o-rings & seals available in various sizes, colours and polymers to meet your requirements, Wye Valley offers standard and bespoke o-rings

O-rings and seals are crucial components used to prevent the leakage of fluids or gases in mechanical systems.

O-rings are circular rubber or elastomer rings that fit into grooves and are compressed between two surfaces to create a tight seal. They are commonly used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and automotive applications due to their simplicity and cost-effectiveness.

Seals are broader in design and can come in various shapes, such as lip seals or shaft seals. They are used to prevent the passage of fluids between parts in motion or at rest. Seals are often found in industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing to ensure efficient operation and prevent contamination or leakage.
