X-Ring is a loop of elastomer with x-shaped cross-section. X-ring is designed to outperform a standard o-ring in rotary seal applications. The four-lobed configuration creates a more stable seal avoiding spiral twisting. This allows the use of a more narrow groove width than a standard o-ring groove, but can also be used in a standard o-ring groove. X-ring seals are completely interchangeable with o-rings and are available in all standard o-ring sizes.
Features:
Two sealing surfaces give a positive seal with less friction.
The recessed mold parting line ensures no leakage.
Its cross-section resists spiral twisting and extrusion.
To seal surface twice means less squeeze, which results in less friction and longer seal life.
