Radius of Gyration (ix / iy)

0.03 – 0.12 m, representing the seal’s resistance to bending under applied forces in various directions.

Max. Axial Load (Euler Buckling)

100 – 400 N, defining the axial load capacity before structural buckling occurs under pressure.

Max. Load at Slot (Shear Test)

150 – 500 N, determining the shear strength of the seal at the slot interface under load.

Torsional Constant (J)

1.4 x 10^-6 – 3.8 x 10^-6 m⁴, providing torsional rigidity and resistance to twisting under torque.

Max Torque (Torsional Load Limit)

2.5 – 8.0 Nm, defining the maximum torque the seal can withstand without experiencing deformation.

Elastic Deflection (100 N Load)

1.5 – 5.0 mm, indicating the seal’s ability to elastically deform under specified loads without permanent damage.

Dynamic Load Rating

500 – 2000 N, specifying the seal’s capacity to resist fatigue and wear under dynamic conditions.

Compatibility Tolerance

±0.5 mm, ensuring precise fit with mating surfaces for optimal sealing and functional integrity.

Machining Precision Grade

±0.1 mm tolerance, ensuring high precision for custom cuts and accurate fit in assemblies.

Fatigue Life (Slot Edge)

100,000 – 500,000 cycles, measuring durability and endurance against repeated mechanical stresses over time.

Thermal Expansion (ΔL @ ΔT=50°C)

0.0001 – 0.0003 mm/°C, determining dimensional stability of the seal under varying temperature conditions.

Slot Pull-Out Resistance

30 – 80 N, indicating the force required to pull the seal out of its designated slot.

Max Load Bearing at Corner Joint

150 – 600 N, indicating the seal’s load-bearing capacity at corner joints, ensuring durability.

Technical Advantages

The seal is engineered to reduce noise and vibration by absorbing mechanical impacts between mating surfaces. Its viscoelastic properties help dissipate energy, reducing road noise, wind noise, and vibrations, contributing to a quieter, more comfortable cabin environment. 

The Rubber Edge Seal resists exposure to automotive chemicals like oils, fuels, and coolant fluids. This resistance prevents degradation and ensures the seal maintains its performance, even in contact with harsh substances, reducing the risk of failure and maintaining reliability.
