This guide helps you select the best metric Buna O ring based on your system specs—covering sizes, materials, pressure, and oil compatibility.

What are metric Buna O rings used for?

Metric Buna O Rings are essential for sealing in metric-based systems.
They're used in hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic valves, fuel systems, and industrial machinery.

Metric Buna O Rings are made from NBR (nitrile rubber), offering excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and abrasion. Commonly found in European and Asian equipment, they are ideal where inch-sized O rings don’t fit. They're widely used in:

  • Hydraulic cylinders to prevent leakage
  • Pneumatic systems to maintain pressure
  • Automotive fuel systems for reliable sealing

How do I measure a metric O ring?

Correct measurements ensure leak-proof performance.
You’ll need to measure the ID, CS, and calculate the OD.

To measure a metric Buna O Ring:

  1. Innendurchmesser (ID) – Measure across the inside.
  2. Querschnitt (CS) – Measure the ring’s thickness.
  3. Außendurchmesser (OD) – Use the formula: OD = ID + 2 × CS.
  4. Vergleichen Sie mit Größentabellen – Use an AS568 or ISO chart to match.

Common sizes include:

Innendurchmesser (mm) CS (mm) Anwendung
10.0 2.0 Pumpen, Ventile
18.8 1.9 Pneumatische Zylinder
22.4 3.1 Automobilkomponenten

Are metric Buna O rings compatible with hydraulic fluid?

Yes—Buna O Rings are ideal for hydraulic oil sealing.
They resist mineral-based oils and seal reliably under pressure.

Metric Buna O Rings offer excellent performance in hydraulic fluid systems:

  • Hydraulic actuators – Leckagen verhindern
  • High-pressure valves – Maintain system stability
  • Pump seals – Withstand fluid exposure and wear

For more demanding environments (e.g., with high temp or strong chemicals), consider FKM O Rings for heat sealing oder EPDM O Rings for steam & water resistance.

How do I select the right metric Buna O ring?

Selection depends on pressure, fluid, and environmental exposure.
You’ll need to evaluate material, durometer, and system specs.

Here’s a breakdown to guide your choice:

Faktor Bewährte Vorgehensweise
Material Ensure NBR fits your chemical exposure
Size Accuracy Use precise calipers for fit
Temperaturbereich Buna handles -40°C to 120°C comfortably
Druckbewertung Use 90 Shore hardness for high-pressure applications
Alternative Options Verwenden FKM or EPDM for heat or steam resistance
