Flat gasket

elastomermetalfabric

Product overview
Flat gaskets are custom-designed flat sealing elements manufactured to customer specifications. Available in a wide range of materials and formats for static sealing applications.

Production techniques

• Punching
• Waterjet cutting
• Cut from tube
• Injection moulding
• Compression moulding

Additional design options
Rubber-to-metal bonding possible; elastomer can be vulcanized onto a metal support for hybrid seals.

Fields of application

• Static
• Dynamic
• Single-acting
• Double-acting
• Linear motion
• Rotating
• Oscillating

Main use
Static sealing for specific industrial applications where a flat profile is required.

Materials
Elastomers, fabric-based laminates, metals, plastics.
