X-rings - for universal use

X-rings are double-acting, circular sealing elements with an X-shaped square cross section. X-rings are relatively similar to O-rings in terms of handling and use, but they offer some advantages in dynamic applications.


Applications

Versatile as a dynamic seal at low and medium speeds and as a static seal

  • Dynamic seal for reciprocating movements on pistons, rods, etc.
  • Dynamic seal for pivoting, rotating or helically moving shafts, spindles, etc.
  • Static seal, radial or axial for flanges, covers, bushings, pipes, etc.

Special properties

  • They exhibit no tendency to twist during reciprocating movements and installation thanks to the special four-lip profile
  • Low friction
  • Recess between the sealing lips serves as a lubricant reservoir, lower breakaway forces and static friction
  • Unlike in O-rings, the flash is between the sealing lips and has no negative effect on the sealing behaviour
  • Optimised sealing behaviour in dynamic applications thanks to the special distribution of the contact pressure over the profile
