Aircraft rubber seals widely used in the spaces between mating surfaces on civilian, military and commercial airplanes.
Depending on their specific application, these components can provide:
1. Environmental sealing
2. Fuel and oil resistance
3. Shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (EMI)
4. Noise reduction and vibration damping
5. Barriers against fire or flame
6. High temperature or low temperature resistance
Linde an IATF 16949:2016, IOS 14001:2015 and IOS 9001:2015 certified manufacturer of aviation parts, supplies aircraft rubber seals to manufacturers of jets, turboprops, helicopters, and other types of both manned and unmanned aircraft.
We also provide aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organizations with the replacement parts that they need.
Materials for Aircraft Seals
Most aircraft seals is made from elastomers, rubbery materials that retain their elasticity when stretched. IATD 16949:2016 provides a standard way to classify these compounds and a “common language” for buyers and suppliers to use. Although IATD 16949:2016 was developed for the automotive industry, it’s now used in all industries and on many part drawings.
Aircraft Elastomers and Non-Rubber Materials
Typically, Linde supplies aircraft rubber seals made from these types of elastomers
silicones and fluorosilicones
FKM (Viton®)
neoprene
EPDM
urethanes and polyurethanes
These aren’t the only aircraft materials we work with, however, and we can also supply you with rubber-to-metal bonded assemblies for vibration control or fiber-reinforced (FRP) plastic parts for airframe structures. We also work with thermal or acoustic foams such as polyester, urethane, polyurethane, and melamine, and can fabricate metal components that attach to aircraft seals and gaskets.
Manufacturing for Aircraft Rubber Seals
Linde also helps you to control costs by minimizing waste and maximizing yields. Sometimes, engineers who have not designed aircraft seals or gaskets before may specify dimensional tolerances that are right for metal parts but not for rubber components. Linde can share RMA tolerance tables with you. If you engage us early in your seal design process, we can help you to minimize rework as well.
Water Jet Cutting and Abrasive Water Jet Cutting for Aircraft Rubber Gaskets
Linde uses water jet cutting and abrasive water jet cutting to create parts from sheets, rolls, or extrusions. Water jet cutting is ideal for softer materials and can make chamfers, notches, holes, dovetail cuts, clean edges, and 90° corners. Abrasive water jet cutting is used with harder materials, such as glass, metal, and Kevlar, and with metal-reinforced rubbe
Die Cutting, Molding, and Added-Value Manufacturing
We can supply you with die cut aircraft seals in higher volumes. You can order of all of the aircraft seals and gaskets that you need from us.
Linde’s services also include a choice of gasket bonding processes: hot splicing, vulcanization, cold bonding, and molding. We can also mark your rubber or plastic parts so that they’re easier to identify. If you need thermal, acoustic, or thermal-acoustic insulation instead, we can laminate sheet materials together and then cut these “insulation sandwiches” to specific shapes and sizes.
