Cat Pump 48362 Back Up Ring

Product Description :

• It is a mechanical seal component used in conjunction with O-rings or other types of seals to prevent extrusion or damage under high-pressure conditions.
• The primary function of a backup ring is to prevent the elastomeric seal (such as an O-ring) from being forced into the gap or clearance between mating surfaces when subjected to high pressures. This helps maintain the integrity of the seal and prevents leakage.
• By supporting the elastomeric seal, backup rings improve the resistance to pressure differentials and prevent damage that could occur due to abrasion or excessive deformation.
• They are typically made from materials that are rigid and resistant to deformation under pressure, such as polyamide (nylon), PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), or various engineered plastics.
