RUBBER O-RING - AN ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

A Rubber O-Ring is best described as a donut shaped mechanical rubber gasket that is used for static and dynamic industrial applications.

Rubber O-Ring comes with several benefits. Some of the benefits are as follows:

  • Rubber O-Rings are easy to manufacture
  • Their cost of production is low
  • They can resist pressure
  • They can be mounted easily
  • They can withstand high temperatures

Rubber O-Ring comes in different types of rubber compounds. Some of the common materials used for making these rings are silicon, nitrile, viton and some other types of synthetic rubber materials.



There are various types of rubber O rings available in the market. Some of the major types of these rings are -

·         Backup O Rings - The backup Orings are used to enhance the performance of the chief O rings. The backup O rings protect the seal of the main Oring under conditions of high pressure and temperature. With their help, the main O rings are not only able to perform better but they also last much longer.

·         Rubber Coated O Rings - The rubber coated O rings offer increase resistance to friction. That apart, they are more resistant to weathering and abrasion. These coated O rings are not sticky.

·         Encapsulated Rubber ORings - These Orings come covered with the layer of material that protects them against corrosion. This covering also protects them against high temperature and pressure. The inner cores of these rings are made of rubber.

·         HollowO Rings - Although not suitable for high pressure applications, the hollow O rings are used widely in applications that make the use of nonstandard grooves.

·         Square Rings - Generally called the washer and the lathe cut rings, these O rings come with a square cross section. They are used in applications that require high flexibility.

The benefits of single-sourcing Rubber products supplier

Image
Single sourcing is defined as procuring a specific category of components from one supplier. It comes with a host of benefits like easy management of vendor records, quick invoice processing, and one-point shipment. On a negative note, some buyers feel that it could make them dependent on one vendor leading to forceful acceptance of their terms and conditions. Moreover, situations like quality issues and running out of stock could put the buyer in a delicate situation. But the above negatives are common when you source from multiple vendors too. Here are some reasons why it is beneficial to single-source your rubber products supplier. Benefits of single sourcing from Alfa Rubber 1.       Unlimited supply of raw material: South India is renowned for its vast rubber plantations; this ensures constant supply to meet the growing demands of the rubber industry. With no delay in procuring raw materials, the production never stops, making it a reliable single-sour...

RUBBER WASHER – GET TO KNOW ALL ABOUT IT

Image
Rubber in its various avatars, both natural and synthetic, is used for creating different components for industrial applications. Every rubber material comes with different characteristics. These characteristics determine the components that a particular rubber material can be used for. Rubbers and its various compounds are widely used for creating washers. Washers act as gaskets around bolts and are used in applications that involve high compression. Rubber washers are created from molded rubber. Although washers are made from metal too; however rubber washer ismore popular as compared to its metal counterpart. Rubber washer is more resistant to fluids and it does not rust like metals. Rubber washer is flexible and it is because of this reason that it is widely used in applications that require constant expansions and contractions. Rubber washer can stand the test of time even in very heavy duty applications.One of the main tasks of rubber washer is to prevent leakages by creating...

Rubber Fuel Seal – How to Design the Perfect One?

Image
There are a few factors that need to be kept in mind when designing fuel seals. Temperature ranges that the given rubber variants can work in: Fuel seals are made up of different types of rubber. The kind of rubber variants used for a particular fuel seal depends upon the type of fuel used in the application. Not all rubber variants can work in the same temperature ranges and fuels. Only one or two type of rubber is suitable as fuel seals material for each of the application. It is important therefore to take into consideration the kind of temperature ranges that the chosen rubber variant can work in when choosing the same for fuel seals. Maximum temperature required: The kind of exposure to the temperature that the application involves is one of the most important factors in designing the fuel seals . Other than the kind of temperature range the application calls for, the highest degree of temperature that may be required for the same is also one of the most important considerations...
