Sealing Ring
Bendix

Sealing rings play a vital role in maintaining hydraulic integrity across brake actuators, cylinders, and valve interfaces. This elastomeric or metal-reinforced ring provides a positive static and dynamic seal, preventing fluid leakage between mating surfaces while accommodating slight misalignments inherent in field service. Effective sealing minimizes internal leakage, preserves system pressure, and reduces energy losses during brake application, contributing to shorter stopping distances and more predictable braking performance. Installation requires careful bore preparation and seating to ensure a uniform compression stress profile, which enhances seal life and resistance to extrusion under high-pressure conditions. In Bendix-branded ecosystems, this sealing ring fits into designated grooves and interfaces with standard valve housings and connectors, ensuring compatibility with a range of 42848-category components in the braking-system family. VMRS code 013-011-133 anchors its function within the sealing and gasket hierarchy, highlighting its importance for durable, leak-free operation across assemblies that demand reliability and longevity.
