Ordered as SH70389, this is an AS568-389 black Buna-N (Nitrile) 70 Shore A Square-Cut Ring measuring an inside diameter of 19.953 in (506.81 mm), a cross section of 0.21 in (5.33 mm), and an outside diameter of 20.373 in (517.47 mm). The square-cut ring presents a flat rectangular section that cannot roll or twist in its groove, making it a dependable static seal.
It resists water, petroleum-based oils, and propane and butane. Buna-N (Nitrile) offers strong abrasion and tear resistance, reliable performance in both static and dynamic service. Published continuous service range is -40°F (-40°C) to 250°F (121.1°C). It is not the right choice where ketones or automotive brake fluid are present. The profile itself contributes simple lathe-cut manufacture at low tooling cost and a rectangular section that will not roll in the groove. 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 fluid power, agricultural equipment, and construction equipment.
