The X‑ring is a continuous, seamless vulcanized ring with a special profile which is derived from four O‑rings arranged in a square crosssection.The particular advantage of the X‑ring is that it cannot roll or twist. The squeeze required to maintain an effective seal is also relatively low.The X‑ring is used in mechanical and automotive engineering, preferably as a static radial or static axial seal. Other applications are for linear or rotary motion of plungers, pistons, tappets, dampers and valve, bearing and piston rods, etc.

Suitable aftertreatments can render precision O‑rings and X‑rings suitable for specific requirements. Typical requirements are low friction, easier installation (automatic or manual), lifelong lubrication, smooth running and non stick effect. Coating is a process frequently used for surface treatment. The IDG application consultants are available to discuss specific requirements with you.

Applications at high speed and low pressure. With O‑ring as secondary seal for sealing in the groove base. Hygienic design without undercuts. No sump formation in front of the seal. Reduced heat buildup due to special lip design. Pressureactivated seal energization. The integrated wedge prevents the sealing lip turning inside out. Very long seal life due to high abrasion resistance. Material only generates low frictional force. Sealing lip does not stick to the mating surface even after prolonged shutdown
