Metal Lathes — Silicone Rubber Components Material: Silicone rubber Available sizes: 2.8 mm to 24.7 mm Operating temperature range: 40 to +230 °C Why this product matters Reliable performance across wide temperatures: Silicone rubber retains flexibility and sealing function from very low to temperatures, reducing failures in varying environments. Fits common lathe applications: Sizes from 2.8 mm to 24.7 mm cover many shafts, seals, gaskets, or profile needs used on metal lathes and related tooling. Protects moving parts and improves uptime: Silicone components help reduce wear, damp vibration, and maintain seals, lowering maintenance frequency and downtime. Key features and attributes Function: Designed as silicone rubber components for use with metal lathes — suitable for sealing, cushioning, damping, and protective covers. Compatibility: Intended for integration into lathe spindles, chucks, leadscrews, bearings housings, and other lathe interfaces where silicone parts are appropriate. Size range: Precise sizing from 2.8 mm to 24.7 mm to match common shaft diameters and part profiles. Material properties: Silicone rubber provides flexibility, compression recovery, and stable performance over the stated temperature range. Operating performance: Rated for continuous operation between 40 and +230 °C, supporting both coldstart and temperature cutting conditions. Typical use scenarios Shaft seals and Orings on lathe spindles: Use correctly sized silicone seals to prevent coolant and debris ingress while maintaining rotational tolerance. Vibration damping and cushioning: Install silicone dampers or pads between housings and fixtures to reduce vibration transfer during turning operations. Protective boots and covers for moving elements: Fit silicone boots over leadscrews, slides, or sensor housings to shield components from chips, coolant, and mechanical wear. Installation and selection tips Match the component size to the shaft or groove diameter within the 2.8–24.7 mm range for proper fit and function. Verify the part geometry and compression requirements for the intended sealing or damping application. Consider the operating temperature extremes of your process; this silicone product functions across 40 to +230 °C. Materials and safety notes Composed of silicone rubber as specified.
