Static Seals

Rubber, PTFE, Metal, Bonded and Inflatable
In a static sealing applications there is no movement between sealing surfaces or between the seal surface and its mating surface.
The most common seal used in static sealing situations is the O-Ring, but in addition to these, Yimai Sealing Solutions offers a range of specialized static seals.

The range includes our proprietary metal O-Rings, , which are ideal for use in extreme temperatures and pressures. Other static seals we offer include inflatable seals, various rubber seals, valve seals, x-rings, square rings, rubber – metal bonded seals, polyurethane seals and spring energized Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) seals.
Resistant to virtually all media, static seals in our PTFE based material are offered for contact with aggressive chemicals. In addition, there is the inflatable suitable for sealing doors and openings especially in chemical or semiconductor applications.

Static seals are used in hydraulic applications where two mating surfaces or edges require positive sealing. A static seal, by definition, is one that remains stationary and subjected to no movement and its related friction. A static seal may be exposed to hydraulic pressure on both sides or be exposed to hydraulic pressure on one end and air on the other.

Most often in hydraulics, static seals are used to seal a body, flange or head to another stationary tube, cap or other components. One example is the rear cover of a piston pump that must seal against the pump housing and does so with a gasket or O-Ring. The seal must only contain low-pressure case oil and prevent it from leaking unintentionally from the pump.

  • The four-lobed design offers double the sealing surface of a standard O-ring. Thanks to the dual-sealing action, less compression is needed to ensure a strong seal. Reduced compression leads to lower friction and wear, resulting in extended service life and lower maintenance costs. The design provides excellent sealing performance, with an enhanced pressure profile over the X-ring cross-section, ensuring superior sealing efficiency.  
  • Easy Installation: Manufactured to precise specifications and strict tolerances, ensuring that the rings stay securely in place after installation. Cost Efficiency: The O-ring provides an effective seal within a defined clearance range. Using retaining rings allows for a wider clearance limit, enabling loose assembly of moving parts. Optimized Performance: The carefully designed profile enhances performance, regardless of the installation form. Affordable: Our retaining rings offer a more cost-effective solution compared to other types. Increased O-Ring Lifespan: The use of retaining rings helps extend the service life of O-rings. Enhanced Lubrication: Improves lubrication efficiency, ensuring smoother operation. High Pressure Resistance: Withstands high pressure, maintaining reliable performance.
