NBR FKM custom made molded rubber flat gaskets for machine

Custom rubber flat gaskets for machine joints should be developed around the mating outline and the features that locate them during assembly. NBR and FKM material versions need selection according to the actual medium and temperature. The gasket should sit on its intended contact path before the cover or adjoining part is fastened.

Check how the part remains positioned during closing. A large unsupported area or narrow connecting section can move as the cover approaches. Verify alignment at openings and corners instead of assuming that fastening will pull the gasket into the correct place.

The joint should compress the working region without pushing rubber into adjacent passages. Clean the mating faces before fitting and inspect the gasket for a fold while access is still available. On service removal, look for displaced sections and local contact marks that reveal uneven support. Replace damage with the correct contour and thickness. A thicker flat gasket should not be used as a general remedy for a cover that is misaligned or has an obstructed seat.
