Backup Rings

19 1/2 X 20 Back-up SOLID PTFE

Split Nylon backup ring with a flat cross-section.

Nylon Material | 3 in Nominal Inner Diameter | 1/4 in Cross Section | Backup Ring

Features

• High strength and abrasion resistance
• Wide temperature range
• Chemical resistance
• Low friction
• Easy installation

Style 590 Back-up Rings feature exceptional strength and abrasion resistance along with a 53 Shore D hardness rating which makes them suitable for high pressure service where extrusion is a problem. Primarily used as a u-seal back-up, these rings can be used with o-rings. They also retrofit urethane and PTFE back-up rings, with greater performance characteristics. “S” suffix designates a split ring.

53 Shore D Durometer | Hytrel Material | 2 13/16 in Nominal Inner Diameter | 7/32 in Cross Section | Backup Ring

Features

• High strength and abrasion resistance
• Wide temperature range
• Chemical resistance
• Low friction
• Easy installation

Hytrel backup ring with a flat cross-section.

Molded of 55D Durometer Hytrel, these back-up rings provide excellent extrusion resistance and tolerance to fluids such as phosphate esters, hydraulic oil and water. Stretched for installation, they return quickly to their original size for easy installation.

55D Durometer | Hytrel Material | 3/4 in Nominal Inner Diameter | 1/16 in Cross Section | Backup Ring

Features

• Improved extrusion resistance compared to standard FKM or NBR backups
• Can be stretched over larger diameters and will return quickly to their original size
• High strength and abrasion resistance
• Wide temperature range
• Chemical resistance
• Low friction
• Easy installation
