Made from Teflon, this back-up ring is a precision sealing component designed to support and retain primary seals in hydraulic assemblies, preventing extrusion under pressure cycling. Part of the Aeroquip line from Danfoss / Eaton, the Danfoss / Eaton Back-Up Ring is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different fitting and port configurations across hydraulic systems.
Teflon construction provides strong chemical resistance and reliable performance across a broad range of fluid types. At 0.01 lb, this is a lightweight replacement part well suited for maintenance and repair kits. Fluid compatibility documentation is available through Eaton for reference when specifying this component for a particular application.
What's the deal with this ring, is it just a regular washer?

Not quite a regular washer, it's made from Teflon and specifically designed as a back-up to your primary seals in hydraulic systems. Basically, it keeps those seals from getting squeezed out of place when the pressure spikes.
