Rimseal

Zurcon® Rimseal is an elastomer energized seal element. The changes in seal position in the groove, necessary for optimum sealing function, are guaranteed by the combination of the two parts: the O-Ring and seal ring. In order to achieve a contact force increasing sealing effect with increasing pressure, the seal has a chamfer on the low pressure side which causes the seal to tilt slightly so that the seal ring is forced against the side of the groove. This creates an area of maximum pressure at the edge of the seal.
