O-rings in more than 100 general and high-performance elastomers are now precision-moulded by James Walker at its rapidly expanding Cockermouth plant in Cumbria, UK.

Material grades range from medium nitrile, ethylene-propylene and silicones to explosive-decompression (ED) resistant fluorocarbons and hydrogenated nitriles.

"With over seven million O-rings in stock at our automated warehouse, ready for same-day despatch, we can meet the vast majority of industry's immediate needs", reported Commercial Director Geoff Teasdale.

"If any particular rings are not stocked, we can now supply them within days from our vastly extended moulding shop", he said.

"Manufacturing lead times are very flexible on these items, which enables us to schedule production to meet the most urgent requests".

The company has a vast library of over 8000 moulding tools that covers O-rings to national and international standards including BS1806 and SAE AS568A, BS4518, ISO3601 and DIN3771-1, JIS B2410, as well as the JW17000 range that it originally developed for the Royal Navy.

It will also precision-mould custom designs.
