How to calculate the compression of o-ring.
How to calculate the compression of o-ring.
(OP)
The o-ring is on the stem, after test, I found the stem has abrasion with the shaft housing. There are two aspects,first to modify the clearance of stem and shaft housing(match the o-ring's OD), second to modify the groove on the stem9match the o-ring's ID). The two methods all change the compression of o-ring,how to do it? thanks a lot.
What's your plan, How to do, What do you receive after review.

Good suppliers of O-rings will be able to advice you on all aspects:
form and size of groove and suitable O-ring form and size and materieal.
All technical data must be available.
If you are a producer one method might be to ask two competitors for technical advice, preliminary (not final!) offer to qualify for bidding, based on a number for tests and a presumed number per year.

What is the purpose of the o-ring?

The o-ring is motive seal, and I want to reduce the friction by the two methods metioned earlier.
