Square shaped, square profiled o-rings

12/12/2008 7:27 PM

Does anyone know of a manufacturer who offers o-rings in square ring shapes, made of a square profile? looking for buna-N or comparable.

You may need to get them custom fabricated.

I've had ACE Seal in San Jose make me a few different custom seals that I couldn't find or it wasn't reasonable to make myself.

You can readily buy square seal material. If you're just fixing something maybe buy a roll of what you need and use an inexpensive o-ring fabricator. I think I got the Eagle belting kit we have for about 20 -30 bucks from McMaster-Carr.

Anyway... ACE will have what you need ...a roll or they'll fab out 10,000 of them for you.

Good Luck

Versatile high precision O ring can made in situ to any geometry using instant gasket materials. Google "Loctite instant gaskets" for wealth of information.

I have used the loctite brand splice kit for o rings in the past it usually works quite well. It must however be an o-ring that sits in a groove in a fixed position. If used in any type of sliding applocation it is totally useless. I have found it is better to keep an o-ring kit on hand with all the common dash numbers. Ed
