Advantages of X-Rings vs. O-Rings  

• Prevents contorting in the groove. The seal is not apt to roll in the groove with corresponding movement.

• Low friction. It requires less radial squeeze compared to a standard o-ring.

• Less wear due to low friction, thus providing a longer service life.

• Excellent sealing efficiency with its special profile.

• Improved startup with the lubricant reservoir formed between the sealing lips.
