Advantages

1. Wide applicability: AEM X-rings are widely used in various static and dynamic sealing applications, such as petrochemical industry, automobile industry, aerospace, machinery manufacturing, food and medicine and other fields. Its excellent performance and wide applicability make it an indispensable part of various industrial equipment.

2. Low friction coefficient: X-shaped ring has a low friction coefficient, which can reduce friction resistance and improve equipment efficiency. At the same time, its low friction coefficient also reduces wear and heat generated by friction, improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.

3. Long service life: Because AEM rubber X-rings have excellent high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and low friction coefficient, they have a long service life. With proper use and maintenance, AEM X-rings can provide long-term and stable sealing effects, reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance.

4. Good sealing performance: The sealing surface of the rubber X-ring is uniquely designed, requiring less radial extrusion to maintain an effective sealing effect and reducing the possibility of leakage.

5. Strong wear resistance: AEM rubber X-ring has good wear resistance, which can effectively reduce the wear of the sealing surface and extend the service life of the seal.

Structural Features

1. Large sealing surface: This is the most significant structural feature of the AEM X-rings and one of the reasons for its excellent sealing performance.

2. Less radial extrusion is required: This means that while maintaining effective sealing, the burden on the equipment will not be excessively increased, thereby improving work efficiency.

3. Maintain effective sealing function: Due to the large sealing surface of the X-shaped ring, it can better adapt to various complex sealing environments, thereby maintaining effective sealing function.

A: Common problems include leaks, rapid wear, improper installation, etc. For these problems, corresponding solutions can be taken, such as strengthening the accuracy and fit of the sealing surface, selecting appropriate seal materials and specifications, correctly installing and using seals, etc.

3. Q:What is the difference between AEM rubber X-ring and FKM rubber X-ring?
A: AEM rubber and FKM (fluorine rubber) rubber are both high-performance rubber materials, but they have some differences:

■ Temperature resistance: AEM rubber generally has higher temperature resistance and can be used in a higher temperature range, while FKM rubber has relatively lower temperature resistance.
■ Chemical resistance: FKM rubber has better resistance to a wider range of chemicals, while AEM rubber may perform better in certain chemically corrosive media.
■ Cost: Generally, FKM rubber is more expensive than AEM rubber.
