Although O-rings were originally named for their circular cross-section, there are now variations in cross-sectional design. This shape can have different profiles such as an X-shaped profile, commonly known as an X-ring, Q-ring or by the brand name Quad Ring. When squeezed during installation, they

In vacuum applications, the material's permeability makes point contacts unusable. Instead, a higher installation force is used and the ring fills the entire groove. Additionally, round retaining rings are used to prevent excessive deformation of the retaining ring. [12][13][14] Because the rings e

An O-ring, also known as a packing or toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is an elastomeric ring of circular cross-section designed to Compressed during assembly between the parts, forming a seal at the interface.O-rings can be used in static applications or dynamic appli
