Traditionally made from brass, sealing rings for flanges and adapters are characterised by their high resistance to physical stress and excellent corrosion resistance. The new MAPAL sealing rings. Sealing rings are used to manually close the clamping bore on HSK spindles and adapters and protect them against the ingress of dirt. However, like the associated holding screws, conventional brass products contain small amounts of lead, the release of which can have harmful effects on the ecosystem. Consequently, many countries introduced strict regulations to minimise the release of lead into the ..read more
