O-Rings
An O-Ring is a simple and versatile sealing device with a circular cross section. O-Rings function as compact and reliable sealing devices by absorbing the tolerance stackup between closely mated surfaces in both dynamic and static applications. Popular profiles are: O-RING SOLID ROUND, X-SHAPE
(QUAD RING) SQUARE SHAPE and HOLLOW ROUND.
Popular Compounds include: (see Tech Center for compound details)
- NITRILE (BUNA-N)
- EPDM (ETHYLENE-PROPYLENE)
- SILICONE
- VITON (FLUOROCARBON)
- PERFLUOROELASTOMER (KALREZ)
- TEFLON
- TFE ENCAPSULATED
- NEOPRENE
- HNBR
- URETHANE
- FLUOROSILICONE
O-Ring Cord & Custom Vulcanized O-Rings
O-Ring cord is supplied as a continuos extruded cord. O-Ring cord can be used to fabricate custom O-rings to meet specific applications where standard O-ring sizes are not vailable. Available in Inch and Metric sizes in materials listed above including FDA Ntrile, Isoprene, SBR and Latex. In addition to standard O-Ring cord the following profiles are also available in various compounds.
- SQUARE
- RECTANGULAR
- QUAD
- U-CHANNELS
- TUBING
- SPONGE (ROUND)
Back Up Rings
Back-up rings are washer-like devices that are used to prevent a seal from extruding through any gaps while under pressure. Back-up rings are not seals themselves, but are usually used in conjunction with O-rings in high-pressure applications. Popular materials are, 90 Duro Nitrile, urethane and teflon.
O-LUBE & SUPER O-LUBE
O-RING LUBRICANTS: Parker provides two lubricants for installation of O-Rings:
PARKER O-LUBE is a petroleum-based grease recommended for use with polyacrylate, Vamac, neoprene, fluorosilicone, nitrile, HNBR, polyurethane, fluorocarbon, Aflas, Hifluor, and Parofluor o-ring material.
PARKER SUPER-O-LUBE is a silicone fluid recommended for use with all rubber materials. Both lubricants are available in packages ranging from 0.5 cc ( the size of a ketchup packet ) to a 40 pound ( 5 gallon) pail.
Extraction Tools
Parker O-ring Installation and Extraction Tool Kit contains two unique double ended brass tools that help make life easier for the mechanic who must install or remove O-rings from hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders or other equipment. Brass tools prevent damage to precision sealing surfaces.Complete with plastic pocket case.
Extrutions
From tubing to clip-on seals,we affer a wide variety of rubber extrusions. These include custom extruded profiles in continuous lengths or cut to length and intricate profile shapes per your specific requirements. Extruded products come in a wide range of compounds to meet various temperature, weather and technical specifications. These rubber materials include: ( some materials available in various colors).
- BUTYL RUBBER
- EPDM (dense and sponge rubber)
- FLUOROELASTOMER / FKM
