The back up ring, also called anti extrusion ring, is aptly named as they do just that: they back-up an O-ring. The purpose of using the backup ring is to prevent the O-ring from extruding into the sealing gap under the system pressure. The structure of the increased back up ring will bear much higher pressure than using the O-ring alone. The profile shape of the back up ring is usually rectangula...

JST produces different material spring energized lip seal. Jacket material such as PTFE, PEEK, TFM. Spring material include 316ss or Alloy spring. For different working conditions, we use different seal designs and materials. If seal works at pressure over 6000PSi, PEEK back up ring is needed. For -196°C, we would use material TFM+Alloy spring. JST has ability to produce different dimensions of sp...

In hydraulic and pneumatic seals, main seals such as O-rings receive much attention, but their performance relies on an often overlooked component: the back up ring.   What is a Back up Ring? A back up ring is a rigid ring installed next to the seal to prevent it from being squeezed into the metal gap under high pressure. Back up rings are essential when system pressu...
