Seals for Motorsport applications

We design and supply seals for applications throughout the whole vehicle; including transmission, braking, cooling, fuel, air and exhaust management, battery, cable and ancillary systems. We offer low quantity custom designed parts with rapid turnaround to meet the challenging demands of our Motorsport customers.

Braking systems
Materials suitable for DOT3, 4 and 5 fluids, seals designed and manufactured to the highest standards to maximise life expectancy of system critical components. Seals can be designed to minimise hysteresis and improve brake feel

Transmission
Rotary seals for high-speed applications manufactured in PTFE and elastomeric materials for next generation fluids. Low friction designs help to allow highest possible performance while maintaining long wear life and prioritising efficiency of the assembly.

Battery & electronics
Innovative dielectric silicone grades for sealing of electric components ensures minimal electrical resistance through sealing areas . A tried and trusted Push-In-Place (PIP) gasket design for effective sealing of housings.

Our engineers use 3D CAD and FEA simulation software to design and replicate seal performance before finalising each seal design; incorporating significant feature and critical function elements for integration with customer mating parts. We offer material development and testing, and a component endurance testing service.

Metal Seals

Metal seals in O-section, C-section and other profiles are used where it is impossible to use polymer seals due to extreme application conditions such as high temperatures or high pressures. Our range of base metals for seal jackets and springs include various grades of stainless steel; 304, 316, 321 and 347, and high strength nickel alloys including Inconel 718, 625, X750 and Hastelloy and Waspaloy. Heat treatments including Work Hardened, Age Hardened, Annealed and Solution and Precipitation heat treatments to NACE-MR-01-075 can be applied. Specialised platings and coatings are available including; Silver, Gold, Copper, Nickel, Indium, Tin, Lead and PTFE.

PTFE Seals

Our PTFE cap seals are available for rod, piston, and rotary applications, and can be manufactured in a variety of virgin or filled PTFE and elastomer material combinations. Standard seal sizes are for installation in grooves to ISO7425-2 and we can manufacture bespoke sizes and profiles ranging from 3mm to 3200 mm in diameter. PTFE seals with helical, cantilever or canted coil spring energisers can be tailored to any existing customer groove geometry and in numerous jacket material and spring material combinations. Alongside PTFE seals, we offer a range of PEEK and UHMWPE seal profiles, and PTFE and PEEK back-up rings in a variety of materials and designs including solid, split and contoured profiles.

O-Rings

Manufactured to international standards; AS568, ISO 3601, DIN 3771 and JIS, with metric and non-standard sizes also available. We supply micro to large diameter O-rings, in low and high volumes. Produced in Nitrile (NBR), Silicone (VMQ), Fluorocarbon (FKM), Fluorosilicone (FVMQ), Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR), Polyurethane (PU), Polyacrylate (ACM) Chloroprene (CR), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Perfluoroelastomers (FFKM), Ethylene Acrylate (AEM), Epichlorohydrin (ECO) elastomers. We can supply O-rings with surface treatments in the form of dry or wet coatings for reducing friction, ease of installation or colour identification.

PIP Gaskets

Precision rubber gaskets and seals, including push-in-place gaskets to address difficult assembly conditions. Designed specifically for each application, our engineers optimise the seal profile geometry using calculations on groove fill, compression and installed squeeze or stretch, combined with non-linear FEA technology to simulate the performance before finalising design. We provide rapid prototyping and 3D printing to meet your test requirements before cutting production tools. Available in all elastomer compounds.

Rotary Seals

Our rotary shaft seals with elastomeric based lips include Nitrile (NBR), Fluorocarbon (FKM), Carboxylated Nitrile (XNBR), Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR), Ethylene Propylene (EPDM), Polyacrylate (ACM), Silicone (VMQ) and Neoprene (CR). For applications with enhanced speed and pressure parameters, we offer either seals with PTFE inlays, or full PTFE lip seals that reduce friction, heat generation and optimise shaft and seal life. With a variety of casing and spring materials available, we offer all variants of elastomer seal, including springless, and also V-Rings for light duty. Our PTFE rotary seals can be metal cased or all PTFE.

Bespoke Mouldings

Precision rubber mouldingsand seals, including push-in-place gaskets to address difficult assembly conditions. Designed specifically for each application, our experienced engineers optimise the seal profile geometry using calculations on groove fill, compression and installed squeeze or stretch, combined with non-linear FEA technology to simulate the performance before finalising the design. We provide rapid prototyping and 3D printing to meet your test requirements before cutting production tools. Available in all elastomer compounds, including grades that meet international standards or customer specifications.
