What Are O-Rings? Functions, Materials, and How to Choose the Right One

What Are O-Rings? Functions, Materials, and How to Choose the Right One

Ever wondered how a small rubber ring can prevent a high-pressure hydraulic system from leaking? That’s the power of an 오링 — compact yet crucial, simple yet essential.

~에 헨고실, we’ve been manufacturing and exporting industrial-grade O-rings to over 20 countries. Whether your application involves hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic equipment, or automotive engines, choosing the right O-ring can make or break performance.

What Is an O-Ring and How Does It Work?

오링 is a circular elastomer seal that blocks the passage of fluids or gases between mechanical parts. When compressed in a groove between two surfaces, it deforms to create a tight seal that resists pressure, temperature changes, and vibration.

In hydraulic systems, this deformation is the key to leak-free operation. You can learn more about their role in fluid power systems in our 유압 씰 가이드.

How to Select the Right O-Ring Material for Your Application?

Material selection impacts temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, and lifespan. Here’s a quick reference:

재료 온도 범위 (°C) 주요 강점 일반적인 응용 프로그램
NBR(니트릴) -40 ~ 120 우수한 내유성, 비용 효율성 연료 시스템, 유압 장치
FKM(비톤®) -20 ~ 230 High temperature and chemical resistance Aerospace, engines
EPDM -50 ~ 150 Weather, ozone, and steam resistance 야외, HVAC
PTFE -200 ~ 260 Chemically inert, food-grade Medical, food, laboratory

If you’re unsure which to choose, see our detailed Silicone vs FKM O-Rings Comparison for complex environments.


How Do You Measure O-Ring Sizes Correctly?

For the perfect fit, always measure:

  • ID(내경)
  • OD(외경)
  • CS(단면 두께)

Incorrect sizing leads to premature wear and leaks. Use our O-Ring Sizing Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Why Do O-Rings Fail and How Can You Prevent It?

Common causes of O-ring failure include:

  • Wrong material choice for temperature or chemicals
  • Over-compression or twisting during installation
  • Exposure to incompatible fluids
  • Reusing aged O-rings that lost elasticity

You can reduce downtime and replacement costs by following the preventive steps in our Seal Failure Prevention Guide.


Can O-Rings Handle Extreme Pressure and Temperature?

Yes, with the right compound.
For example, one manufacturer facing failures at 2500 PSI and 180°C switched to FKM O-링:

  • Reduced leakage by 75%
  • Extended service life by 5×
  • Lowered maintenance costs by 40%

How Much Do O-Rings Cost and What Affects Pricing?

Pricing depends on:

  • Material type (NBR is economical, FKM/PTFE are premium)
  • 크기 및 허용 오차
  • Order quantity (bulk orders reduce cost per unit)

We explain pricing strategies in our O-링 비용 및 선택 가이드.
