RS PRO FKM O-Ring Cord, 4.5mm Diameter, 5m Length

RS PRO FKM O-Ring Cords

Introducing the range of RS PRO FKM O-Ring Cords, ideal for sealing applications that involve water and steam to prevent weathering. The fluorocarbon material offers excellent resistance to temperature extremes, thermal cycling and chemicals, making it ideal for use in aircraft, automotive and chemical industries. Thanks to the flexible FKM rubber, the cord is pliable enough to be easily bent into most shapes and to fit awkward spaces, making it suitable for use across a wide range of applications and environments.

Features and Benefits:

• The range of RS PRO O-ring cords are ideal for use across a wide range of applications, letting you quickly and reliably repair and install the most common machine seals like sealing washers or gaskets, in return reducing downtime by quickly fixing these components


• It is a circular gasket that is compressed and creates a vacuum seal between surfaces, which prevents air, fluid or lubricants from leaking out


• The FKM rubber material offers excellent chemical and ozone resistance and is ideal for applications where temperature extremes and thermal cycling is present


• In addition to this, the flexibility of the material means that the seal won’t deform when under pressure, and can retain its original shape after being compressed


• Easy to install and cut to size, the O-ring cord can be packed securely into gaps that are much smaller than its original form by being stretched during installation


• Operating temperature range: -15°C to 200°C


• Available in a range of lengths and diameters

Applications:

O-ring cords are compressible O-ring gaskets with flexible properties that allow them to be used in various applications and environments. They are easy to cut to size and can be stretched during installation to fit into areas that are much smaller than their original form, making them ideal for adding into tight gaps or awkward spaces that need a secure seal. Thanks to this incredible flexibility and versatility, an O-ring cord can be used as a sealant for virtually anything, from power transmission to a beer tap, and can be utilised in both fluid or gaseous applications like pneumatic sealing where compressed air and gas are used.
