X-Rings

Dimensioning of groove for X-Ring

When the piston is eccentric or the rod bends, it is possible to change dimensions of the sealing groove. This may be necessary especially with low-pressure hydraulics and in cases of under pressure.

If the X-Ring material is likely to swell, the groove width can be increased by approx. 15%. Information about groove dimensions for other X-Rings is given where necessary.

When installed the profile of the X-Ring is pressed. Maximum radial pressing increases density and friction.
