description

back-up rings have no intended sealing function. instead, as their name indicates, they are protective and supporting elements made from extrusion-resistant materials which generally have a rectangular cross section. they are installed in a groove together with an elastomeric sealing element preferably with a corresponding o-ring in static appli- cations.

due to the tight fit of the back-up ring in the housing, they prevent extrusion of the pressurised elastomeric sealing element into the sealing gap common inactive back- up ring, mainly used with o-ring to avoid gap extrusion. split and non split design avail- able.

slit bearing component with rectangular cross-section for ISC o-ring sealing on the out- side & inside.
