Technical challenges in components for

Electrical & Electromechanical

In electrical and electromechanical equipment, rubber and silicone are indispensable materials: cable glands and grommets, gaskets for panels and cabinets, insulating bodies for transformers, covers and motor mounts exposed to temperature, ozone, UV and humidity. They demand dielectric insulation, controlled conductivity, dimensional stability and resistance to ageing.

Developed technical solutions

Each solution addresses a specific technical problem, with documented approaches and applications.

Silicone insulating bodies for transformers

Technical specifications

Silicone components for insulation, or polymer combinations for electrical conduction. Protection of transformer elements, exploiting this polymer's high flexibility, thermal stability and resistance to environmental conditions.

Technical challenges

High dielectric strength, dimensional stability and resistance to ageing, ozone, humidity and high temperatures. The silicone must retain its insulating properties during continuous operation.

Applications

Transformers and medium- and high-voltage systems. Electrical distribution equipment and substations, subject to appropriate material specification.

Typical applications

No items found.

Sleeves and tubes

Technical specifications

Silicone (thermal resistance and flexibility) or rubber (mechanical strength), with or without textile reinforcement; various diameters and configurations.

Technical challenges

Protect, insulate and cover cables, connections and components subject to movement, vibration and mechanical and environmental stress; bellows versions accommodate large movements under repeated flexing.

Applications

Wiring harnesses, electric motors, transformers, electrical cabinets, generators and power installations.

Typical applications

No items found.

Profiles and cords

Technical specifications

Silicone or rubber (EPDM, NR), in various profile and cord configurations; custom lengths.

Technical challenges

Seal, protect and insulate electrical equipment over long lengths, preventing the ingress of water, dust and contaminants, under compression, ageing, ozone, humidity and temperature variations.

Applications

Electrical cabinets, transformers, junction boxes, technical enclosures, doors and industrial equipment.

Typical applications

No items found.

Elastic and anti-vibration mounts for electrical and electromechanical equipment

Technical specifications

Natural rubber vulcanised to metal, or silicone; the choice of polymer adjusts stiffness, absorption capacity and durability; custom dimensions.

Technical challenges

Support and isolate electrical equipment, absorbing vibration and reducing the transmission of noise and forces to the structure, under compression, fatigue, dynamic loads and temperature.

Applications

Transformers, motors, generators, compressors, air-conditioning systems and power-generation equipment.

Typical applications

No items found.

Seals and gaskets

Technical specifications

Rubber or silicone gaskets designed to seal electrical equipment, protecting against the ingress of water, moisture, dust and other contaminants. With or without an adhesive face.

Technical challenges

Resistance to compression set, ageing, ozone, temperature, humidity and chemical agents. Silicone offers good thermal stability and weather resistance, while certain rubbers provide greater resistance to oils, fuels or wear, depending on the formulation.

Applications

Transformers, electrical cabinets, junction boxes, technical enclosures, motors, generators and power-distribution equipment.

Typical applications

No items found.

Grommets and cable glands

Technical specifications

Silicone (thermal stability and weather resistance) or rubber/EPDM (mechanical strength and flexibility); male and female versions (Gummitülle type); custom dimensions.

Technical challenges

Route, secure and protect electrical cables with insulation and sealing at entry and exit points, under temperature, humidity, vibration, abrasion and ageing.

Applications

Electrical cabinets, transformers, motors, generators, technical enclosures and power-distribution installations.

Typical applications

No items found.
