APG stocks the SH70103, an AS568-103 black Buna-N (Nitrile) 70 Shore A Square-Cut Ring built to an inside diameter of 0.081 in (2.06 mm), a cross section of 0.103 in (2.62 mm), and an outside diameter of 0.287 in (7.29 mm). A square-cut ring resists the spiral failure that affects round rings on long reciprocating strokes.
Buna-N (Nitrile) delivers strong abrasion and tear resistance, the most widely specified general-purpose sealing elastomer. The compound resists water, hydraulic fluids, and greases and lubricants. Continuous operating temperature is published at -40°F (-40°C) to 250°F (121.1°C). Exposure to automotive brake fluid or polar solvents will shorten service life. The profile itself contributes greater resistance to extrusion than a round section of the same size and a flat contact band that spreads sealing load across a wider area. Note that a square section is less suited to high-speed rotary service, where the larger contact area raises friction and heat.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across automotive, general industrial maintenance, and agricultural equipment.
Stocked as SH70103 and sold individually. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
