A Backup Ring is an essential component used in sealing systems, particularly in high-pressure applications such as waterjet cutting, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems. Designed to complement O-rings, Backup Rings are typically made from durable materials like PTFE, polyurethane, or nitrile rubber, offering high resistance to wear, pressure, and temperature variations. These rings play a critical role in preventing the extrusion of O-rings, ensuring that they remain intact and functional under extreme conditions.
When used in conjunction with O-rings, a Backup Ring reinforces the seal by providing support on the opposite side of the O-ring, preventing it from being pushed out of its groove when exposed to high-pressure environments. This helps maintain a consistent seal, which is crucial for preventing leaks, maintaining system integrity, and reducing downtime caused by seal failure.
Our Backup Rings are engineered for reliability and long-lasting performance, providing a superior solution for industries that require high sealing performance under pressure, including waterjet cutting, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and oil & gas. With a wide range of sizes and configurations, we can supply Backup Rings tailored to fit specific sealing applications, ensuring optimal performance in both static and dynamic conditions.
Whether you are dealing with fluid systems, high-temperature environments, or challenging mechanical conditions, our Backup Rings are built to withstand the rigors of demanding applications. Their use helps extend the lifespan of seals and improves the overall efficiency of machinery and systems.
Choose our high-quality Backup Rings for superior performance, durability, and reliability, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your equipment.
