When shopping for gaskets, you may stumble upon dovetail gaskets. They are used to seal two or more mating surfaces. Many machines rely on gaskets to prevent leaks from occurring. Dovetail gaskets are used to seal two or more mating … Read More

O-rings are one of the most common types of mechanical seals on the market. Like all mechanical seals, they are used to seal passages and protect against leaks. O-rings, however, are available in different materials, including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)  What Are … Read More

O-rings are one of the most common types of mechanical seals. Consisting of a ring-shaped piece of elastomeric material, they are placed around the mating surfaces of two parts. O-rings are designed to prevent leaks from around these mating surfaces. … Read More

O-rings are essential to protecting machinery parts from leaking. They consist of a donut-shaped seal that’s placed between the mating surface of two parts. With an O-ring, fluids and gases can travel between the two parts without leaking. Some O-rings, … Read More

Rubber is used to make a wide variety of products. You can find O-rings, gaskets, hoses, bushings, cord stock, bumpers, connectors and more made of this polymer-based material. While there are different ways to convert raw rubber into parts such … Read More

O-rings offer a simple and effective solution to protect against leaks. Also known as toric joints, they are commonly found in machines. O-rings consist of a donut-shaped piece of elastomer that seals the mating surface between two parts. If the … Read More

Seals are an essential component of many machines and mechanically driven devices. Consisting of O-rings, gaskets and other molded or extruded products, they live up to their namesake by “sealing” a mating surface. Most machines aren’t made of a single … Read More
