Application
- An O-ring is an elastic part placed between two parts and then squeezed to fill up the gap between the two parts.
- When placed under pressure, the ring is forced to “flow” within the groove toward the clearance gap.
- As the ring flows against the gap, it produces zero clearance and prevents the sealed substance from escaping.
- The difference between a regular O-ring and a Hollow ring is the fact that the hollow core makes it much more easy to compress the ring.
