Olypsys for Backup Rings

Accurate contactless backup ring identification using your smartphone. Measure anti-extrusion rings with the same speed and simplicity as O-Rings. Pro

How It Works

Backup rings have a rectangular cross-section that differs from standard O-Rings. Olypsys detects the profile and applies the correct measurement approach automatically.

Precise ID, OD, and cross-section results

Purpose-Built for Backup Rings

Backup rings are critical components in high-pressure sealing systems. Accurate identification ensures the right anti-extrusion ring is paired with the right O-Ring.

Rectangular Profile

Correctly handles the rectangular cross-section typical of PTFE and polymer backup rings, distinct from round O-Ring profiles.

Standard Matching

Matches measured dimensions against standard backup ring size tables for fast, confident identification.

Works on All Materials

Handles PTFE, PEEK, nylon, and other backup ring materials regardless of colour or surface finish.

Spiral & Split Types

Measures both continuous and spiral-cut backup rings, accounting for the gap in split designs.

Paired with O-Rings

Use alongside O-Ring measurement to verify complete seal assemblies, with both components measured on the same system.

Full Traceability

Every measurement is saved to the cloud with timestamps, images, and exportable PDF reports for your records.
