Back-up Rings
Back-up rings are used for static and dynamic applications in connection with O-rings, to prevent extrusion of the O-ring into the diametrical clearance.
The single cut and spiral design rings are easily installed into closed grooves while the single solid designs, recommended for highest pressures, are for installation in open grooves.
Advantages Back-up Ring
- Pressures above 50 bar with O-rings possible
- Larger diametrical clearance possible
- Improved stability at high temperatures and strong pressure change
Recommended when
We recommend to specify back-up rings when at least one of the following working conditions is present in cases where the intention is to seal with O-rings only:
> Pressure above 50 bar.
> Diametrical clearance exceeding 0,25 mm at p > 10 bar.
> High stroke frequency.
> High temperatures.
> Contaminated medium.
> Strong pressure pulsing or pressure changes.

Back-up ring profiles
PROFILE T1
For reciprocating movements
Consists as standard two spiral windings which are cut at the ends at an angle.
Compensation of large temperature changes and tolerances.
PROFILE T2
Preferred for internal sealing applications
Preferred for internal sealing applications when installed in closed grooves where uncut back-up rings are not suitable.
Reciprocating and rotating movements possible. Economic price level.
PROFILE T3
Reciprocating and rotating movements possible
A divisible groove is recommended for external sealing. Economic price level.
PROFILE T4
Preferred for internal sealing applications
Concave cross-section.
Reciprocating and rotating movements possible.
The large contact surface protects the O-ring against deformation in case of high pulsating pressure. Dimensional stability of the O-ring improves the sealing force and increases the service life.
PROFILE T5
Recommended for external sealing
Concave cross-section. Reciprocating and rotating movements possible.
The large contact surface protects the O-ring against deformation in case of high pulsating pressure.
Dimensional stability of the O-ring improves the sealing force and increases the service life.
