What are the materials of the O-ring spring?

The Helical spring is usually composed of the O-ring spring, and sealing groove, which work together to achieve the sealing function of the O-ring seal. The plug fills the sealing groove through its elastic deformation, while the spring provides restoring and compressive force, ensuring a tight fit between the plug and the joint surface, thereby achieving a reliable sealing effect. This structure is widely used in various industrial and mechanical applications to ensure sealing performance and prevent leakage.

O-ring seal springs are usually made of multiple materials, and the specific selection depends on the application requirements and environmental conditions.

The followings are some common spring materials for O-ring spring:

Rubber: Common rubber materials include Nitrile rubber, Fluoroelastomer, Silicone Rubber, etc. Rubber has good sealing performance and elasticity, suitable for various industrial and mechanical applications.

Polyurethane: Polyurethane materials have excellent elasticity and wear resistance, suitable for sealing applications in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): PTFE is a material with good chemical resistance and low friction coefficient, commonly used in corrosion resistance and high-temperature sealing applications.

④Metal springs: Metal springs in plug sealed springs are usually made of stainless steel (such as 304 or 316 stainless steel), which has good elasticity and corrosion resistance.
