What is a sealing ring? Maybe when you first come into contact with this word, you will have many questions, or even don't understand it, or even if you know that your friends have seen it, they don't know it very well. Why do you have to use a sealing ring? So today I will introduce you to its relevant knowledge here.


As the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains. Friends who have just come into contact with the machinery industry may still have questions about why they must use seals and what their functions are.


In fact, in many machines, it needs to be sealed to work normally. If the machine is not sealed, it is very likely to cause external and internal leakage, and even tiny dust particles will invade the system, causing or aggravating the wear of the friction pair of the hydraulic component, further leading to leakage. In severe cases, it will cause mechanical failure and cause serious losses. We often see news about leakage in the news. In fact, these are all because the sealing work is not done well, resulting in serious consequences.


In order to better prevent this from happening again, sealing devices are set on the machine to prevent the leakage of the working medium and the invasion of external dust and foreign matter. Among them, the components that play a sealing role are called seals.


Therefore, sealing rings and sealing devices are an important part of mechanical equipment. Its working reliability and service life are important indicators to measure the quality of machinery.
