Integral Seals

 An integral seal lends itself to space constrained applications where overall seal thickness may be of primary concern. Integral Seals can be manufactured in thickness as low as 0.012 (zero point zero one two) inches. These seals design also lends itself to high volume manufacturing methods making it a cost competitive option for high volume sealing applications. The rubber sealing element is molded, and mechanically or chemically, bonded in place to the edge of the retainer.

There are many benefits of these seals and one of them are that the sealing element is precisely and permanently molded in place, allowing for ease of assembly. Secondary machining in mating hardware is not required to reduce hardware costs.

These seals can be visually inspected to verify proper assembly.The integral seal concept offers the ultimate in quality assurance and joint integrity. The rubber can be molded into the bolt holes for positive pre assembly gripping and transporting. The integral seal can be retrofitted to existing O ring grooves or counterbores or it can be adapted to grooveless mating surfaces. The integral seal permits reduced flange thickness, smaller bolts and bolt circle. The force required to load the Integral Seal metal to metal can be predetermined with closely controlled crown height and FEA. When using these seals, no retorquing required due to metal to metal contact. The load path is established through the metal retainer assuring positive closure and optimum bolt loading.

The outstanding advantage of this innovation, integral seal over previous technologies is that the individual functions of this assembly, such as sealing function or deformation behavior, can be checked accurately. Because the seal is integrated at a very early stage of the value stream, the costs associated with rejects are minimized and output is optimized.
