Rubber Compound Data sheets usually display a number of physical properties as recorded from standard test methods. Among the most common are three measured on the Tensometer – Tensile Strength (at break), Ultimate Elongation, and Modulus of Elasticity. The Test The Tensometer stretches a specimen, or dumbbell, cut from a sheet of rubber, until it [...]
As the name implies, these O-Rings are used to seal Straight Threaded Tube Fittings. As with other O-Rings in static application designs, they make a seal between two mating components. Unlike most O-Rings, they are not completely housed in a rectangular groove or gland. The threaded male tubing fitting does contain a radiused partial groove [...]
Fluid power seals used in pneumatic cylinder systems represent some of the most overlooked, yet vital components in its construction and operation. Without these rubber seals – or if using inferior seals – the friction and leakage created by the process of using a pneumatic cylinder application could cause the equipment to catastrophically fail, risking [...]
