Seal, Gasket, and O-Ring Products Offered

Important considerations when choosing a seal

• Is the application a static, non-moving one?
• Is it dynamic, where the seals will be exposed to motion?
• What temperature range will the seal encounter?
• How hard should the seal material be?
• Will the seal come in contact with fluids or foreign media?

	Gasket applications cover a large spectrum of materials ranging from acrylic and aluminum to Viton® and Teflon®. Your gasket manufacturing options are as varied as Die Cutting and Lathe Cutting to Pressure Sensitive Adhesives and Vulcanization. Vedovell has over 40 years of gasket experience, working with the materials listed below for a wide range of applications. We understand the importance of a "proper" gasket and the cost considerations.
	The O-ring is the most widely used seal in the industry. It is easy to install, can be used as a double-acting seal, can seal pressures to over 5,000 psi in static and dynamic applications and is very economical. While simple in concept, the O-ring can be sophisticated in application. The information in this catalogue is intended to give a brief overview of O-ring design and selection.
	Custom Molded parts are very design specific. Whether they are compression, injection or transfer molded, Vedovell has years of experience providing customers with custom molded parts that are unique to their application. Our custom molded part experience incorporates the certification of the material within the confines of each specification, while meeting and overseeing necessary quality reports.
	The use of extruded seals is extremely diverse. You will find extrusions in many types of manufacturing processes for a variety of purposes. Applications include, but are not limited to: door and window seals in the architectural environment and automotive, appliance and aircraft industries; bearing seals; bumpers; heater gaskets; radiator overflow tubing; vacuum cleaner belts; ladder foot grips, and cushions on bars or handles. The applications are endless and expanding rapidly with innovative engineering of extrudable materials.
	Oil Seals are a good resource for any application where foreign media such as oil, grease and dust are concerns. A variety of Lip, Case and Spring materials are available for your review while you make your seal selection.
	Due to the nature of spring energized seal applications, a wide range of available seal jacket and seal spring materials are offered to customers to provide an engineered product that fits with the entire scope of their various applications. Spring energized seals are a last resort for most companies that consider using them in their application. Typically, by the time a company has to resort to the use of a spring energized seal, all other attempts at using more conventional seals have failed. This is exactly why such a wide range of materials for these seals are available; to provide the right combination of materials to completely meet the specifications set by the parameters of an application. This section will touch on seal jacket materials, seal spring materials and describe their use.
	Rubber extrusions may be converted to endless gaskets with a variety of vulcanization methods. Vulcanization is a process which uses heat, rubber adhesive, pressure and time to chemically bond the two ends together. There are a variety of joints which can be bonded. Round cord or irregular profiles may be vulcanized to endless gaskets. Applications such as window frame gaskets, door gaskets, filter housing gaskets and lid gaskets. The uses are as unlimited as your imagination will allow.
