The SH70233 is an AS568-233 black Buna-N (Nitrile) 70 Shore A Square-Cut Ring measuring an inside diameter of 2.859 in (72.62 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 3.137 in (79.68 mm). This square-cut ring seals with a broad flat contact band instead of the line contact of a round-section ring.
It resists propane and butane, many alcohols, and petroleum-based oils. Buna-N (Nitrile) is known for 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). The profile itself contributes a flat contact band that spreads sealing load across a wider area and simple lathe-cut manufacture at low tooling cost. Note that a square section is less suited to high-speed rotary service, where the larger contact area raises friction and heat.
Typical settings include automotive, fluid power, and hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
Order part number SH70233, sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 3.443 g and nominal inside diameter is listed as 2 7/8 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
