The Future of Seals: Identifying and Communicating Levels of Wear
Seals do their jobs tirelessly, usually behind the scenes. Until now, machines mostly had to be dismantled to check the condition of these parts. That’s expected to change: At Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, a cross-disciplinary team is testing seals that identify and communicate their level of wear. They are based on a novel material that functions as a sensor.
It’s time for maintenance at a beverage bottling facility.

Controlling friction using the properties of Teflon® and adjusting the durometer of an energizing elastomer allows us to adjust the load and control the force the seal applies.
Seals are often used as a barrier or exclusion device. When considering a device that becomes sterilized, seals often protect the internal components of that device.
Some systems require adjustment of the mechanism. Friction becomes a factor when making internal adjustments. An O-ring is always the easiest solution

The KLINGER Quantum Lifetime
Do You Experience Problems with Hard or Brittle Gaskets?
High temperature and rubber bonded fiber reinforced gasket materials have always been a sealing challenge. We set new standards with KLINGER®Quantum. Bending tests reveal that KLINGER®Quantum is eight times more flexible when compared to other materials with similar compounds. This means extended lifetime.
KLINGER®Quantum can be used at temperatures higher than any other rubber bonded fiber reinforced
