Continuous Molding Technology – Large Diameter O-rings
Our homogenous molding technology is recommended for use in any large diameter o-ring groove where spliced or serpentine molded rings may present reliability issues.
It has applications in virtually every market, including: aerospace, chemical
Product Highlights:
- Consistent properties throughout the diameter of the ring
- Easier, more reliable installation versus serpentine molded o-rings
- Reduced potential contamination of leakage through spliced joints
Historically, technology to produce large diameter molded o-rings has been limited by press and molding capabilities. Parker’s proprietary continuous molding technology ensures the strength and reliability of large diameter FKM, HNBR, NBR and EPDM o-ring seals. Parker’s solution eliminates the sealing performance problems sometimes found with common serpentine molding methods and spliced rings.
Spliced o-rings are a good solution for many non-critical applications. Potentially, they may be the weakest at their glued or vulcanized joints. Its physical properties, which differ to some degree from the rest of the ring, can affect a seal’s reliability. A twisted or fatigued splice, for example, can open, creating failure, leakage and contamination issues.
Applications
- Large chambers, vessels, lids, doors and containers where spliced o-rings or serpentine rings may present reliability issues
- Vacuum,high pressure and specialty semi-dynamic applications†
- Anywhere the strength and integrity of homogeneous molded rings are critical for reliable seal performance
Features and Advantages
- Consistent properties throughout the diameter of the ring
- Easier, more reliable installation versus serpentine molded o-rings
- Reduced potential contamination of leakage through spliced joints
- Material choices include basic FKM, HNBR, NBR, and EPDM materials
