What are custom molded parts and rubber seals?

Molded parts are special products in sealing technology (such as diaphragms, frame seals and housing seals or special elastomer lip seals) designed for a specific deployment purpose to offer a substantial advantage over standard seals: These custom-molded seals are precisely tailored to the specific application at hand. As their name implies, they are manufactured using special forming molds and dies. In addition, selecting the right materials in order to fulfill all custom specifications guarantees maximum leak-tightness as well as an overall longer service life. Furthermore, the use of molded seals can simplify the construction of equipment components, which can largely compensate for the tooling costs required to manufacture these molded parts.

	Material Designation	Hardness	Temperature Range*	Resistance/main property

CR	Chloroprene elastomer	20-90	-40 to +100°C	Alkalis, alcohols, lubricants, glycols, ozone, coolants; only limited resistance to mineral oil and grease; resistant to aging and weathering
VMQ	Silicone elastomer	30-80	-60 to +200°C	Broad temperature range, animal and vegetable oils and greases, water, diluted saline solutions; not for silicone oil and grease; resistant to ozone and weathering
FVMQ	Fluorosilicone elastomer	30-80	-60 to +175°C	Fuels, mineral and synthetic oils and greases; resistant to ozone and weathering

FFKM	Perfluoroelastomer (Kalrez®)	60-90	-15 to +315°C	Exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability; longest service life with superior sealing reliability in critical applications
EPDM	thylene-propylene-diene monomer elastomer	30-90	-40 to +150°C	Hot water and steam, glycol-based brake fluids, many organic and inorganic acids and bases; not suitable for mineral oils and greases; good resistance to aging and weathering

*These temperature specifications are approximate values. There are also and specific materials available with a wider temperature range.

Advantages of using customised precision parts

• Optimum functionality because the seal geometry is adapted to fit the equipment or part design
• Good adaptability under low compression forces
• Minimal space requirements and simple groove design
• Easy and durable groove fixation by means of special retaining ribs
• Simple installation and easy handling
• Molded gaskets are superior to standard seals when it comes to bridging large installation tolerances, especially when plastic parts are involved
• Potential solution for large compression travel by means of specifically designed lip seals and advantageous force/displacement ratios (versus compact seals like O-rings)
• In dynamic deployment, optimization of sliding and static friction as well as breakaway torque through the shaping of the seal
• Use of specially designed lip seals for slow rotational or swiveling motion
• High-performance materials optimally suited for the customer-specific application
• Very good value proposition for medium and large series orders

With Angst+Pfister from task formulation to custom solution

Angst+Pfister places its extensive experience in developing application-specific molded parts entirely at the service of its customers. We will be there for you during the whole process:

1. We address the application problem together with you in an early development phase.
2. We design the seal environment together with you (receiving groove/seal contact area).
3. We design and execute the seal design, during which CAD-supported seal proposals can be discussed with you and FEM simulations of functionality can be conducted.
4. We produce the prototypes from pilot molds for the deployment tests (as well as lathe-cut molded seal prototypes where required in the case of rotationally symmetric geometries).
5. We receive your approval or we optimize the prototype and its seal geometry.
6. We produce the series molded parts and deliver first samples with an initial sample test report.
7. After approval of the series molded parts, we produce and deploy the series seal.

The perfect design and configuration of the geometry is the most important thing when it comes to molded parts. Getting the experience and creativity of the Angst+Pfister engineering team involved early on is the foundation for mutual project success. Contact us with your individual needs today!

A selection of molded seals, such as sterile seals and also molded parts, such as bellows, stoppers and cable sleeves can also be found on our online shop!
