Custom made rubber coated metal/ rubber parts with hardware

Custom rubber coated metal parts combine a metal element with a molded rubber region. The hardware can establish attachment or support, while the rubber provides the defined contact surface required by the application. The exposed metal features and covered areas should be planned as one component.

Identify which surfaces must remain available for fastening, locating, or mating with other hardware. Rubber thickness near those areas can affect assembly clearance, and a tool should not bear on the molded surface unless that is part of the intended fitting method. The metal geometry should also support the rubber where operational forces enter the component.

Select the compound for the actual exposure and the working contact. Evaluate the complete part under the intended loading direction, including any tendency to pull the rubber away from the hardware. Its dimensions and attachment details do not establish a universal load or bond strength. During service, inspect the transitions between rubber and metal for damage or separation. Replacement should preserve the hardware interface and molded profile together so the new part locates and works as intended.

Material options

Rubber compound options, customized alongside the profile and contact conditions.

Hardness selection

Solid rubber options: 30–90 Shore A. The hardware can establish attachment or support, while the rubber provides the defined contact surface required by the application.
