O-rings
The Techné O-ring is known for its efficiency, simplicity and various applications. The O-ring is an endless, circular sealing element with a circular cross-section. It is mainly used to seal gasses or liquids, especially in static applications.
Techné O-rings are primarily used in mechanical systems for static sealing in gas and liquid environments. They are also used for dynamic sealing, whether in translation or rotation.
The manufacturing processes for O-rings vary depending on customer requirements. Depending on the quantity required, diameter, and chosen production site, Techné manufactures O-rings in its factories through injection or compression moulding, machining, or vulcanisation.
