What is the star seal ring?
O-type rubberSealing ringO-ring viton seal product is a seal with an O-shaped cross section, while the star seal ring is sealed with a four-lip (X-shaped cross section), a sealing element with a shape similar to X.
Overview of 1. star seals
X-shaped cross-sectional star seal ring is a kind of can be installed in a special groove with a small compression rate to reduce friction, but it can also be used in the same specification O-ring groove. X-ring has a lower friction, can better overcome torsion, can get better lubrication; at the same time, it can be used as a moving sealing element at a lower speed, and it is also suitable for static sealing.
2. star seal ring advantages
2.1 Compared with O-type rubber sealing ring, it has smaller friction resistance and starting resistance;
2.2 because of its flash position in the section of the recess, so the sealing effect is good;
2.3 non-circular cross-section to avoid rolling during reciprocating motion.
3. scope of application
The X-shaped cross-section star seal ring has a wide range of applications, and suitable materials can be selected according to temperature, pressure and medium. In order to adapt the X-ring as a sealing element to a given application, the mutual constraints between all operating parameters should be taken into account. The peak temperature, continuous operating temperature and operating period must be considered when determining the application specification. In the case of rotation, the temperature rise caused by friction heat must also be considered.

Support ring sealing material is the use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), but because of its softness is enough to the O-ring under pressure to improve the reaction capacity of the transmission force. Under the action of this (pressure), the support ring enters the extrusion gap, but due to the low recovery performance, the support ring will remain the same, providing protection for the o-ring seal.
The PTFE support ring increases the pressure-bearing capacity of the firm O-ring to at least 350 bar/5075psi. Select other alternative support ring materials, such as PEEK engineering sealing material, English name is polyetheretherketone (PEEK).
So, what kind of material is PEEK polyether ether ketone? It is a kind of high molecular polymer sealing material, with engineering plastics comprehensive performance (such as friction resistance characteristics and high temperature resistance characteristics, etc.). The sealing ring has high resistance to chemical erosion, wear and extrusion under high temperature working conditions.
O-ringAs a sealing ring in such as hydraulic cylinder and pneumatic slide valve to such components have a large number of applications. In hydraulic applications, the use of O-rings as the main seal is generally limited to a short stroke and a medium pressure of about 100bar(1500lb/in2). In fact, the O-ring seal ring is suitable for small diameter, short stroke to medium pressure applications, but this does not hinder its use of sealing system.
A smooth significance is that the O-ring is not suitable for use as a very low speed to the sealing ring, this is mainly because of the large friction under such conditions, which will lead to premature seal failure. in any reciprocating application. All should be used according to the rated data or capacity of the sealing ring, and should be properly assembled so as to achieve satisfactory performance.
