Silicone Rubber Parts for Metal Lathes Key benefits Reliable performance across a wide temperature range, minimizing failures in hot or cold operating conditions. Flexible, durable sealing and cushioning that protects lathe components from coolant, chips, and wear. Simple dropin replacement sizes that reduce downtime and maintenance effort. What this product does and why you need it Provides sealing, vibration damping, and protective coverage for components on metal lathes and similar machining equipment. Solves common problems such as leaks, premature wear, and component vibration that cause loss of precision and increased maintenance. Made from silicone rubber to combine heat resistance, lowtemperature flexibility, and resistance to many machining fluids. Important attributes Function: Sealing, cushioning, vibration damping, and protection of moving parts on metal lathes. Compatibility: Intended for use with metal lathes and related turning equipment; suitable wherever a silicone rubber seal, sleeve, or gasket in the specified size range is required. Size/Specification: Available in sizes spanning 2.8 mm to 24.7 mm to match typical lathe component dimensions. Material: Silicone rubber for stable performance across temperature extremes and repeated use. Performance: Rated for continuous operation across the temperature range shown below. Typical applications / use scenarios Replacing worn seals or gaskets around chucks, spindles, or feed shafts to prevent coolant ingress and extend bearing life. Using silicone sleeves or dampeners on tool posts or tailstock interfaces to reduce vibration and improve surface finish. Protecting exposed shafts, bushings, or sensor housings during machining operations where heat and coolant exposure are present. Practical advantages Easy to fit: cuttosize or select the correct specification to match the component. Low maintenance: retains flexibility and sealing capability over repeated temperature cycles. Costeffective: reduces component wear and downtime by protecting critical lathe parts. Specifications Application: Metal Lathes Material: Silicone Rubber Specification: 2.8mm 24.7mm Operating Temperature: 40 +230 If you need specific sizes or quantities for a particular lathe model or component, match the required dimension within the 2.8–24.7 mm range to select the correct part.
