To calculate the gland depth and width:
\[ D_g = D_o + C_a \]
Where:
Similarly, the gland width can be calculated by adding the O-Ring cross section diameter to the clearance allowance.
An O-Ring gland is a specially designed groove or cavity where an O-Ring is seated to create a seal between two or more parts. The gland ensures that the O-Ring is compressed to the correct amount to provide an effective seal without causing damage to the O-Ring. The dimensions of the gland, including its depth and width, are critical to the performance of the O-Ring seal. Proper gland design helps to prevent leakage and ensures the longevity of the O-Ring in various applications, such as hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, and static sealing applications.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ D_g = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 \text{ mm} \]
The Gland Depth is 2.5 mm.
\[ W_g = 2 + 0.3 = 2.3 \text{ mm} \]
The Gland Width is 2.3 mm.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ D_g = 3 + 0.7 = 3.7 \text{ mm} \]
The Gland Depth is 3.7 mm.
\[ W_g = 3 + 0.4 = 3.4 \text{ mm} \]
The Gland Width is 3.4 mm.
