The X-ring rubber seal in the pneumatic system is a commonly used sealing element used to ensure the normal operation and sealing performance of the pneumatic system.

1. Characteristics
X-ring rubber seals for pneumatic systems have the following features:

X-ring structure

X-ring seal adopts a special X-shaped cross-section structure and has a double-lip sealing effect. This structure allows the seal to provide better sealing performance when compressed while maintaining its original shape when rebounding, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable seal.
Good sealing performance

X-ring seals can effectively resist the leakage of gas media and ensure the sealing performance of the pneumatic system. Its double lip structure provides better sealing effect and is suitable for high and low pressure pneumatic systems.
Wear-resistant and durable

X-ring rubber seal is made of high-quality rubber material and has good wear resistance and durability. It withstands friction and wear in pneumatic systems, extending seal life.
Temperature resistance

X-ring seals can choose appropriate rubber materials according to different working environments to adapt to different temperature ranges. It can maintain good sealing performance under high or low temperature conditions.

Chemical resistance

X-ring seal can choose suitable rubber materials to adapt to the chemical media that may exist in the pneumatic system, and has good corrosion resistance.

2. Structure

X-ring rubber seals are usually made of rubber material and have an X-shaped cross-section. Its structure includes two symmetrical lips that provide a superior seal. The cross-sectional shape of an X-ring seal is similar to two O-rings stacked together to form a crossed X-shaped structure.

3. Material selection

The following factors need to be considered when selecting materials for X-ring rubber seals in pneumatic systems:

  • Gas medium: According to the gas medium used in the pneumatic system, select a rubber material with good chemical resistance. Commonly used materials include Nitrile Rubber, Fluorocarbon Rubber, etc.
  • Temperature range: According to the operating temperature of the pneumatic system, select a rubber material with appropriate temperature resistance. Common materials include Butyl Rubber, Silicone Rubber, etc.
  • Application requirements: According to the specific application requirements of seals in pneumatic systems, select suitable rubber materials, such as wear resistance, oil resistance, etc.

4. Application areas

Pneumatic system X-ring rubber seals are widely used in various pneumatic equipment and systems, including but not limited to the following application areas:

  • Pneumatic cylinder: X-ring rubber seals can be used for piston sealing of pneumatic cylinders to ensure the normal operation and sealing performance of the cylinder during work.
  • Valve: In pneumatic valves, X-ring rubber seals can be used to seal the valve stem to ensure the opening, closing and sealing performance of the valve.
  • Pressure sensor: X-ring rubber seals can be used to seal pressure sensors in pneumatic systems to prevent gas leakage and media penetration.
  • Pneumatic connectors: X-ring rubber seals can be used to seal connectors in pneumatic systems, such as joints, quick connectors, etc.

5. Advantages

X-ring rubber seals for pneumatic systems have the following advantages over other seals:

  • Good sealing performance: The X-ring seal adopts a double-lip structure, which provides better sealing effect and can effectively prevent gas leakage.
    Resistant to compression deformation: X-ring seals can maintain their original shape when compressed and still have good sealing performance after rebound.
  • Wear-resistant and durable: X-ring rubber seals are made of high-quality rubber materials, with excellent wear resistance and durability, and can withstand friction and wear in pneumatic systems.
  • Wide adaptability: X-ring rubber seals can select appropriate rubber materials according to different working environments and requirements, and have good temperature resistance and chemical corrosion resistance.

The X-ring rubber seal of the pneumatic system is a commonly used sealing element with the advantages of good sealing performance, wear resistance and durability, and wide adaptability. It has a wide range of applications in pneumatic systems, such as pneumatic cylinders, valves, pressure sensors, pneumatic connectors, etc. When selecting and using X-ring rubber seals, appropriate materials and structures should be selected based on specific application requirements and working environment to ensure sealing performance and normal operation of the system.
