials
Nitrile rubber (NBR) for general hydraulic fluids, Fluorocarbon (FKM/Viton) for high-temperature and chemical resistance, Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) for steam and hot water, Polyurethane (PU) for high wear resistance, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for chemical inertness and low friction. Hardness: 70-90 Shore A. Temperature range: -40°C to +200°C depending on material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between static and dynamic sealing rings?

Static seals are used between non-moving surfaces and rely primarily on compression. Dynamic seals accommodate relative motion (reciprocating, rotating, or oscillating) and require special design considerations for friction, wear, and lubrication.

How do I select the right sealing ring material?

Material selection depends on fluid compatibility, temperature range, pressure, motion type, and environmental conditions. NBR is standard for petroleum-based fluids, FKM for high temperatures and chemicals, and PTFE for extreme chemical resistance.

What causes premature sealing ring failure?

Common causes include improper installation (twisting or cutting), excessive clearance gaps, incompatible fluids, temperature extremes beyond material limits, surface imperfections on mating components, and inadequate lubrication in dynamic applications.
