The Simple Solution for Tough Applications
Precision-engineered composite seals integrate a sealing element with auxiliary components into a single unit, optimizing installation efficiency and minimizing assembly costs. These components incorporate complex geometries such as elastomers bonded to metallic substrates, plastic materials, or filtration materials. Composite seals streamline your design by consolidating multiple elements into a unified structure, enhancing dimensional accuracy, and eliminating the need for separate seal-to-component integration processes.
Optimized Sealing Technology
The direct vulcanization of elastomeric seals to complementary metallic or polymeric substrates results in many technical advantages, including:
- Design optimization: Consolidation of multiple components into a single, integrated unit
- Enhanced dimensional stability: Mitigation of tolerance stackup
- Elimination of seal-to-component integration: Reduction of defect sources and associated costs
