X-Rings
Key Features:
- ● Four-lobed design: Offers multiple sealing surfaces, enhancing effectiveness.
- ● Improved stability: Resists rolling or twisting in the groove during dynamic movement (a common failure in O-rings).
- ● Reduced friction: Less contact area than O-rings, minimizing wear and heat build-up.
- ● Better lubrication retention: Grooves between the lobes hold lubricant, extending seal life.
Materials:
- ● NBR – general-purpose sealing
- ● FKM – high-temperature and chemical resistance
- ● EPDM – weather and steam resistance
- ● Silicone – excellent low-temp flexibility
Applications:
- ● Pneumatic cylinders & valves
- ● Hydraulic pistons & rods
- ● Rotating shafts
- ● Vacuum systems
- ● Automotive and aerospace seals
Advantages:
-
-
-
- ● Superior sealing in dynamic applications
- ● Longer service life due to even pressure distribution
- ● Less risk of spiral failure (twisting or rolling)
- ● Enhanced sealing performance with lower compression force
X-rings provide a more robust and reliable sealing solution, especially for dynamic systems, by improving stability and reducing wear—making them a smart upgrade from traditional O-rings in many demanding applications.
