4042214: O-RING

**Product Description: O-Rings** **General Characteristics:** - **Shape and Design**: O-Rings are toroidal (ring-shaped) elastomeric devices with a round cross-section, designed to create a seal by being seated in grooves and compressed between parts. - **Applications**: - **Static sealing**: Prevents fluid or gas leakage in stationary systems. - **Dynamic sealing**: Used in systems with relative motion, such as rotating shafts or hydraulic pistons. - **Material Options**: - Made from materials like nitrile rubber (NBR), fluorocarbon (FKM), silicone (VMQ), or encapsulated with PTFE for enhanced chemical resistance. **Specifications:** - **Standards Compliance**: Typically conforms to AS568 (inch sizes) or ISO 3601 (metric sizes) standards for dimensional accuracy and compatibility. - **Size Range**: - Cross-sectional diameters from approximately 0.35 mm to 40 mm. - Inside diameters up to 5,000 mm or more. - **Pressure and Temperature Resistance**: - Can seal pressures up to 5,000 psi depending on material and design. - Suitable for a wide range of temperatures based on the elastomer used. **Key Features:** - **Seal Integrity**: Maintains sealing performance under varying pressures, temperatures, and chemical environments due to the resilience of elastomeric materials. - **Ease of Use**: Simple installation and reliable performance make them cost-effective for machine designs. - **Customizability**: Available in standard and non-standard sizes, including FDA-compliant options for food-grade applications. **Applications**: - Commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and general machinery for sealing fluids or gases in pumps, valves, cylinders, and connectors. *Note: This description outlines the typical properties and uses of O-Rings.
