Rubber O Rings




O Rings or Rubber O Rings are the industrial rubber products which are produced from synthetic rubber called Elastomers. Rubber O Rings are commonly used in fluid pressure and gas pressure transmission system. O Rings also used in alternative motion seal and static seal. The section of Rubber Seal is circular and due to its round section, it is called as O Rings or Rubber O Rings.  In general Standard O Rings and Non Standard O Rings are produced in a wide selection of elastomers and elastometric materials. Rubber O Rings and Rubber Gaskets are used in a wide range of industries such as engineering, aircraft, construction, manufacturing, mechanical, etc where they act as an intermediate and fill the gap between two surfaces and depending upon their plan, it can be of varied shape.

You can find various kinds of Rubber O Rings or Gaskets, at WyeValley Precison Engineering, where they provide various O Rings such as Nitrile O Rings, Viton O Rings, EPDM O Rings, Silicon O Rings, Neoprene O Rings, Fluorosilicon O Rings, Polyurethane O Rings and you can find different kinds of polymer O Rings with various size and shapes. There are also high chemical resistances Perfuoroelastomers O Rings available at Wye Valley such as Viton Extreme O Rings, Aflas TFE/P O Rings, Viton FKM O Rings, EPDM PC O Rings, at affordable rate. Normally O Rings are made to wide range of specifications such as BS 1806, BS 4518, AS 568B, DIN 3771, SMS 1586, AN 6227, JIS B2401, JIS W1516, and ISO 3601, but these specification are not the limit, there are many other wide variety of O Ring Specification. EMC Shielding O Rings is a specialized custom made product at wye valley for the electronic engineers. These EMC Shielding are available either moulded or jointed extrusion and we supply limitless jointed cords. Also for conductive application, Silver aluminium O Rings and Nickel graphite O Rings are available. Wye Valley is not only the place for O Rings but also for Quad Rings, Gamma Seals, VK Seals, Seloc Washers, Oil Seals, Bonded Seals, Hydraulic Seals, Shaft Seals and Gaskets.

There are certain useful properties for O Rings such as Thermal stability, Low toxicity, Water repelling, Resistivity, Non Stick and Electrical insulation. Also there are certain rubber o rings made up of neoprene and silicon for their unique properties. An O Ring is said to be a Gasket, certain gasket need some compression so they have to undergo a deformation form, for this specific purpose, we use Rubber O Rings. So each kind of Gasket or O Rings have versatile function, which is used based on the industry.

O-rings made of Aflas are generally utillized in chemical and high temperature applications. Aflas® material is an elastomeric based flouorubber and propylene."
