Product Overview
Metal parts coated with rubber combine a rigid underlying shape with a compliant outer interface. The coating's coverage and thickness determine which surfaces meet adjoining components through rubber and which metal features remain available for attachment. That distinction matters when the part is used within an automotive damping arrangement.
Check the full profile, including edges where the coating ends. An exposed metal area may be intentional at a fastening point but unsuitable at the working contact face. The selected rubber formulation must suit the actual temperature, fluids and movement at the installation location.
Evaluate the complete component for the required duty rather than assuming the coating alone establishes a particular damping level or corrosion protection. During assembly, keep sharp tools and mating edges from cutting the rubber layer. Inspect accessible boundaries between coating and metal during servicing. Lifting, wear-through or separation can change the contact path even while the underlying metal remains firmly attached, so a secure fixing is not sufficient evidence that the coated part is still functioning as intended.
- Material options
- Custom silicone or rubber formulation, with dimensions and color adapted to the mating component.
- Hardness range
- Silicone: 20–80 Shore A; rubber: 30–90 Shore A. Assess the grade against this fit requirement: Lifting, wear-through or separation can change the contact path even while the underlying metal remains firmly attached, so a secure fixing is not sufficient evidence that the coated part is still functioning as intended.

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.
