O-rings – what are they and what are they used for?

O-rings are likely something that each of you has encountered at least once in your life. They are a group of flexible products with a circular cross-section, characterized by a toroidal shape, and they vary widely in size. This, however, allows for a very broad range of applications, as they can be used in both very small, simple systems as well as much larger ones with significantly more complex structures. The O-rings we offer are designed to protect individual components of mechanisms equipped with them from contact with water, gas, oil, or grease, which is why they are so crucial for the proper functioning of various machines. O-rings are therefore intended for sealing and securing joints. O-rings are made from flexible materials, which makes them easy to stretch and adapt to the shape of the structural parts they are meant to secure. They also provide excellent protection against leaks.

What types of O-rings can be found on the market?

What else is worth knowing when considering purchasing O-rings available in the ROMBOR store? O-rings can be used with both stationary and moving components. Additionally, they are divided into several types, among which the most popular are: NBR, FKM/FPM, EPDM, and silicone. The first ones mentioned are particularly resistant to industrial acids, hydraulic fluids, and mineral, vegetable, and animal oils. FKM/FPM O-rings are suitable for use at very high temperatures, reaching even above 200 degrees Celsius. Moreover, they remain inert to the effects of exposure to sunlight. EPDM O-rings can effectively perform their role in mechanisms where there is a risk of inorganic acid leakage. Silicone models, on the other hand, are the most temperature tolerant, as they do not lose their properties regardless of whether they are used at -50 or even 300 degrees Celsius. Additionally, not only water but also salt solutions and ozone are not harmful to them.

Furthermore, thanks to such a wide range of offerings, our O-rings can be easily matched to the specifications and dimensions of the specific device in which they are to be placed.

Where can O-rings be used?

Encouraging interest in our O-rings, it should be mentioned that this type of double-sided seal guarantees its users the expected performance even in the absence of pressure within the systems equipped with them. Moreover, their flexibility allows them to distribute evenly in any direction, making it difficult for inappropriate substances to access the components they protect. In the offer we have prepared for you, you can find technical seals as well as automotive ones, for steam boilers, compressors, pipelines, and many other structures. They perform very well, therefore, m.in. in the mentioned automotive industry, but also play a significant role, for example, during engine construction. Their universality results in a continuous high demand, and more and more customers of the ROMBOR store are gladly purchasing them in bulk quantities.
