Back-up rings are manufactured from extrusion resistant material as protection and support elements, normally with a rectangular cross-section.
For static applications they are used together with an elastomer seal – usually an O-ring – placed in the groove.
Because there is a tight fit between back-up ring and bore hole or rod it prevents the O-ring from extruding into the sealing gap under pressure.
