Elastomer

They can be used for various functions (acoustic damping, mechanical sealing) while preserving the desired mechanical properties and ensuring ease of assembly on the vehicle. The bulkhead grommet isolates the engine compartment from the cabin while allowing the gearbox control cables to be routed through. This component must enable a good seal and good acoustic performance to be achieved. SACRED EXPERTISE SACRED’s know-how in the formulation of customised materials enables us to choose the right elastomer, ensuring the part meets the customer’s functional requirements. SACRED’s design experience in automotive components complements the choice of material in achieving the acoustic and sealing targets.. DISTINCTIVE DESIGN SACRED provides innovative solutions that can meet the most demanding functional specifications. We provide a range of solutions on shapes, thicknesses, choice of material and assembly to meet the requirements for sealing, acoustics, mounting forces and rotation torque. Our solutions are validated in-house through prototyping phases, including digital simulation using finite element analysis. Our expertise in the development chain and in our product manufacturing gives us a significant competitive advantage in terms of time and cost savings in achieving our customers’ specifications. VALIDATION/TESTING SACRED has numerous test facilities in its laboratories in France and in its other locations. We are equipped to carry out static and dynamic leak tests, testing for resistance to environmental constraints (temperature, salt spray, etc.) and acoustic sealing.
