Back-up rings are the most commonly used anti-extrusion mechanism utilized in dynamic & static sealing. They are designed to prevent the migration of sealing material into the extrusion gap under the system pressure. ETS offers a large selection of back-up ring sizes and materials for virtually any seal and application. Choose from open or closed shapes for snap assembly in a broad range of compounds that are very resistant to thermal or mechanical stresses. ETS back-up rings help reduce costly downtime and ensure long-term functional reliability.
