X-Ring Advantage

Superior Low-Friction Sealing for Every Dynamic Application

Detroit Sealing Components' X-rings and quad rings deliver a decisive engineering advantage over conventional O-rings. Their four-lobed cross-section creates two sealing lips on both the ID and OD, halving groove contact area and dramatically reducing friction and stick-slip—critical for Michigan automotive lines and precision industrial equipment nationwide. Available in NBR, FKM, EPDM, Silicone, HNBR, and more, with custom material development backed by our ISO 17025 accredited lab, every X-ring we supply is engineered to perform.
