RK Chains - Technical O-Ring Information

Standard
O-ring :
View diagram at right in closer detail to compare the lubrication
provided by a standard O-ring and the superior lubrication
provided by RK's RX- and XW-rings. You can see the difference!

"RX"-ring
Design & Features:
RK's "RX-ring" chains feature an X-ring shaped seal. Viewed
in cross-section, the "X-ring" has two lubrication pools and
seal points versus the single seal point/pool design of a
regular o-ring chain. "RX-ring" technology offers less torsional
friction, increased high-stress performance, and a 30% longer
wear life compared to standard o-ring chains. RK's new "RX-ring"
chains offer tremendous value, plus true quality and performance
for all but the most demanding high performance applications.

"XW"-ring
Design & Features:
The "XW-ring" is made of an advanced Nitrile Butadiene composite
and features three contact lips and two convex outer stabilizers.
This means three lubrication pools to protect against high
speed abrasion, extreme heat build up, torsional flex and
loss of lubricant. Nitrile Butadiene composite is oil and
contaminant resistant, and the "XW" seal design is compression
and distortion resistant to provide the ultimate in efficiency
and performance with absolutely no o-ring drag. The "XW-ring"
provides the user with a 50% longer wear life than basic o-ring
chains. |
