O-Ring Groove Design Guides
O-ring groove design guides offer default dimensional guidance on the most basic o-ring groove design applications. The best o-rings are useless without the right groove design which becomes increasingly important the more demanding the application environment. Review the general o-ring groove design considerations before moving onto the specific o-ring gland design type.
Engineering support services are available for a fee for expert help optimizing critical applications. Once your design is complete, easily order o-rings online from the world’s largest o-ring inventory network.
