X Ring Seals are a type of sealing material that is widely used in industrial applications. With its unique structure and excellent performance, it has become the preferred sealing solution in many industries. This article will introduce the concept, structure, working principle and application of X-ring seals.
Overview
An X-ring seal, also known as a four-lip seal or cross seal, is an O-ring seal with an X-ring cross-section. It is made of high-quality elastomeric materials, such as rubber or polyurethane, which have good resistance to abrasion, chemical corrosion and high temperatures.
Structure and working principle
The X-ring seal has a simple structure consisting of two crossed lips that form four sealing points. Its cross-section is X-shaped, allowing the seal to provide a better seal during compression and expansion. When pressure is applied to the seal, the load is evenly distributed across the four lips, reducing the risk of wear and leakage.
