What is the difference between O-rings and gaskets/packings?
We will also explain the details of each, such as how they are used and their shapes!
O-rings, gaskets, and packing are all types of seals that prevent the leakage of liquids and gases, but they differ in their usage and shape. An O-ring is a ring-shaped seal with a cross-section that is O-shaped, as its name suggests. It utilizes the elasticity of the material to be compressed when fitted into a groove, thereby achieving a sealing effect. When used for motion, it is a type of packing, and when used for fixing, it is a type of gasket. Due to its simple structure, low cost, and high sealing performance in a compact space, it is used in a wide range of fields, including automobiles, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, and home appliances. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
