O-rings are one of the most widely used sealing components in industrial and manufacturing equipment. They are available in a wide range of sizes, materials, and hardnesses to suit different temperatures, pressures and operating conditions.
They can be found in hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, pumps, valves, machinery, manufacturing systems, automotive equipment, chemical processing equipment, and many other industrial applications.
Global Rubber supplies imperial and metric O-rings, as well as extruded O-ring cord, and can fabricate custom spliced and vulcanized rings from all manners of cord ring materials. Our team can help determine the correct size, material, and hardness for your application.

O-rings are used wherever a reliable seal is required between two components, and can be used in both a static or dynamic applications. Common industrial applications include:
• Hydraulic systems
• Pneumatic systems
• Pumps
• Valves
• Cylinders
• Compressors
• Industrial machinery
• Manufacturing equipment
• Automotive equipment
• Agricultural machinery
• Chemical processing equipment
• Fluid-handling systems
• Water and wastewater equipment
• Food-processing equipment
• Air compressors
• Pressure vessels
• Industrial piping systems
• Mechanical equipment
Because different applications expose O-rings to different temperatures, pressures, chemicals, oils, fuels, and mechanical conditions, selecting the appropriate rubber compound is extremely important.
Extruded O-ring cord is a continuous length of elastomeric material with a round cross-section. Instead of being molded into a finished circular O-ring, the cord is supplied in lengths, coils, or rolls. This cord can be cut to required lengths and join to create custom sized O-rings.
This is extremely useful for large diameter or non-standard sizes or when a molded O-ring is not readily available and can eliminate the need for costly dies or tooling. Spliced O-rings are generally intended for static applications and may not be appropriate for every use.
Hydraulic systems depend on seals to contain pressurized hydraulic fluid. O-rings can be used in: Hydraulic cylinders, Pumps, Valves, Fittings & more.
Pneumatic systems use compressed air, making reliable sealing important for maintaining pressure and preventing air leakage.
Industrial pumps and valves frequently use O-rings to seal joints and prevent leakage between components.
Manufacturing equipment can contain numerous fluid, air, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems where O-rings provide sealing between components.
O-rings are used throughout automotive systems, including fluid connections, air-conditioning systems, fuel systems, hydraulic systems, and other mechanical components.
Processing equipment can require O-rings capable of resisting specific chemicals, temperatures, pressures, and process fluids.
