Back-ups
Back-up rings are installed together with o-rings or other accompanying seals to prevent gap extrusion in sealing applications. They are available in a spiral, split, or solid design.
Parback® backup ring with a curved cross-section.
Parbaks are contoured on one face to minimize distortion of the o-ring when under pressure. Parbaks should be installed with the contoured face against the o-ring, but reversal does no harm.
90A Durometer | Buna-N Rubber Material | 5 3/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | 1/8 in Cross Section | Backup Ring
Features
- Excellent extrusion resistance
- Easily stretched for installation
- Lubrication is enhanced by rubber which absorbs system fluid and does not plate out on rubbing surfaces
Style 590 Back-up Rings feature exceptional strength and abrasion resistance along with a 53 Shore D hardness rating which makes them suitable for high pressure service where extrusion is a problem. Primarily used as a u-seal back-up, these rings can be used with o-rings. They also retrofit urethane and PTFE back-up rings, with greater performance characteristics. “S” suffix designates a split ring.
53 Shore D Durometer | Hytrel Material | 5 3/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | 5/16 in Cross Section | Backup Ring
Features
- High strength and abrasion resistance
- Wide temperature range
- Chemical resistance
- Low friction
- Easy installation
