Silicone rubber components for metal lathes Key benefits temperature resilience: stays stable across a wide temperature range (40 to +230 °C), reducing part failure in hot or cold operating environments. Flexible and durable sealing: silicone rubber maintains elasticity for reliable sealing, vibration damping, and insulation on lathe assemblies. Broad size availability: specifications from 2.8 mm to 24.7 mm make it easy to match common bore, shaft, and gap dimensions without custom tooling. What this product solves Prevents leaks and contamination at joints and rotating interfaces on metal lathes. Reduces wear and noise from metaltometal contact by providing cushioning and damping. Provides thermal and electrical insulation where heat and electrical isolation are required. Key attributes Intended use: Metal lathes and related lathe assemblies. Material: Silicone rubber — flexible, weatherresistant, and compatible with /low temperature cycling. Size range: Specifications available from 2.8 mm to 24.7 mm to fit a variety of shafts, bores, and component clearances. Operating temperature: 40 to +230 °C, suitable for most workshop and industrial lathe conditions. Practical applications Lathe spindle seals and Orings: use to seal coolant, lubricant, and chips from entering bearing housings and spindle cavities. Bushings and cushions: install between rotating parts or tooling mounts to reduce vibration and protect machined surfaces. Insulating sleeves and grommets: protect wiring, sensors, or thermocouples routed near lathe heads that experience temperature swings. Selection tips Match the required inner/outer diameter and crosssection to the specified range (2.8–24.7 mm) for a proper fit. Confirm the operating environment falls within 40 to +230 °C to ensure material performance. For applications involving aggressive chemicals or unusual mechanical loads, verify compatibility before installation. Materials and performance summary Silicone rubber offers stable mechanical properties across the stated temperature range, making these parts reliable for sealing, cushioning, and insulating roles on metal lathes. Sizes from 2.8 mm to 24.7 mm permit straightforward replacement and retrofit without machine modification.
