Custom End Styles
Selection of the proper end style configuration is essential in sealing applications. Acceptable leakage rates, sizes of the rings, and types of assembly are factors that help determine the appropriate end style configuration of piston rings and seal rings. Shown below are the most common end style configurations.
Please Contact Pri to inquire about an end style configuration not shown below or call 317-247-4786 to consult with the engineering department for proper end style selection. The engineers can help select an end style configuration suited to the application requirements.

Custom End Style Configuration Options
Pri provides custom piston ring end style solutions for your application’s unique specifications. Pri’s custom piston end style configuration options include:
The most practical and economical end style options. Recommended for most applications. Good leakage control.
Widely used on rotating seals. Rings should be oriented so the leading edge points in the direction of rotation. Rings with an angled end style decrease the tendency to score at the gap.
Sometimes applied to contracting and snap rings to provide simple removal from the groove.
Used where two rings per groove are not practical. The step end style prevents a direct flow path between the piston and cylinder. The section must be larger to accommodate the strength of the steps.
Used for blind assembly or when the ring must pass ports in the cylinder wall. Limits free expansion.
This single piece ring option delivers tighter leakage control by blocking all open gaps. Rings of medium to larger diameters permit the use of this end style.
This ring can maintain low leakage and restrain the free diameter for blind assembly. Used on medium to large rings with adequate space to accommodate the complex feature.
This ring can maintain low leakage and restrain the free diameter for blind assembly. Used on medium to large rings with adequate space to accommodate the complex feature. Applicable where pressure will reverse.
Similar to the mitre step, this single piece ring blocks all open gaps for tighter leakage control. Used on medium to large rings with adequate space to accommodate the complex feature. Applicable where pressure will reverse.
