Custom Gaskets

Gaskets are used in many mechanical devices to seal joints between metal surfaces to prevent leaking of fluids or air. Custom gaskets for new products and projects are easy to make at eMachineShop. Gaskets are often made of:

• silicone rubber
• neoprene rubber
• nitrile rubber
  
• gasket paper
• cork
• fiberglass
• plastic polymers

The following processes are commonly used:

• Blanking
• CNC Laser Cutting
• Steel-Rule-Die Blanking is usually the most economical process for custom gaskets when the quantity is moderate to high. For very short runs, custom gaskets are more economical via laser and waterjet.
  
• CNC Waterjet Cutting
  

When designing and ordering custom gaskets through eMachineShop, use the Special Material dialog due to the wide variety of gasket material requirements.
