Custom vulcanized O-Rings are often the fastest and most cost effective solution for static sealing applications requiring a non-standard diameter O-Ring. Vulcanized rings are produced from extruded elastomeric cord, cut to length and hot spliced using heated dies and heat sensitive bonding agents. The heated die provides consistent heat to help form a clean and visually appealing finish to the joint. Cold splicing is typically used on foam elastomers where heat would damage the material.

The apparent complexity of traceability can be simplified by tying it to concrete requirements and technologies. This white paper presents a method known as “MVRC” (for “Mark, Verify, Read and Communicate”) that grounds traceability in specific, everyday tasks. The paper also discusses typical challenges and workable solutions.

When spec’ing a retaining ring for your design, it is important to know which type of ring to use. If your specifications don’t match one of Smalley’s 6,000 retaining rings in stock, our engineers are ready to collaborate with you to design a unique ring for your application. The four main dynamics to take into account when considering a ring for an application are: Material, Load Capacity, Rotational Capacity and Installation Stress.
