Backup Rings

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 | 3 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

Used primarily as an anti-extrusion device for u-seals, these back-up rings combine high performance with very low friction. “ST” suffix designates a split ring.

• Wide temperature range
• Chemical resistance
• Low friction
• Easy installation

PTFE Material | 4 in Nominal Inner Diameter | Backup Ring

Features

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

Commonly used with metric o-rings, these back-up rings are made of virgin PTFE unless suffix specifies otherwise.

PTFE Material | 150 MM Nominal Inner Diameter | 5 MM Cross Section | Backup Ring

Features

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

Commonly used with metric o-rings, these back-up rings are made of virgin PTFE unless suffix specifies otherwise.

PTFE Material | 57 MM Nominal Inner Diameter | 2.5 MM Cross Section | Backup Ring

Features

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

Parback® backup ring with a curved cross-section.

Parbaks are contoured on one face to minimize distortion of the o-ring when under pressure. Parbaks should be installed with the contoured face against the o-ring, but reversal does no harm.

90A Durometer | Buna-N Rubber Material | 5 3/8 in Nominal Inner Diameter | 1/8 in Cross Section | Backup Ring

Features

• Excellent extrusion resistance
• Easily stretched for installation
• Lubrication is enhanced by rubber which absorbs system fluid and does not plate out on rubbing surfaces
