O-rings are circular sealing elements with circular cross-sections, and are mainly used in static applications. The sizes are specified by the inside diameter and the cross section diameter. Our O-rings are manufactured according to metric and imperial international standards such as AS 568B, DIN ISO 3601 and JIS. Custom sizes of almost any dimension are possible, such as miniature O-rings, special O-rings with large dimensions and continuously molded and spliced cord. We utilize O-Ring compounds formulated to meet the most stringent industry standards, including FDA, USP, KTW, DVGW, BAM, WRAS (WRC), NSF, Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Aerospace (AMS) and many customer-specific requirements.
Parker produces lathe-cut products for the filter market, in a wide range of diameters and widths. In addition to the typical square or rectangular lathe-cut cross-sections, a number of special cross-sectional configurations are available within the standard size range. Compression molding capabilities also enable Parker to offer convoluted profiles coupled with low cost solutions, particularly for smaller OD parts. The liquid injection molding operations offer rapid cycle times with reduced material requirements.
