Silicone connectors are molded rubber parts that connect the intake pipes and tubes in diesel-powered heavy equipment for agriculture, forestry, construction, and mining. These engine components are also used in emergency vehicles and ground service equipment (GSE).

Silicone connectors, or silicone couplers as they’re also known, are designed to withstand high temperatures and provide the strength and flexibility that’s needed for demanding on-road or off-road applications.

Silicone couplers can also meet specific pressure ratings and industry standards. Typically, they are specified by bend radius and reinforcement and liner materials. They also come in different ply configurations with or without convolutions.

Specialty Silicone Products (SSP) makes EMI gasket materials that you can use instead of CHO-SEAL® materials from Parker Hannifin.

Trim seal measurements let engineers choose the right rubber gaskets for sealing doors and hatches with radiused corners. There are three key measurements to consider.

• Bulb size
• Bend radius
• Trim thickness

Elasto Proxy, a rubber fabricator and distributor, can help you to determine the right trim seal measurements for your application.

Trim seal materials include EPDM, TPE, silicone, and PVC. Typically, these industrial rubber products come in black; however, trim seals in custom colors are also available. Engineers and buyers can also find rubber gasket materials that meet standards and that have specific trim seal measurements.

Trim seals are rubber gaskets that provide sealing and insulation for doors or hatches with rounded corners. They consist of a compressible rubber bulb and a solid retainer, or trim section, that attaches to an edge or flange. When the door or hatch is closed, the trim seal’s bulb compresses. When the door or hatch is open, the bulb returns to its original size and shape.
