"O-ring"...

We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "O-ring", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Laboratory pump creates vacuums from Edwards, which we summarised at the time by saying "Edwards EXT406PX pump has been developed for use in combination with a backing pump of significantly smaller capacity, resulting in a vacuum system which consumes less power than comparable systems". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Viscometer monitors polycarbonate melts from Hydramotion: "Latest addition to range is designed for mounting in a nozzle at an elbow in the melt pipe with the sensing element pointing directly into the full flow of the material".
 
In November 2007, we covered the news from McLennan Servo Supplies concerning its 23HT18C - take a look at Steppers solve wiring conundrum which says: "NEMA 23 and 34 frame hybrid stepper motors come complete with a terminal block and a choice of cable gland or metal ring connectors".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Beko Technologies, Filter elements improve flow, as well as Stainless steel handle offers hygiene benefits from Elesa (UK), and Sensors automate O-ring application from Freudenberg Simrit LP.
