Choice of gaskets – what you must think about:
- Create space for mounting the gasket
- How it should be mounted? (PDF)
- How often will the lid/door be open?
- Material in the application, material thickness.
Think about bi-metallic corrosion (PDF).
- Shielding performance
- Cost aspects – Volume production? Small series?
Storage time? Tooling costs?
- Fulfillment of standards
- Environmental requirements, IP Ratings
Hints:
- Have early thoughts about how your product must be shielded. Very often is it late and that creates problems and also more expensive.
- A gasket should be compressed about 30%.
- Use mechanical compression stops.
- Tolerances are different in hard materials comparing with soft.
