Inflatable Seals

American Rubber Corp is a leading supplier and manufacturer of Inflatable rubber seals with customizable valve & inlet tube. We provide design consultation and material selection help to our customers including important parameters around inflation height and deflation (relaxed state) gap, as well as pressure, and operating temperature requirements.

  • Non-Reinforced Inflatable Seals
  • Fabric Reinforced Inflatable Seals
  • Custom & Standard Inflatable Seals

Product Description:

Rubber inflatable seals are ubiquotously used across industry to achive optimized and dynamic sealing or grip for hard to seal irregular areas, or misaligned surfaces with gaps in between as well as where repeated and rapid sealing and unsealing is a critical requirement.

Across industries inflatable seals are called different names like pneumatic gaskets or dynamic seals. American Rubber Corp has capability to custom design and manufacture inflatable rubber seals of various profiles either extruded and joined for endless gasket or full mold them in continuous molding and mandrel operations. Inflatable seal geometry, operating conditions, desired pressure, and the method and interface the seal will be installed on are some of most critical aspect of achiving desired sealing quality as well as operating life longetive from these inflatable seals.

We manufacture custom designed reinforced inflatable gaskets depending on requirements and specifications or operating application details provided by our customers. Reinforcement material that we add to inflatable seal depends on desired operating pressure and temperature. We provide choice of polyester, cotton, nylon, nomax, and kevlar reinforcement for our custom manufactured inflatable seals. Futhermore, our inflatable seals are manufactured for radially inward as well as radially outward sealing depending on application requirements.

Type of Inflatable Seals We Manufacture

Footless Seals

Foot less inflatable seals are made without any special geometric features at the bottom of the seals. These types of inflatable seals are installed with either PSA backing or in pre-machined grooves and usually towards lower half of horizontal matting mating surface. Simpler design allows for economical cost of such seals while providing all other benefits of inflatable seals. In certain cases, footless inflatable seals are secured through pressure plate and fastners if required by application.

Applications

Bulk Material Handling

Inflatable seals as well as clamping bladders have wide variety of uses in buld material handling for sealing connection between hopper and containers as well as holding, gripping, clamping and moving containers or transfer trolleys (cars/carts) across plant floor.
