RS PRO Metric Silicone (VMQ) 70 ShA O-Rings


Introducing the range of RS PRO Silicone O-Rings, ideal for use as seals for general engineering and sealing applications in the medical, pharmaceutical and medical industry. This O-ring is manufactured from Silicone (VMQ), which is a premium material and is popular within medical and food processing industries. With a variety of metric and imperial sizes available to suit a wide range of applications, the O-ring also offers long life and excellent chemical resistance to most hydrocarbons, oils and fuels to aid optimum performance for the life of the O-ring.

Features and Benefits:


  • This range of RS PRO O-rings are versatile seals that can be used as shaft seals, face to face seals, as well as facilitating rotary and linear movement

  • The VMQ material is hardwearing with excellent resistance to chemicals and provides optimum performance and a long-lasting seal life

  • Operating temperature range: -50°C to 230°C

  • Ideal for use as a general-purpose seal in a range of low tensile applications in the pharmaceutical, medical and food and beverage industry

  • Silicone is unsuitable for use with silicone-based greases, instead it is recommended to use it with PTFE-based lubricants

  • Available in a wide range of metric and imperial sizes

    • Applications:


    An O-ring is a type of round or donut-shaped seal and is most commonly used to stop fluids or air passing through into another area. O-rings are normally seated between two sections and when compressed, they form a secure seal that prevents particle, vapour and fluid leakage which in turn protects and maintains pressure whilst keeping debris out, ensuring proper function and safety. They come in different sizes and materials, depending on the application they are used for, so it is important to consider what materials and fluids are going to be in contact with the seal to ensure it is the right one. These seals or gaskets are most commonly used in:

  • Industrial and manufacturing applications

  • Plumbing

  • Hydraulics and pneumatics

  • Automotive manufacturing and repair

  • Power transmission technology

    • How long does an O-Ring last for?


    If the O-ring is used in the correct conditions for the material, VQM Silicone O-rings can last around 25 years
