Traditional elastic O-Rings have long been a source of frustration throughout steel mills, mining operations and other heavy industries. The rings twist, rubber band, roll and stretch. Installation turns into an exercise in manual dexterity, and yet they’re still never quite right. This results in early failure and equipment downtime.
System Seals set out to change that when it developed the 261 Mill-Duty Static Seal with a unique square geometry that stabilizes the seal in the groove. Stability is reinforced by the ring’s NBR or Polyurethane materials, which naturally resist abrasion and extrusion.
The ring is so robust and stable that it even eliminates the need for a backup ring. Customers who have upgraded to the 261 are astonished by the ease of installation and maintenance-free performance.
Eliminate rubber-banding, rolling and extrusion with a Mill-Duty 261 Static Seal in sizes up to 2100mm. Contact System Seals to learn how this high-performance product can work in conjunction with your seal systems.
