Product Overview

An oval rubber grommet follows an elongated opening and provides a shaped interface for a cable entry. Its long sides and rounded ends need to match the receiving panel, while the cable passage is sized for the intended route. Custom dimensions allow the insert to fit a specific opening rather than relying on a round part stretched out of shape.

When the design is intended to limit water entry, inspect the rounded ends carefully. Uneven seating at these areas can remain unnoticed when the longer sides look flush. Panel thickness, edge shape, and cable loading all affect the final contact around the insert.

Install the grommet in its intended orientation and keep the cable from pushing against one end. Check the full perimeter again after securing nearby wiring, since a clamp position can change the force at the entry. The required water protection belongs to the complete assembled enclosure and its operating conditions. Use the grommet as a fitted component within that design, with adequate clearance for inspection and later cable servicing.

Material options: Custom rubber compound and color, selected for the contact conditions and required geometry.
Hardness range: 30–90 Shore A for rubber. Assess the grade against this fit requirement: Panel thickness, edge shape, and cable loading all affect the final contact around the insert.
Custom profile & fit: Custom dimensions allow the insert to fit a specific opening rather than relying on a round part stretched out of shape.
Assembly considerations: Install the grommet in its intended orientation and keep the cable from pushing against one end.
Design check: Check the full perimeter again after securing nearby wiring, since a clamp position can change the force at the entry.

Ordering this custom component

Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?

Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.

Which details should be agreed before tooling?

Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.

Can a sample help define the replacement?

A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.

How is the quotation for this part determined?

The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
