Industrial gaskets and seals

Gaskets and Seals are used to seal a joint between two parts by compression, friction or both.  The gasket is the most common form of seal and has been used for centuries. They have been used on everything from early sailing ships, to modern automobiles. There are many different types of gaskets available depending on the type of application they are being used in.

Gaskets can be made from different materials such as metal, rubber, plastic or even paper. The material that is chosen depends on the specific application and environment it will be used in. For example if you need a metal gasket for use in an engine compartment then you will want to choose stainless steel over regular steel since it’s corrosion resistant properties will help prevent rusting which can cause leaks over time.

There are also many different shapes and sizes available ranging from simple round circles all the way up to complex custom shapes that are required for specific applications such as sealing areas where space is limited or at angles where traditional round gasket shapes won’t work well.

Wherever there is a joint between two parts where leaks could cause problems then you should consider using one of these types of seals since they can save you money by preventing these types of problems before they happen.

Industrial gaskets and seals are designed to seal and compress a wide range of applications, including pumps, valves and more. Gaskets provide a seal between two surfaces while seals are used to stop leakage in a variety of different applications.

Gaskets:

A gasket is a piece of material that fills the space between two surfaces to make them airtight. A gasket can be made from several different materials depending on the application, but they typically come in two forms: soft or rigid. The most common gasket material is rubber as it is durable, flexible and able to withstand high temperatures without losing its shape. Other common materials include cork and neoprene; however, each has their own unique properties that make them ideal for certain applications. For example, neoprene is resistant to oils and chemicals so it’s commonly used in food processing equipment where there might be oil leaks or spills present in the environment.

Seals:

A seal is similar to a gasket except it does not compress like a gasket does when installed in its application — instead, it simply stops any leakage from occurring within its designated area by creating an airtight seal around itself so no air can pass through its space (if any).

Industrial gaskets and seals are often used in industrial applications. They can be made of rubber, plastic, or metal, depending on the application. Gaskets and seals are used in a variety of industries such as automotive, aerospace and construction.

The material that you choose will depend on the type of application. If your application requires a high degree of flexibility and durability then rubber may be best for you. However, if your application needs to withstand high temperatures then metal may be more appropriate.

When selecting the right gasket for your application, there are a few factors to consider:

  • Material type (rubber versus metal)
  • Size and shape
  • Durability

The 5 main categories:

  • Radial shaft seals
  • Wear sleeves
  • Hydraulic seals
  • Static seals
  • Axial shaft seals

 Increasing performance

In today’s competitive marketplace, manufacturers need to use the most advanced technologies and manufacturing processes available. Industrial gaskets and seals are an important part of this process. They are used in virtually every industry, from aerospace to agriculture. By providing a barrier between two surfaces that must not be allowed to touch, they protect components from corrosion, contamination and other damaging effects. When properly applied, the materials used in these products can also provide exceptional resistance against extreme temperatures, vibrations or chemicals.

Industrial gaskets and seals can increase performance, reduce maintenance costs, increase safety and improve the overall efficiency of industrial equipment. There are many different types of industrial gaskets and seals available for a wide range of applications.

The main purpose of an industrial gasket or seal is to prevent leakage between two surfaces that are moving relative to each other. In most cases, these surfaces will be subject to high pressure. For example, the faces of a rotating shaft may need to be sealed against leakage from a fluid-filled case to prevent contamination and ensure proper lubrication. The same principle applies when sealing a joint between two parts within an engine block or transmission casing where high-temperature fluids are present.

Gaskets or seals may also be used as protective layers between moving parts to prevent damage from friction or impact. For example, there are many types of ring gaskets used within an engine block where one part moves relative to another part (e.g., piston rings).

Industrial gasket materials vary greatly depending on their application, with common choices including rubber, silicone, neoprene and other synthetic materials; metal alloys; paper; fiberglass; cork; Teflon; graphite; natural rubber and more.

Our industrial seals and gaskets support machinery of all sizes: from small-sized rotary tools to massive turbines. Industrial seals and gaskets are designed to optimize the performance of the machines. When you apply the attached industrial seals and/or gaskets to the machinery, they will help you to achieve reliable results. In addition, this will induce an increase of productivity.

Mantova Gomma manufactures and supplies a variety of high-quality industrial gaskets, produced with the latest technology in the manufacture of gaskets and seals.

They seal out contaminants, resist wear and tear, and protect against corrosion. The following are some common industrial gaskets:

Silicone rubber is a general-purpose material that can be used in a wide variety of applications. It offers excellent chemical resistance and high-temperature tolerance. Silicone rubber also has good abrasion resistance, so it can be used in applications where there is contact with other materials that have sharp edges such as metal or glass. Silicone rubber is commonly used for gasketing oil pans on engines, for example.

Neoprene is another general-purpose material that can be used in many industries. It has excellent tensile strength and compressive strength, so it’s often used in heavy-duty applications where heavy loads need to be supported by the gasketing material. Neoprene also offers good resistance to oil and water contamination when it’s exposed to them during the operation of machinery or other equipment that uses neoprene gaskets or seals.

Viton® rubber is another general-purpose material that can be used in many industries. It offers good resistance to petroleum products such as engine oils and fuels such as gasoline or diesel fuel when they’re burned.

Benefits of using Industrial gaskets and seals

1: Reduce maintenance costs: With the use of Industrial gaskets and seals, you will be able to reduce the number of maintenance personnel. This is because they require very little maintenance.

2: Durability: Industrial gaskets and seals are made of high quality materials that are durable. This means that they can withstand harsh conditions without getting damaged.

3: Cost-effective: Using Industrial gaskets and seals is cost-effective, as compared to other methods such as welding. The reason for this is that welding requires a lot of time and money which makes it expensive as well as time consuming.

4: Safety: If proper care is taken while using these seals, then they are safe to use, even with children around them. This makes them ideal for using in homes or offices where there are kids around all the time.
