tiivisterengas
Tiivisterengas, often translated as sealing ring or O-ring in English, is a mechanical component in the form of a torus or ring. It is typically made of a elastomeric material, though other materials like PTFE or metal are also used for specific applications. The primary function of a tiivisterengas is to prevent leakage of fluids or gases in a mechanical system. This is achieved by its unique design, which allows it to deform under pressure and create a seal against mating surfaces.
Tiivisterenkaat are widely used in a vast array of industries and applications. They are essential in hydraulic
