They all have the humble O-Ring to thank for their successful operation. And they really are everywhere. “As the most common sealing element, we’ve put a lot of time and research into developing materials and manufacturing approaches to produce both specialized and generalpurpose products,” says Bernd Murthum, Product Manager O-Rings for Trelleborg Sealing Solutions.“With the range of options, including housing sizes and ISO specifications, it can take some time to ensure you’re using the correct seal.”

From this thinking, Trelleborg Sealing Solutions saw the opportunity to make the task easier for its customers and developed the O-Ring Calculator web-tool. Now, nearly 20 years on, the tool is on its fifth version. “Our O-Ring Calculator is one of our most popular engineering tools.

We’ve focused on enhancing the usability of the O-Ring Calculator to make it even easier for design engineers to calculate O-Ring dimensions and housing layout for their applications. This latest update will be much appreciated by the tens of thousands of users we have worldwide.” says Bernd.

    As a mechanical engineer, I find this app very useful. I use it at least once a week. The layout of the app is very easy to work with and intuitive. A must have app for all engineers and for anyone who works with O-Rings. Thanks Trelleborg for spending the time on this app.
