The coated ISC O-Ring from Simrit
The coated ISC O-Ring, X-Ring and special designs from Simrit are the optimal sealing solutions for meeting the customers technical requirements. This not only involves requirements regarding the actual use of seals but also demands on upstream processes such as handling, separation and the installation of sealing components.
Benefits of the coated ISC O-Ring:
Simplified Assembly Reduced insertion force Suitable for dynamic Applications
Improved reliability in the assembly process
The resulting reduction in contact friction with a coated ISC O-Ring prevents the adhesion to machine parts during the feed process. Sticking of the individual O-Rings is also avoided in this process step.
Compared to oiled O-Rings, the possible introduction of contaminants to the subassembly by foreign particles is greatly reduced through the use of a coated ISC O-Ring. During assembly damage to the ISC O-Ring is avoided thanks to low friction coefficients as well as the rings tendency to twist. Overall the coated ISC O-Ring makes a major contribution to a smooth running production process.

Range of coatings: Surface Coating (SC) families of the ISC O-Ring
The different SC families are geared to individual key requirements. Within every SC family there is a wide range of coating variants characterised by graduated modification. This allows application-specific requirements to be taken into account. There are also numerous standard approvals (KTW, FDA etc).

Benefits of coated ISC O-Ring
Reliable assembly through reduced friction
The friction forces occurring during assembly are greatly reduced with the coated ISC O-Ring. This means the risk of damage to the ISC O-Ring is much lower during assembly. Installation and dismantling also become faster thanks to the coating. When a coated ISC O-Ring is used for a plug system, very low forces are required for assembly. With Surface Coating A (SCA) for example, the low friction and insertion forces are reduced by approx. 85 %.

Low stresses on the ISC O-Ring and system
Low friction is very important for dynamic applications using ISC O-Rings. There is a marked reduction in friction on the O-Ring, thus increasing the service life to a major extent. For example, with Surface Coating B (SCB) the friction level in dynamic applications is reduced by some 75 %.

Economic benefits for the customer
Savings thanks to optimised assembly
Each year a customer fits 2.2 million O-Rings in his production facility. The fitting path for the O-Ring is 20 mm, which resulted in twisting, incorrect assembly and in certain cases damage to the O-Ring. The use of a coated ISC O-Ring allowed the assembly defect rate to be reduced from 3 % to 0.02 %. The result was a major fall in the number of defective components being detected during the final inspection. There was also a marked reduction in the inspection work involved for failure analysis as well as for the rectification of defective components through the dismantling and renewed performance of the assembly process. In addition to these improvements it was possible to reduce the assembly time by 4 %. This was achieved via workerfriendly assembly with lower friction levels and a shorter time requirement for O-Ring separation. Alone the direct economic overall benefit to this customer from the above effects amounted to 45,000 per year.
