Model Back-up Rings -Reliably Prevent Gap Extrusion

SHARE

Back-up rings do not have a sealing function but are used to prevent gap extrusion. They can be used in combination with O-rings or X-rings, both for static and dynamic loads. Back-up rings prevent the seal from extruding into the sealing gap and thus enable sealing of higher media pressures. They are often used in applications with pulsating or varying pressures, such as hydraulic valves and pumps, cylinder bases and heads.
