硅橡胶气涨环是X5系列真空旋盖机的真空室重要组成部分，因为特殊的使用方式和材料原因，气涨环列为耗材类。
气涨环损坏的主要现象是气囊破裂，除一些使用不当情况，正常气囊壁破裂主要原因是局部磨损导致的应力集中。
通过试验和用户实际反馈信息，II型气涨环的正常使用寿命在10万次左右，少部分用户反应使用寿命过短，没达到理想状态，这里列举几种可能影响气涨环使用寿命的情况：
规格匹配问题，气涨环充气膨胀的单边变形量应控制在3~5毫米范围，尽量小。变形量越小，材料的损伤概率越低。
充气压力控制问题，充气压力以气涨环可以实现密封和抱紧所需的最小气压为宜，只要旋盖时瓶子不打滑打转，把充气压力控制在尽可能小，一般0.2MPa，不能超过0.4MPa。如果是因为瓶身或气涨环沾油导致瓶身打滑和上窜，应处理沾油问题，通过调大气涨环充气压力可能会一时解决，肯定会影响气涨环使用寿命。
相关零部件的表面缺陷问题，与气涨环气囊外壁接触的金属零件表面应确保光滑，无毛刺和异物。必要的时候可以对压板面进行抛光处理。
安装问题，气涨环安装前应做清洁处理，粘附在硅橡胶表面和不锈钢压板表面的灰沙异物都可能是加剧硅橡胶磨损的原因。安装时可以在气囊外壁和金属压板之间涂抹润滑硅油。
维护问题，在使用生产过程中，如出现污损气涨环的情况，应及时清理，有些物料里面的硬质颗粒也可能造成硅橡胶气囊的磨损。
The silicone rubber inflatable ring is an important component of the vacuum chamber of the X5 series vacuum capping machines. Due to its special usage mode and material properties, the inflatable ring is classified as a consumable item.
The main manifestation of damage to the inflatable ring is the rupture of the airbag. Except for some cases of improper use, the main reason for the normal rupture of the airbag wall is the stress concentration caused by local wear.
Based on tests and actual feedback from users, the normal service life of Type II inflatable rings is around 100,000 times. A small number of users have reported that the service life is too short and does not reach the ideal state. Here are several situations that may affect the service life of the inflatable ring:
Regarding the issue of specification matching, the unilateral deformation amount of the inflatable ring during inflation and expansion should be controlled within the range of 3 to 5 millimeters, and preferably as small as possible. The smaller the deformation amount, the lower the probability of material damage.
Regarding the issue of inflation pressure control, the inflation pressure should be set to the minimum air pressure required for the inflatable ring to achieve sealing and clamping. As long as the bottles do not slip or rotate during capping, the inflation pressure should be controlled to be as small as possible, generally 0.2 MPa, and should not exceed 0.4 MPa. If the bottle slips and moves upward due to oil on the bottle body or the inflatable ring, the oil problem should be dealt with. Although increasing the inflation pressure of the inflatable ring may temporarily solve the problem, it will definitely affect the service life of the inflatable ring.
Regarding the issue of surface defects of related components, the surfaces of the metal parts in contact with the outer wall of the inflatable ring's airbag should be ensured to be smooth, free of burrs and foreign objects. When necessary, the pressing plate surface can be polished.
Regarding the installation issue, the inflatable ring should be cleaned before installation. The dust, sand and foreign objects adhering to the surface of the silicone rubber and the stainless steel pressing plate may all be reasons for aggravating the wear of the silicone rubber. During installation, lubricating silicone oil can be applied between the outer wall of the airbag and the metal pressing plate.
Regarding the maintenance issue, during the production process, if the inflatable ring is soiled, it should be cleaned in a timely manner. The hard particles in some materials may also cause wear to the silicone rubber airbag.
