Rubber Parts

Rubber wheels for high end R/C car
Rubber parts can be molded in a similar way to plastic parts. However the process is quite different. Normally rubber parts are compression molded whereby a chunk of rubber is heated and pressed between two halves of a mold.

Examples

Rubber parts cover a wide range of uses:

  • Tires
  • Pencil erasers
  • Covers for receptacles in electronic devices
  • Non-slip feet for enclosures
  • Keyboard keys
  • Noise reduction devices
  • Weather stripping
  • Grommets
  • Seals
  • Caps
  • Gaskets
  • Grips
  • Rollers
  • Diaphragms

Design tips

Designing rubber parts is as easy as designing parts made of other materials:

  • Keep the shape simple
  • Avoid thick regions that may not cool readily
  • Avoid tight tolerances

Processes

eMachineShop allows you to design custom rubber parts using: Waterjet Cutting ... Compression Molding and Extrusion.

Materials

Some of the common materials used for rubber parts include:

  • Neoprene
  • Nitril
  • Silicon
  • Natural rubber
