O-ringCauses of elastic failure
In the process of working machinery operation, the O-ring seal is widely used in hydraulic system. It works under high pressure and high temperature. The main reason for the failure of O-ring is permanent deformation. Distortion of the sealing ring when it squeezes into the sealing gap and moves. The permanent deformation of the O-ring seal is due to the fact that the synthetic rubber material used in the O-ring seal is an elastic material. The compression amount and rebound blocking ability designed in the early stage of the operation of the seal ring will be pulled and squeezed for a long time, causing its elasticity to decrease, gradually forming permanent deformation, and then causing the sealing effect to decrease, and finally causing leakage.
Effect of Temperature on Permanent Deformation of Sealing Ring Temperature also causes permanent deformation of O-ring. As the temperature rises, the aging of rubber is accelerated. In mechanical operation, the higher the temperature, the greater the compression variable of O-ring. When the deformation of specification variable of O-ring is greater than 40%, O-ring loses its original sealing ability, thus causing leakage. At the same time, the operation process, the low temperature will also reduce the elasticity of the rubber material, or even completely disappear.

O-ring working at sub-zero temperature, such as -50 ℃ ~-60 ℃, the rubber material elastic speed decline, and eventually lose its elasticity. The effect of pressure on the permanent deformation of the sealing ring It is well known that the pressure of the hydraulic system is an important causal relationship that causes the permanent deformation of the O-ring. The working pressure of the hydraulic system of construction machinery is also gradually increasing, and the equipment operation cycle is long. Under the action of high pressure for a long time, the O-ring seal will be permanently deformed.
There are many reasons for the distortion of the O-ring, and the piston is the most important source. Because the gap between the piston rod and the cylinder is uneven, the eccentricity is too large. O-ring cross-sectional diameter is not uniform, and thus cause each force point is not uniform and the occurrence of distortion.
In addition, the O-ring working condition must pay attention to the working condition of the O-ring to prevent the distortion caused by the installation. Particles on the O-ring seal wear phenomenon During the movement of the piston and piston rod, the dust and impurities from the engineering environment will be attached to the surface of the piston rod, which will be brought to the hydraulic cylinder during operation, and accumulate on both sides of the O-ring to form particles., The sealing ring will cause wear when the work is accelerated, resulting in a decrease in the sealing effect of the seal.
