Ordered as SH70246, this is an AS568-246 black Buna-N (Nitrile) 70 Shore A Square-Cut Ring measuring an inside diameter of 4.484 in (113.89 mm), a cross section of 0.139 in (3.53 mm), and an outside diameter of 4.762 in (120.95 mm). The square-cut ring offers greater contact area against the gland wall than an equivalent o-ring.
As a material, Buna-N (Nitrile) delivers reliable performance in both static and dynamic service, low compression set under sustained load. This material stands up to petroleum-based oils, hydraulic fluids, and propane and butane. Continuous operating temperature is published at -40°F (-40°C) to 250°F (121.1°C). Verify compatibility before use with ozone and direct sunlight or polar solvents. 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.
Maintenance and OEM teams specify it across automotive, general industrial maintenance, and construction equipment.
Stocked as SH70246 and sold individually. Unit weight is approximately 4.51 g and nominal inside diameter is listed as 4 1/2 inch. As always, verify media compatibility and operating conditions against the requirements of your specific application.
