SEALS AND SOFT WASHERS

Quality of materials and rigorous tolerances for perfect assemblies

Elektrozubehör offers a complete range of soft O-Ring gaskets and washers for perfect assembly processes.

The high quality of the materials used for our range of accessories, combined with particular production care, allows us to offer reliable and robust electrotechnical solutions, capable of adapting to the most diverse applications.

The insertion of our gaskets and washers in the appropriate seats fulfills the fundamental function of preventing the passage of fluids, liquids and gases: perfect seal, maximum resistance to wear and mechanical stress, excellent tolerance of temperature excursions and resistance to action of chemicals are key features of these accessories which, despite being invisible, are designed for particularly important tasks.

Soft O-Ring washers: the O-rings that guarantee the best seal

Also called toroidal rings or simply OT, O-Rings are soft washers: round-shaped mechanical gaskets that have the aim of guaranteeing a seal when inserted into the appropriate grooves. These grooves are compressed during assembly between two or more components, creating a sort of unique system.

Soft O-Ring washers are always characterized by rigorous tolerances in both section and diameter: this feature is in fact essential for the gasket to reliably perform its sealing function. They can be used to prevent the passage of different types of fluid, gaseous or liquid material and are generally produced in different materials:

• NBR
• FPM/FKM
• HNBR
• EPDM
• VMQ

As regards the use of the O-Ring, it can be used as a static gasket or as a dynamic sealing accessory. In the first case it will function as a seal between two fixed surfaces, in the second as a seal between a moving surface and a fixed one.

O-Ring soft seals and washers are considered among the most important elements in the design and production of multiple machines and equipment: reliable, economical and simple to assemble, these round mechanical seals are an integral part of commonly used systems such as shafts rotary pumps and hydraulic cylinders.
