The O-Ring Boss (ORB) or SAE Straight Thread O-ring meet SAE J1926 standard, and is an ingeniously designed threaded connection perfect for a range of hydraulic applications, particularly where medium to high pressures are involved. At the heart of its design, the male component boasts a straight thread which comes with a specialized groove. This groove is meant for an O-ring. On the other hand, the female component is also straight-threaded but has an added machined surface. This surface, combined with a chamfer, is designed to snugly accommodate the O-ring.
Now, here’s the magic: when you connect the male and female components, the O-ring gets squished between their respective seats. This compression creates a remarkably tight bond between the two parts. What’s even more impressive is that this seal is robust enough to adjust for any minor discrepancies or variations in dimensions between the connecting components. The result? A seal that is almost impermeable, making it an excellent choice for applications where leak prevention is crucial.
