Ordered as SH70218, this is an AS568-218 black Buna-N (Nitrile) 70 Shore A Square-Cut Ring measuring an inside diameter of 1.234 in (31.34 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 1.512 in (38.4 mm). The square-cut ring presents a flat rectangular section that cannot roll or twist in its groove, making it a dependable static seal.
As a material, Buna-N (Nitrile) offers the most widely specified general-purpose sealing elastomer and low compression set under sustained load. Expect good resistance to many alcohols, hydraulic fluids, and propane and butane. Service temperature is rated from -40°F (-40°C) through 250°F (121.1°C). The profile itself contributes a flat contact band that spreads sealing load across a wider area 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.
It sees regular use in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, fluid power, and general industrial maintenance.
