superman — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 14:30:53 +0000

Advantages Of The O Ring:

1) Simple, one piece groove design reduces hardware and design costs.

2) Compact design allows smaller hardware.

3) Easy, foolproof installation reduces risk.

4) Applicable to a wide range of sealing problems, static,dynamic, single or double acting.

5) Wide compound choice for compatibility with most fluids.

6) Ex stock availability of many sizes worldwide for easy maintenance and repair.

Applications:

O Rings are used as sealing elements or as energising elements for hydraulic slipper seals and wipers and thus cover a large number of fields of application. There are no fields of industry where the O—Ring is not used. From an individual seal for repairs or maintenance to a quality assured application in aerospace, automotive or general engineering. The O Ring is used predominantly for static sealing applications:
1) As a radial static seal, e.g. for bushings, covers, pipes,
cylinders
2) As an axial static seal, e.g. for flanges, plates, caps.
O Rings in dynamic applications are recommended only for moderate service conditions. They are limited by the speed and the pressure against which they are to seal:

– For low duty sealing of reciprocating pistons, rods, plungers, etc.
– For sealing of slowly pivoting, rotating or spiral movements on shafts, spindles, rotary transmission leadthroughs, etc

Abbey Seals stock thousands of metric and imperial sized O Rings ranging from materials such as NBR, EPDM, FKM, Polyurethane, Silicone, PTFE, FDA approved and compliant materials, PERLAST®, ISOLAST®, KALREZ® & SIMRIZ®.

Abbey Seals can supply any bespoke variations of high quality O Ring seals, and can typically have same day delivery within Ireland, or within 24 hours – service that has become part of the norm for urgent replacement parts such as O Rings.

X Rings

superman — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 15:02:12 +0000

Another name for X Rings can be Quad-Rings or Nu-Lips, and they are used in many variations for strong static or dynamic sealing applications. X Rings differ from O Rings where they have 2 sealing areas per side whereas O Rings just have one. This is down to the unique 4-lobe configuration, and therefore they require less compression to maintain a solid seal. It also stops the seal twisting in its groove, so reduces friction and increases the life of seal.

X Rings are also referred as standard size O Rings, having the same dimensions as the AS568A O Rings, and are available in various materials.

FEP/PFA Encapsulated O Rings

Materials:

FEP Jacket: FEP is the abbreviation for tetrafluoroethylene – hexafluoropylene. This material is similar to PTFE although has better mouldability making it possible to produce thin jackets for FEP seals.

Elastomer Core: The thermoplastic FEP jacket is a semi-rigid material. The elastomer core restores the elasticity of the seal. There are two different elastomer cores to choose from:

FKM, -20 Degrees to 200 Degrees
MVQ (Silicone), -60 Degrees to +200 Degrees

Profiles:

Abbey Seals can provide many sizes of encapsulated rings, and hold a large selection of sizes in stock. If the size you require is not in the chart below , we can have specially made for your needs.
