What is the Use of O-Ring Seal? An O-ring seal is a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) elastomeric component designed to prevent the leakage of fluids or gases and exclude contaminants between two mating surfaces. Its simplicity, reliability, and adaptability make it indispensable across industries. Below is a comprehensive overview of its uses, working principles, and applications, optimized […]

What is an Oil Seal Ring? An oil seal ring is a critical component in mechanical systems, primarily used to retain lubricants (oil, grease) and exclude contaminants (dust, dirt, moisture) around rotating or reciprocating shafts. While the term “oil seal ring” is not standardized, it commonly refers to a radial shaft seal or rotary lip […]

Are O-rings and Seals the Same? O-rings and seals are critical components in mechanical systems, often discussed interchangeably. However, they are distinct in design, functionality, and application. This article clarifies their relationship, differences, and unique roles in engineering. Understanding Seals: A Broad Category What Is a Seal? A seal is a general term for any […]
