What Nitrile O-Rings Offer
Nitrile, or NBR, O-Rings, are widely recognized for their excellent sealing and mechanical properties at a cost-effective price. They’re highly resistant to common lubricants, including crude oil, gasoline, propane, and petroleum oils, making them ideal for a range of applications.
These O-Rings are often used as face-to-face and shaft seals, accommodating both rotary and linear movement. They’re perfect for use in engines, gearboxes, aircraft pumps, and water-related applications.
Features & Benefits
- Tear and Abrasion Resistance: Nitrile O-Rings offer excellent resistance to wear and tear, ensuring longevity in demanding environments.
- Operating Temperature Range from -30°F to 250°F (-57°C to 121°C): Suitable for a wide range of temperatures, with the ability to handle higher temperatures with special compounds.
- Customizable in Color, Durometers, and Compounds: Available in various colors and materials to suit both functional and aesthetic needs.
- Recommended for Petroleum-Based Oils and Fluids: Excellent for use with mineral oils, ethylene glycol-based fluids, silicone, diester-based lubricants, air, natural gas, and water (under 150°F or 66°C).
- Limitations: Not recommended for exposure to ozone, sunlight, weathering, strong acids, or use in automobile brake systems, ketones, or aircraft applications.
These O-Rings are an excellent choice for general-purpose sealing, particularly in applications involving petroleum-based fluids, water, and air, offering reliable performance across a variety of environments.
Potential Applications & Industries
Nitrile O-Rings are used in a variety of sealing applications, including engines, oil & gas systems, gearboxes, aircraft pumps, and water systems. They effectively maintain seals under pressure and motion, ensuring optimal performance in systems that require resistance to petroleum-based fluids, air, and water.
These O-Rings are essential in a wide range of industries, including transportation, oil and gas, aerospace, military, and manufacturing.
