O Ring Mold

O ring molds designed and manufactured in an in-house mold workshop that builds a variety of molds and tools. The tooling is cut so that every o ring produced meets its specified dimensions and each ring in the run comes out uniform in size and quality, which is the difference between a seal that fits and one that has to be sorted on the assembly bench. The molds are built from durable materials so they resist wear through rigorous production cycles, they withstand high molding temperatures without deforming, and they are designed for easy cleaning and minimal upkeep. They are also compatible with various rubber and elastomer materials, so one tool can serve more than one compound.

Specifications are configured per project. Send your drawing, capacity or duty requirement and the build will be confirmed in writing with the quotation.
Why It Works

Key Benefits

Uniform ring size across the run removes the sorting step before assembly

Tooling that resists high molding temperature holds cavity dimensions instead of drifting during long runs

Compatibility with several rubber and elastomer materials lets one tool cover multiple compounds

Easy cleaning shortens the changeover between compounds on the press

In-house mold workshop means a cavity correction does not have to be negotiated with an outside toolmaker

Problems

Problems It Solves

Rings that vary in size within a batch have to be sorted before they can be fitted

Tooling that deforms at molding temperature produces out of tolerance rings midway through a run

Molds that are difficult to clean make compound changeovers slow and costly

Tooling tied to one compound blocks a material change without new tooling

Outsourced tooling means every cavity correction goes through a third party

How It Compares

General rubber mold

An o ring mold is cut specifically for ring cross sections and the uniformity a sealing part requires

Outsourced tooling

An in-house workshop handles cavity correction directly instead of through a third party

Single compound tooling

Compatibility with various rubber and elastomer materials lets one tool run more than one compound

FAQ

O Ring Mold FAQ

Do you make the o ring molds yourselves

Yes. There is an in-house mold workshop that designs and manufactures a variety of molds and tools, including o ring molds.

Will every ring from the mold be the same size

The tooling is designed so that every o ring produced is uniform in size and quality and meets the specified dimensions.

Can the mold handle high molding temperatures

Yes. The molds withstand high molding temperatures without deformation, which is what keeps the cavity in specification through long runs.

Can one mold run different rubber compounds

The molds are compatible with various rubber and elastomer materials. Tell us which compounds you plan to run so shrinkage is allowed for at design stage.

How much maintenance does the mold need

It is designed for easy cleaning and minimal upkeep, which keeps compound changeovers on the press short.

What do you need to quote an o ring mold

The ring dimension and tolerance, the compounds to be run, the volume and your press details. Price and lead time are confirmed in writing with the quotation.
