Sealing ring, hygienic design

Components with cylindrical mounting surfaces which are installed in hygienic areas can be sealed and mounted without dead spaces using sealing rings GN 7600. All standard parts equipped and delivered with sealing rings GN 7600 are listed in the table. For replacement, the corresponding sealing rings can be ordered individually. As delivered, or unassembled, the sealing rings have the “actual dimensions” as stated in the table. To ensure a firm seating and reliable sealing, a corresponding installation space must be provided in the component. This ensures that when the sealing ring is installed, it will be subject to the necessary pressure without excess load. All surfaces which are in contact with the sealing ring should have a minimum surface quality of Ra 0.8 μm.
