Glossary of Seal &
Rubber Terms
Frequently, the real
importance of seals, particularly in the capital goods sector, only
becomes apparent when they fail to work. No matter what the application,
be it a crane, a freight elevator, a jumbo jet or a hydraulic ram,
downtime for repairs is always costly. In many cases, the cost of the
seal itself can be a difficult pill to swallow, either you have to keep
your own spare parts in stock, or you have to wait for weeks if not
months until the new seal arrives, and that's IF you can find it at all!
This is because seals, until recently, were produced by die cast methods,
and small batch production was simply unprofitable.
With the use of our
specially designed CNC Seal-Jet (also called a Sealjet or Seal Jet) machine, however, we are able to produce
almost
any seal
profile up to
500 mm diameter in a matter of minutes. Our specially developed system
guarantees top quality even for the most complicated profiles. But even
more important than the Seal Jet lathe are the
revolutionary materials
behind our products, a thermoplastic polyurethane which was developed
developed by leading manufactures
in Europe.
Perhaps the
greatest advantage of machined seals and gaskets lies in the speed with
which an order can be filled when time is of the essence. When a worn
out seal puts a customer's equipment out of service, it can cost
thousands of dollars each hour its down. A week could represent a
financial eternity. Infinity Seal is geared to help in emergencies such as
this, and we can provide a replacement seal literally overnight-or even
the same day. You can reach us day or night for emergency service.
