Causes of O-ring damage

1. The friction between the seal and the metal surface causes the seal to wear
Contaminants in the oil (especially metal particles). Factors such as the roughness of the metal surface being too high and the packaging being too tight. Friction between the seal and the metal surface causes seal wear. Contaminants in the oil (especially metal particles). Factors such as excessive roughness of the metal surface and packaging that is too tight will accelerate this wear.

2. Extrusion deformation
The seal liquefies under high pressure and enters the gap between the sealing surfaces. Relative movement between the seal and the seal groove will facilitate this process. The extrusion of the gap can cause complete damage to the seal, surface tearing or cracking, and possible plastic deformation. Add a sealing ring to avoid pinching.
