We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "O-Rings",
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 Alliance consolidates sealing expertise from
Wyko, an Eriks Company, which we summarised at the time by saying "New division is the combination of Wyko's established seals business in the UK with the might of Eriks as a world leader in the seals market".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Pressure sensor monitors filter cleanliness from
American Sensor Technologies: "The Model 5000 wet/wet differential pressure sensor can detect the difference between the upstream pressure and the downstream pressure to notify the system when the filter is clogged".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Trelleborg Sealing Solutions - Orkut
concerning its Orkot TXMM and TLMM bearings
- take a look at Bearings supplied for navy ship
which says: "The bearings provided for the T45 Daring Class Destroyer are designed to operate at a low shaft velocity with low friction and wear".
Take a look also at the news release from Elesa (UK), Column level indicators offer easy checking,
as well as Sensors automate O-ring application from Freudenberg Simrit LP,
and Shuttle valve installs easily from Lee Products.
