The efficiency and reliability of industrial products are often based on the quality of seals used. That’s why companies from diverse sectors such as automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and many more choose Harkesh Rubber for their custom sealing needs. In this article, we will explore key considerations that can guide you in making an informed choice while choosing quality seals:

Material Options: Different applications require varied materials, and a reputable manufacturer should offer a wide range to meet varying needs. Each material has unique properties, such as resistance to heat, chemicals, abrasion, and flexibility.

At Harkesh Rubber, for example, we offer quality seals made of HNBR, NBR, FKM, Silicone, EPDM, and Neoprene. Our seals are versatile and cost-effective, making them suitable for a broad range of applications.

Customisation Capabilities: Look for manufacturers with robust customisation capabilities. This includes designing seals to fit unique shapes, sizes, and specifications. At Harkesh Rubber, we have experienced engineers who can collaborate with you to understand your application’s intricacies and offer solutions that enhance performance and longevity.

In addition to custom shapes and sizes, we also provide specialised features such as colour coding, branding, or unique markings. Customisation extends beyond the physical attributes of the seal to packaging and labelling, ensuring a seamless integration into your production process.

Quality Assurance and Certifications: Reputable custom sealing manufacturers adhere to stringent quality control measures and hold relevant industry certifications. These certifications serve as indicators of a manufacturer’s commitment to producing high-quality products that meet or exceed industry standards. Harkesh Rubber has ISO 9001-2015 certification, a globally recognised standard for quality management systems, ensuring consistency and traceability in manufacturing processes.

The sealing products used in an application will have a direct impact on its functioning. Hence, choosing the right product is of immense importance. Understanding your application, and machinery will help you choose the right kind of sealing component and material. All the seals manufactured by us can also be provided in custom shapes and sizes according to client requirements. The wide selection of seals and sealing products manufactured by SSP Manufacturing Inc. are developed using a range of technologies and materials.

Types of Sealing Products Available With SSP Manufacturing Inc.

We provide an assortment of seals and sealing components suitable for industrial as well as commercial applications:

1.      Hydraulic & Pneumatic Seals

These seals are used in applications that utilize fluids and/ or gases for transmission, and production of power. Although similar in shape, the materials used for both the purposes are different. The seals used for pneumatic operations are manufactured with rubber. The hydraulic seals are manufactured using urethane and plastic.

2.      Power Transmission Component

Power transmission seals are widely used for several purposes in the different parts of a transmission. They are used for several different purposes including separation of fluids, exclusion of foreign particulates, and many more.

3.      Flange, Fitting & Coupling Components

Couplings are used to join two rotating parts. They can also be manufactured to disconnect the two parts if the torque exceeds beyond a certain level.

4.      Metric Seal

The only difference between these seals and any other type of seal is the size and unit of measurement. These seals are sized to precisely fit European products. This ensures a tighter fit making them more effective.

5.      Pump Components

A variety of components are designed to enable pumps function efficiently.

6.      Compressor Components

Compressors are used for the dual function of transporting fluids as well as pressurizing them.

7.      Rubber Parts

These parts are specifically designed keeping in mind the needs of a variety of industries.

8.      Valve Component

Valves form an integral part of many applications in varied industries. We provide valves in a wide range of materials and technical specifications.

9.      Machine Parts Components

We utilize state-of-the-art technology like CNC and NC machining to produce parts that are extremely precise. These accurately designed parts are used in critical applications and industries.

10.  PTFE Components or TEFLON

PTFE, popularly known as Teflon is an exceptionally strong material that is resistant to corrosion, and abrasion caused by most chemicals. They have a longer service life and provide better functioning as compared to other materials.

11.  Polyurethane Parts

Most polyurethane parts manufactured provide excellent wear resistance. They can be used in applications that function between -210 °C and 120 °C.
