X-Rings
For high levels of stability in dynamic applications

X-Rings are double sealing four-lobe seals that are characterised by their square profile. The X-Ring is defined by its inner diameter d and its cord thickness d2.

 


Overview

Profile Design Material Hardness (Shore A) Color Temperature (°C)/ Temporarily
X-Ring NBR 70 black -30 to +120
X-Ring HNBR 70 black -30 to +130/+150
X-Ring FKM 70 brown -20 to +200
X-Ring EPDM 70 black -40 to +110/+130
X-Ring VMQ 70 red -50 to +200

The X-Ring is symmetrically shaped. It can adapt to every situation and withstand stress in any direction (radial, axial). The grouting increases dependent on the pressure. At high pressure should use Backup-Rings.

 

The advantage of X-rings is no risk of torsion and a low coefficient of friction, which is achieved by:
  • slippery materials
  • low preload
  • grease reserve between the lips

A better sealing of the X-rings against each other is mainly achieved by a double contact. Due to its geometry, the X-ring can be used in dynamic applications with rotating movements (1m / s).

The main advantage of the X-Ring is its high stability in dynamic applications where O-Rings provide a low performance.

X-Rings have four lips, which result in greater sealing surface. The four-lip seal was developed to achieve an improved lubrication of the seal and to avoid a rolling of the seal or spiral errors.

In contrast to O-Rings, which can roll in the groove and can cause a rotation, X-Rings will slide easily on. Also in regards to spiral errors X-Rings are much more resistant.

 

As it is the case with O-Rings, most X-Rings are produced in accordance for American Produced standards with inch sizes and AS numbers.

The dimensions of the X-Ring in accordance with the American standard AS568 and the associated O-Ring numbers. Compared to the grooves for O-Rings the standard grooves for X-Rings are deeper. For groove dimensions for X-Rings, there is a greater scope available, since X-Rings needs less pressure and can compensate for this. That means less friction and therefore less wear of the seal.
