Since it was important to provide 360° support of the felt and rubber sealing components, the ring ends were specially designed to provide a minimum gap when the ring was located tightly in the plastic housing groove.
As the groove was particularly shallow, it was also necessary to produce the ring from square-edged, 302 stainless steel material rather than the standard round-edge form.
