Product Overview

Industrial rubber grommets provide a flexible border at equipment openings used by wiring. Where the panel is opened during servicing, the lead may move even if it remains stationary during normal operation. The entry should be checked through that access sequence as well as in its closed position.

Locate the cable crossing relative to hinges, removable covers and nearby clips. A panel movement should not pull the grommet out of its groove or force the cable against an uncovered edge. The profile, material and hardness can be customized around the required opening and working space.

When refitting a serviced panel, look at the retaining flange before the last accessible side is closed. Check whether the cable route has changed around a replaced component. Keep the opening free of burrs and debris, and replace a grommet that has split during handling. If servicing repeatedly dislodges the part, review the route and installation geometry instead of accepting reseating as a normal step every time the panel is opened.

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: A panel movement should not pull the grommet out of its groove or force the cable against an uncovered edge.
Custom profile & fit: The profile, material and hardness can be customized around the required opening and working space.
Assembly considerations: If servicing repeatedly dislodges the part, review the route and installation geometry instead of accepting reseating as a normal step every time the panel is opened.
Design check: Check whether the cable route has changed around a replaced component.
