How long does an O-ring last?
This is a question many people ask, and it has been said that they last for about five years. However, some technicians and operators have claimed to have changed several times the o-ring within this time interval.
The O-ring would last a lifetime when properly cared for or if the forklift is for personal use. However, when the Forklift is not adequately maintained or the O-ring has been used excessively, it is most likely to show signs of wear and tear. When this happens, it could become brittle or start to swell, which will make it unfit for use longer.
The shelf life of this rubber seal type is not an exact science. This is because its duration depends on how it is stored and treated. The conditions under which O-ring or elastomeric rings must be stored for proper durability are set by SAE International Standard ARP5316D. This includes keeping them away from humidity, oils (such as sweat), light exposure, including UV rays - all this while maintaining their original shape!
The shelf life of O-rings varies depending on the type of material. According to SAE-ARP5316D, polyurethane (millable) has a recommended maximum of 5 years, while nitrile or neoprene can last up to 15 years without significantly changing quality before becoming brittle with time. As for other materials such as silicone, which seems to have an unlimited lifespan when stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
Is there a test to certify the O-rings quality?
The main method to certify O-rings quality has been the qualification of materials and the certification of every step of the production process. But there are other ways to test an o-ring such as the Hardness and the Compression tests.
Hardness
An O-Ring's hardness value will determine if the material can withstand high pressures and how flexible it is. An o-ring must be flexible enough to fit into the space that was designed for it but also able to resist high pressure and heat. The durometer scale is used to measure the hardness of an O-Ring material. It works by loading up an instrument with spring-loaded rods that indent any object being tested and then provides readings from 0 - 100 for how hard each one feels in comparison. Higher numbers mean harder substances, while lower ones indicate softer.
Compression Set
The compression set of the O-ring is characterized by its ability to return to its original shape after being compressed or prolonged compressive stresses at determined temperature and deflection. If the O-ring has not been sufficiently compressed, it can have leaks.
How do you avoid an O-ring from leaking?
There are three common causes of O-ring leaks. The main one is incorrect dimensioning of the ring, which can be caused by having too large or small a groove for your specific application. Another cause comes from excessive stretching (or compression), among other things like temperature changes; this could make them snap during use, so be sure not to overstress these parts either way around. Third, and most importantly for your application, is the wrong material or compound. This can damage O-rings which will cause leaks in other parts of the system if not addressed quickly enough!
When picking the correct O-ring for your specific application, there are many factors to consider. They include but aren't limited to the operating conditions and chemical compatibility. Everything from the sealing pressure to the O-ring size can make a difference! You may also want to take abrasion wear properties into account as well if those will affect how long a forklift o-ring lasts before needing replacement or repairs on their parts due to themselves being used under extreme environmental or working circumstances where they're exposed beyond what would normally happen in everyday use situations.
