Metal and Spring-Energized Seals | Replacing O-Rings for Extreme Use

Backup rings prevent extrusion and extend the service life of O-rings in high-pressure or wide-clearance sealing applications. Available in PTFE, nylon, and other durable materials, they ensure reliable performance in static and dynamic hydraulic or pneumatic systems.

POM (acetal, polyoxymethylene) is a strong, low-friction engineering plastic known for its excellent dimensional stability and wear resistance. Commonly used in housings, valves, and fittings that support O-rings and gaskets, it provides precision, rigidity, and chemical resistance for industrial and automotive applications.

PTFE Coated O-Rings: Benefits, Applications, and Maintenance

Spring energized seals (SES) combine a polymer sealing jacket, often PTFE or PEEK, with a metallic spring to maintain constant sealing force under varying pressures and temperatures. Used in place of O-rings and gaskets  in aerospace, cryogenic, and chemical processing applications, they provide exceptional wear, chemical, and extrusion resistance.

Spring Energized Seals | Reliable Performance in Extreme Environments

PEEK (polyether ether ketone) is a high-performance thermoplastic known for its exceptional strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability. Commonly used in precision O-rings, gaskets, and structural components, it withstands harsh chemicals and continuous use at temperatures up to 480°F, making it ideal for aerospace, semiconductor, and oil and gas applications.
