Please 'splain to me the reason for an O-ring groove that has clearance on the sides. (3/16 wide for 1/8" ring)
I have two to produce currently for my own app, and not 100% sure that I want to copy the design or not.
My app here has some sliding action, probably 1/4-3/8", and it will spin enough to reposition, but that is it. Talking to a buddy - he was wondering if they actually wanted to induce some roll during the slide - to possibly reduce creating a flat spot. ???
Pretty sure that at least one of these has no real pressure on it, and I believe the second might be the same as well.
I believe that I have produced other out-of-square grooves over the years, but then I don't know the ring they were puting in those grooves. But this app here just has a basic O-ring in it. There is a slight possibility that it could have had a quad type in it at one time, but I doubt it.
