sealing solutions
- February 12, 2021
The manufacturing and installation of specialty seals must be handled in a certain way to ensure their quality and longevity.
The following guidelines and/or rules are the basics for regulating the engineering of seals to ensure top performance.
Performance vs Knowing Your Seals
The performance of your machine(s) depend on the quality of your seal and the conditions they succeed in. They can directly affect how well or how poorly your machines function. By extending the life and care of your seals, you can, in turn, extend the life of your equipment.

Depending on the nature of the part, the first run of prototype parts will be developed for evaluation and testing purposes using a single or low cavity tool. With advances in on-demand manufacturing technology, some seal manufacturers now offer rapid prototyping or “express” services, where prototypes can be machined or 3D printed to exacting specifications. This lowers mold and tooling cost while usually providing a faster turnaround time.
