Definition of sealing ring

A sealing ring is a component used to prevent fluid or gas leakage. It is usually made of elastic material and is installed at the interface of mechanical equipment to prevent fluid or gas from leaking from the interface.

Classification of sealing ring

According to different materials and application fields, sealing rings can be divided into many types, such as rubber sealing rings, metal sealing rings, plastic sealing rings, hydraulic sealing rings and pneumatic sealing rings.

Among them, rubber sealing rings are the most common ones.

It is made of rubber material, can withstand high pressure and high temperature environment, and has good elasticity and corrosion resistance.

Metal sealing rings are made of metal materials, and their sealing performance is more superior, and can withstand higher temperatures and pressures.

Plastic sealing rings are made of plastic materials and have good corrosion resistance and sealing performance.

Hydraulic sealing rings and pneumatic sealing rings are sealing rings used in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, which can withstand high pressure and high temperature environments.

Application of sealing rings

Sealing rings are widely used in mechanical equipment, such as automobiles, ships, aircraft, industrial machinery, water pumps, hydraulic equipment, etc.

In these equipment, the role of sealing rings is to prevent liquid or gas leakage to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

For example, in automobile engines, sealing rings are used to prevent leakage of intake and exhaust systems to ensure the normal operation of the engine.

Manufacturing of sealing rings

Sealing rings are usually manufactured by molding or extrusion.

In molding, rubber or metal materials are placed in a mold and molded under high temperature and high pressure to make it into the shape of a sealing ring.

In extrusion, the material is extruded into the shape of a sealing ring through an extruder.
