A Look at Engineered Mechanical Rubber Components
Rubber is a very common material used in a wide variety of industries, including the automotive, mining, and electrical industries. If you work in one of these fields, you know just how integral rubber is to the machines and other tools that you work with.
That’s why you need Real Seal, one of the industry’s best seal and rubber component suppliers. We can produce components to suit your needs, no matter what they may be. Here are just a few examples of the many components we can produce.
Elastomer Diaphragms
Elastomer diaphragms are flexible barriers designed to prevent fluid exchange between two separate chambers. They cover the gap between a moving member and a stationary member, and are often found in gas or heating systems.
We can produce static or dynamic diaphragms, depending on your application. A static diaphragm can separate two fluids with little to no motion or pressure differential. We can also produce dynamic diaphragms if you need force or pressure to be transferred between the members.
Rubber Balls
Rubber balls are a special type of seal that may be useful for your application if you need something that will prevent leaks, resist dirt, and minimize noise. Rubber balls are precision ground in order to produce the superior sealing surface you need. They are primarily found in a check valve to seal against hydraulic fluid, water, or air. Our rubber balls come in a wide variety of durometers for you to choose from.
Rubber Waterstops
Concrete structures are highly dependent on the waterstops which join them in order to remain watertight. They are very important water treatment plans, reservoirs, locks, and dams. The waterstop you choose will be dependent on a number of factors including the joint type and joint movement, hydrostatic pressure, and chemical exposure. Whether you need swelling, non-swelling, or a chemically resistant waterstop, Real Seal can supply you with the parts you need.
Silicone Hoses and Tubes
Silicone hoses and tubes are often found in a wide variety of applications, including respiratory devices, peristaltic pumps, fluid handling devices, and high purity water and process systems. They are particularly valuable in the medical, food, and drug industries for their odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic qualities. They can also a resist a wide variety of temperatures, from as low as -65°F all the up to 440°F. Real Seal can produce silicone hoses and tubes with a high level of purity.
Idler Discs
We can also produce idler discs used in conveyors, including impact discs, bull nose discs, and return discs. Our discs are designed for maximum abrasion resistance, and may also be produced with materials that withstand fire and static. No matter whether your application mines coal, sugar, or grain, we’ll have an idler disc suitable for you.
