{"product_id":"18909-o-ring","title":"18909: O-RING","description":"**Product Description: O-Rings**\n\n**General Description:**\n- **Shape and Function:** O-rings are elastomeric loops with a round cross-section, designed to form seals between parts in both static and dynamic applications, such as hydraulic pistons or rotating shafts. \n- **Material:** Made from various elastomers to suit different chemical, temperature, and pressure conditions. Common materials include:\n  - Nitrile rubber (NBR)\n  - Ethylene propylene rubber (EPR)\n  - Silicone\n  - Fluorocarbon (Viton)\n\n**Specifications:**\n- **Dimensions:** Defined by inside diameter (ID) and cross-sectional diameter (thickness). Follow standards like AS568 (inch sizes) and ISO 3601 (metric sizes).\n- **Hardness:** Measured on the Shore A scale from 10 to 90 durometer based on application needs.\n- **Pressure Resistance:** Capable of sealing pressures up to 5,000 psi (34 MPa), depending on material and design.\n- **Temperature Range:** Varies by material, e.g., silicone works in extreme cold or heat, while Viton is suitable for high temperatures and chemical resistance.\n\n**Applications:**\n- Used across industries for sealing liquids and gases in:\n  - Hydraulic systems\n  - Pneumatic systems\n  - Automotive engines\n  - Aerospace components\n  - Food processing equipment (FDA-approved materials)\n\n**Key Features:**\n- **Advantages:**\n  - Inexpensive and reliable\n  - Easy to produce and install\n  - Available in various sizes and materials\n- **Performance:**\n  - Effective in low-pressure static seals and high-pressure dynamic seals.\n  - Resistant to extrusion under pressure when properly designed.\n\n**Standards Compliance:**\n- Common standards include:\n  - AS568C for inch sizes\n  - ISO 3601 for metric sizes\n  - BS1806 for British metric sizes\n\n**Additional Features:**\n- Specialized O-rings include FDA-approved variants for food-grade applications or peroxide-cured types for medical use. Some are chemically inert or chlorinated for specific industries.\n\n**Conclusion:**\nO-rings are versatile components critical to sealing technologies across diverse industries.","brand":"HYSTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42753661665458,"sku":"HY-HY18909","price":1.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0466\/9630\/0696\/products\/White_and_Red_Round_Fitness_Logo404_7ddd6fd6-711a-445f-ba91-69547531cba2.webp?v=1698615949","url":"https:\/\/www.motofork.com\/en-mx\/products\/18909-o-ring","provider":"Motofork","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
