Rubber profiles are primarily used for sealing, protection, and cushioning in various industrial applications. They are manufactured according to the technical requirements of each project, taking into account the type of material, the profile shape, and the operating conditions.
In industrial environments, rubber gaskets are used to provide effective sealing against dust, water, or other external agents, as well as to protect edges and reduce vibrations. Choosing the right composition and profile geometry is essential for durability and performance.
Rubber seals are used in a wide range of industrial sectors, including machinery manufacturing, industrial equipment, the automotive industry, and technical systems where sealing and component protection are required.
Rubber profiles can be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the application, and are designed for installation on flat surfaces, edges, or in dedicated pockets. The material’s flexibility allows for good adaptation to dimensional tolerances and ensures consistent sealing under various operating conditions.
Depending on operating requirements, the seals can be made of solid or cellular rubber, with each type offering specific properties in terms of stiffness, compression, and resilience. The choice of material depends on temperature, mechanical stress, and the operating environment.
Below are the main categories of gaskets manufactured by Vulcom, based on material structure and field of use.
Compact rubber seals are used in applications where a tight seal and high mechanical strength are required. They are suitable for demanding industrial environments where the material must withstand wear, pressure, and temperature fluctuations.
Sponge rubber gaskets are characterized by their flexibility and compressibility, making them ideal for light sealing applications and for conforming to uneven surfaces. They are frequently used in applications where vibration absorption or compensation for manufacturing tolerances is required.
Rubber seals are used in a wide range of industrial and technical applications due to their versatility and sealing properties:
- on the basis of rubber nitrile rubber (NBR);
- on the basis of rubber ethylene propylene (EPDM);
- on the basis of silicone rubber (MVQ);
- on the basis of rubber food.
- with compact structure;
- spongy (spongy);
- with compact structure + plush (fluffy)
- with bicomponent structure: compact + spongy; compact + metal insert;
- with tricomponent structure: compact + metal insert + spongy.
Choosing the right rubber seals depends on several technical and functional factors:
For complex applications, we recommend consulting our team to choose the optimal solution.
Depending on the application requirements, rubber seals can be custom-made or selected from existing standard profiles.
Custom-made profiles are precisely tailored to the dimensions and operating conditions, ensuring optimal performance in specific applications.
Standard profiles are available from stock and offer a quick and efficient solution for common applications where standard sizes and shapes are sufficient.
