Custom molded rubber: All things you need to know

While there may be many rubber parts and components available for the product, sometimes it's hard to find the parts you need. One of the ways manufacturers combat this problem is by using custom-molded rubber parts. Manufacturers choose to buy custom molded rubber because they get the workpiece exactly as they want with the desired properties. This reduces overall costs as you are designing parts to fit the purpose rather than designing to fit the part.

Benefits of custom molded rubber:

We use custom rubber molding services because of their many advantages. The main advantage is that part properties can be selected.

• Ability to produce from one prototype to full volume.
• Ability to adapt parts to conditions through material and thickness selection
• More beautiful customization with colour and texture options.
• Ability to complete rubber-to-metal bonding if required for parts
• Perfect for detailed parts requiring high precision and precision.

 

Industries and applications of custom molded rubber:

 

Many industries use custom-molded rubber parts for all sorts of applications, from hose grommets to fasteners. There are no restrictions on custom-molded rubber.

• Automotive: engine mounts, door and window seals, vibration reduction extrusion pipe
• Structure: noise control system, belt, buttons and knobs, engine mounts, bushings.
• Protection: Damping mounts, rails and belts, isolating rifles or equipment. Reduce metal-to-metal contact
• Mass transit system: bumpers, rubber seals, window and door seals, Extrusions and pipes
• Medical: catheters, gaskets, tubing, stress relief, extrusion, syringes, diaphragms, wires.
• Agricultural applications: vibration damping, noise control, door and window seals, engine mounts, bushings, bumpers, and extrusions.

 

These industries are not the only industries that use custom rubber molding services. Often custom rubber molding services are customer driven. This means that the customer will present an idea, help in the design process, and approve the prototype. Custom rubber parts are not necessarily based on standard parts such as seals or bushings. These parts and their functions can be unique to the customer's requirements.
