Damping and Sealing Applications
The listed applications are automotive shock absorption, vibration dampening and sealing. Confirm the installation position, ring dimensions and operating conditions so the proposed ring can be reviewed against the required fit and duty.
- Automotive shock absorbers
- Vibration dampening
- Sealing rings
Material and Ring Selection
Confirm the Stainless Steel Grade
304 stainless steel is the listed material family for the knitted wire. A specific grade, alloy composition and material certificate are not provided. State the required grade and documentation in your inquiry. The knitted wire mesh and compressed ring construction describe the product, but do not establish the material specification for every wire batch or any assembled component.
No alloy composition is published for this ring. Confirm the material designation and any required material documents before purchase.
Selection Inputs to Confirm
- Finished ring dimensions:Provide the outside diameter, inside diameter and thickness of the finished ring, plus any required compression or density. Mesh count and wire diameter describe the knitted wire, not the finished ring size; the compressed dimensions are confirmed against your requirement.
- Application and fit:State whether the ring is used for damping, sealing, spacing or another duty, and describe the mating parts and installation position. The same knitted mesh can be compressed to different ring sizes and densities; the proposed configuration is reviewed against the stated fit.
- Operating conditions:Provide the temperature range, exposure to fluids or gases, and any mechanical loading. A specific temperature limit, pressure rating or service life is not published for this ring; confirm the required conditions so a suitable wire grade and density can be proposed.
- Quantity and documentation:State the quantity, destination and any required inspection or material documents. No minimum order quantity or delivery lead time is published here.
Compressed Ring Purchasing Checklist
Use this checklist to define the finished ring and its knitted wire. This product is a knitted wire mesh ring, not a woven mesh screen, so standard woven-mesh tolerance tables do not apply. No dimensional tolerance standard or performance approval is claimed for this product.
| Selection Item | Listed Product Information | Information to Provide | Confirm Before Ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finished ring dimensions | Outside diameter, inside diameter and thickness not specified | Ring drawing or outside diameter, inside diameter and thickness, plus any compression or density target | Finished dimensions, measurement references and agreed tolerances |
| Wire mesh specification | 304 stainless steel knitted wire mesh; standard mesh counts 40, 80 and 120 mesh as listed | Required mesh count, wire diameter and any deviation from the listed specifications | Approved wire specification for the finished ring |
| Material grade and documents | 304 stainless steel family; grade, composition and certificates not specified | Required grade and any material documents or certificates | Agreed material designation and documentation package |
| Application and fit | Listed uses are automotive shock absorption, vibration dampening and sealing | Duty, mating parts, installation position and any dimensional constraints | Fit and duty confirmed against the finished ring configuration |
| Operating conditions | Temperature, pressure and service-life limits not specified | Temperature range, fluid or gas exposure, pressure and expected life | Suitable wire grade and density confirmed for the stated conditions |
| Inspection and acceptance | Certificates and test reports not specified | Required dimensional checks, material documents and any performance tests | Written acceptance criteria and agreed document package |
