APPLICATIONS

The MANOY® back-up ring is a solid or split ring which is rec­t­an­gu­lar or pro­fi­led in sec­tion. Various sec­tio­n­al pro­files and sizes are avail­ab­le in stan­dard or cus­to­mi­zed ver­si­ons. MANOY® back-up rings can also be used in dyna­mic app­li­ca­ti­ons – posi­tio­ned on both sides of the O‑ring for alter­na­ting pres­su­re.

SKA series
Exter­nal back-up ring, con­ca­ve

  • For sta­tic app­li­ca­ti­ons, inter­nal pres­su­re
  • Litt­le O‑ring defor­ma­ti­on due to the con­ca­ve form, the­re­fo­re exten­ded ser­vice life and hig­her stress pos­si­ble
  • Easy to install in non-split groo­ves

STA series
Exter­nal back-up ring

  • For sta­tic app­li­ca­ti­ons, inter­nal pres­su­re
  • Also sui­ta­ble for X‑rings
  • Easy to install in non-split groo­ves

CHARACTERISTICS

Sys­tem advan­ta­ges:

  • Pro­duc­tion costs can be redu­ced due to lar­ger clearan­ce gap 
  • Pre­vents metal con­tact 
  • Com­pen­sa­tes clearan­ce gap and cross-sec­tion varia­ti­ons cau­sed by pres­su­re expan­si­on, ther­mal expan­si­on, play and dis­pla­ce­ment
  • Allows the use of pre­cisi­on O‑rings of medi­um hard­ness 
  • Sui­ta­ble for almost all fluids 
  • Avail­ab­le for any cross-sec­tion dia­me­ter and for indi­vi­du­al groo­ve dimen­si­ons 
  • Easy to install
  • Inex­pen­si­ve com­po­nent with a mas­si­ve effect

TEMPERATURE RANGE

From ‑200 to +200 °C

but depen­dent on the back-up ring mate­ri­al in each case.
