The Quad-O-Dyn®, also manufactured by Minnesota Rubber, is a special form of the Quad-Ring. The Quad-O-Dyn differs from the Quad-Ring in configuration (fig. 7-17), is harder, is subject to greater squeeze, and is made of a different material. The Quad-O-Dyn® seal also works well in O-rings glands.
The Quad-O-Dyn® is used in relatively few applications. However, for difficult dynamic sealing applications, the Quad-O-Dyn® can perform better than the Quad-Ring. Quad-O Dyn ® rings are installed in submarine hydraulic systems plant accumulators.
