Custom Rubber Molded Panel Grommets
Custom Rubber Corp. can assist with design and/or manufacture of rubber panel grommets in all shapes and sizes. The examples shown here illustrate just some of the configurations of rubber grommets used in sheet metal panels. D-shaped or round holes are stamped in the sheet metal, and the ID hole in the rubber grommet is properly sized to accomodate a wire or water line - the rubber grommet protects the electrical or water supply from chaffing on the sharp edges of the stamped hole in the sheet metal.
Some of the rubber grommets shown have a thin rubber membrane that is slit. This membrane improves the barrier between one side of the wall and the other. The thin rubber membrane conforms to the wire or water line passing through and seals out the dust and debris even better.
Custom Rubber Corp. can design grommets to fit all types of holes in all types of materials. In some cases, the rubber panel grommet has been designed with two pass-through holes for different sized wires. Many of the grommets are slit all the way to the exterior to allow easy assembly - no need to pass the wire or water line through the rubber grommet from beginning to end, the rubber grommet just slips over the wire or water line right at the point of assembly.
There are a number of companies that supply standard rubber grommets for sheet metal applications. Custom Rubber Corp. is available for those customers that have something non-standard about their application. When the wall size is unusual, the hole shape is different, or the wire/water line that passes through is an odd size, call Custom Rubber Corp. for design assistance and manufacturing.
