The 180° Split O-Ring Mold: Precision Tooling for Maintenance and Complex AssemblyWithin the specialized domain of rubber molding, the design of a tool is fundamentally dictated by the geometry of the finished part and the constraints of its application. For the ubiquitous O-ring, the standard production method employs a fully enclosed, pin-type or flash mold, yielding seamless, dimensionally perfect rings ideal for OEM installation. However, a significant segment of demand exists not for new assembly, but for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), or for installations where a continuous rin...
