For 60 years Gallagher Fluid Seals has utilized its engineering and manufacturing expertise to provide the highest-quality standard and custom extruded rubber products to the most exacting tolerances and specifications.
Custom-Fabricated Profiles
Custom-fabricated extrusions can be made into an unlimited combination of shapes, sizes, and profiles. Rubber extrusions can be supplied in either bulk cord-coiled or spooled; or cut to specified lengths, offering an ideal, cost-effective sealing solution for many applications. Other applications include low closure force seals, large diameter profiles that cannot be molded, hollow O-rings, non-standard solid O-rings, and other extruded profiles with large inside diameters.
Standard Profiles
Standard extruded profiles include solid and hollow “O”, “D”, square, U-channel, rectangular, and hollow dart configurations. Extrusions are available in a variety of elastomers including Nitrile, Neoprene, Ethylene Propylene, Viton®, Silicone, and Isoprene. There are many compounds available to meet, or exceed, specialty-grade standards set by UL, ASTM, Military, FDA, USP Class VI, NSF, and other agencies.
Standard and custom extruded profiles can be supplied as:
- Spliced Rings: hollow or solid
- 4-corner PSA-backed spliced “picture frame” gaskets
- Custom-fabricated gaskets
- Cut-to-length product, with the option of PSA backing
Advantages of Extrusions
- No mold flash, pits, voids, or non-fills
- Maximum sealing surface compared to standard o-rings
- Low to no tooling cost
- Less material waste
- Application engineering design assistance
- Speed-to-market and overall design flexibility
- Ease of adjusting closure force by adjustment of cross-section design
Extrusion Profiles
These are just a few standard and custom extrusions Gallagher Fluid Seals can provide for your application. Our engineering staff is available to discuss your application and assist you with selecting a standard profile or in designing a new profile for more demanding requirements.
