Metal ring seals are essential components in various industrial applications, offering durability, reliability, and superior sealing capabilities under extreme conditions. Understanding the main types of metal ring seals and their specific applications is crucial for selecting the right sealing solution. Sonkit Industry stands at the forefront of manufacturing and supplying a comprehensive range of metal ring seals, catering to diverse industry needs.

Types of Metal Ring Seals


O-Ring Seals

O-Ring Seals are the most commonly used type of metal ring seals, known for their simplicity and effectiveness. They are typically used in static and dynamic applications ranging from hydraulic fittings to aerospace engines. Their versatility and cost-effectiveness make them a popular choice across industries.

C-Ring Seals

C-Ring Seals are designed for applications requiring high sealing force and minimal leakage. They are ideal for environments with extreme temperature and pressure variations, such as in the oil and gas industry, and in cryogenic and high-vacuum applications.

E-Ring Seals

E-Ring Seals are engineered for dynamic sealing applications where axial movement is present. They provide excellent resilience and are commonly used in rotary and reciprocating shafts, making them suitable for aerospace and automotive applications.

Spring-Energized Seals

Spring-Energized Seals offer superior sealing performance in applications where elastomeric seals fail to perform. These seals are used in a wide range of applications, including valves, pumps, and connectors in the chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage industries.
