Product Overview
Flexible flat rubber gaskets and seals should be replaced with the section required by the joint, not merely with a ring of similar outside size. This custom silicone option can follow the mating outline and closing space. The seat determines whether the interface needs a flat washer-like section or another ring profile.
Inspect the assembly before removing the old component when practical, noting its orientation and locating features. A used seal may have changed shape under compression, so its current thickness is not necessarily the original specification. Match the required dimensions of the joint instead of copying distortion.
Select the compound for the medium and temperature at the contact surfaces. Install the replacement cleanly without pulling it across locating points. Close the mating parts in alignment so that the rubber remains flat and supported. During subsequent care, inspect for cuts or repeated uneven deformation that may indicate a seating issue. Keep spare seals identified by their full profile and material to prevent similar-looking variants from being mixed during maintenance.
- Material options
- Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. A used seal may have changed shape under compression, so its current thickness is not necessarily the original specification.
- Custom dimensions
- The seat determines whether the interface needs a flat washer-like section or another ring profile.
- Fit & assembly
- Close the mating parts in alignment so that the rubber remains flat and supported.
- Use & inspection
- Inspect the assembly before removing the old component when practical, noting its orientation and locating features.

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.
