U-Rings and their many uses
U-Rings or lip seals, a guaranteed range of uses
While it is a fact that O-Rings are the universal seals par excellence, used in practically all sectors of industry and other less common areas such as the jewellery sector, as we have mentioned in previous posts.
However, this does not mean these are the only seals on the market, as there is a wide variety of the same,...

Metres and metres of cord ring in different thicknesses and tolerances
Metres and metres of cord ring
When the universal joint by antonomasia (the O-ring) is not a feasible option, the cord ring may be our best alternative. In many cases in which there is a specific need for maintenance for which there is no standard O-ring, the famous “cut and paste” can get us out of tricky situations.
Here at JIOrings we have more than 50,000...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Here we are again, expecting Santa Klaus to come.
Is there anything cuter than a child’s wondered smile discovering a JIOrings’ seals box?!
All our best wishes for Xmas and 2016.
We bid 2015 farewell, pleased with how things went and grateful to all our customers and suppliers
This year we posted a monthly turnover record, among other achievements we’d like to share with you.
As 2015 winds to an end, it´s time to look back at where we’ve been, see if progress has been made in the right direction, analyze our missteps and, above all, reflect and try to learn from both the good and the bad.
As we reflect on the last twelve months we realize that...
JIOrings, selling O-Rings and giving away solidarity
We participate in the Babyloan project, which helps small entrepreneurs all over the world with zero-interest loans.
We deal in seals (O-Rings, Static Seals, Rotary Seals, Hygienic Seals, Axial Seals, etc.). You won’t find a quicker way to get them. That’s our business area. However, we believe that a company should have other things as well. What things you ask? We call...
The X-Ring or the clover seal
The difference from the O-ring with its four lips or support points making its performance improve slightly.
The queen of static seals is the O-ring, undoubtedly the most universal seal, used in virtually all industrial sectors and even in others as surprising as jewellery (here as an ornamental element). However, we are going to dedicate this post to its...
This is how JIOrings, much more than an O-Ring Store, started
Our company stems from the determination of three friends: Jean Albert, Iñigo and Oscar, to give free rein to their ideas and to things their own way.
We’re the quickest way to find a seal: That is, an O-Ring, a Quad-Ring, Cord-Ring, V-Rings, U-Ring… This is because of our stock is one of the largest on the Iberian Peninsula, and because of our effectiveness, with...
From Tanzania I would import the “pole-pole”: Slow-Slow
In JIOrings we deal in O-Rings and solidarity: here is a very interesting interview with one of the founders of Born to Learn, a NGO we support.
We are JIOrings. As we like to put it, the quickest way to an O-ring. In our warehouses you can find 23 million O-Rings, one million Quad-Rings, 350,000 back-up seals, 130,000 V-Rings, 50,000 U-Rings, 50,000 meters worth of cord...
The O-Ring and its universality
That ring has become the quintessential one, used in all kind of industrial sectors and in other ones as amazing as jewelry or optics.
It is the universal seal. The O-Ring is the simplest and most versatile of all the standard seals: thanks to its unsophisticated shape, its use has spread to all industries (taps, car industries, pipes, hydraulics, pneumatics, flanges,...
