In the ever-evolving mobility world, ensuring the integrity of motors for powertrain applications is paramount. Flange seals maintain the efficiency and safety of many automotive applications. Their versatility, stability and superior sealing performance make them an excellent choice for ensuring the integrity of thermal and electrical systems. With its expertise in material development and design, Hutchinson Precision Sealing Systems is committed to providing sealing solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Adaptable, reliable, and easy-to-assemble sealing solution
Hutchinson produces a range of flange seals, also known as press-in-place (PIP) seals, which are static seals with rectangular cross-sections. These seals are crucial components in engines, gearboxes, air intake and thermal management systems, electronic units and oil filtration systems. They provide a robust barrier against dust and fluids, ensuring secure sealing between two housings even under high pressure.
These are tailor-made to adapt to environments with wide variations or tolerances. Meanwhile, they have high stability to ensure integrity under various conditions, providing reliable sealing. Their easy assembly process saves time and reduces potential installation errors while providing exceptional sealing performance to ensure efficient and safe system operation and minimize downtime costs and damage.
Tailored compounds for challenging environments
As an expert in elastomer formulation, Hutchinson develops tailor-made compounds for different conditions, such as exposure to aggressive fluids or heat, to ensure that its flange seals perform optimally in the most challenging environments. Hutchinson Precision Sealing Systems teams and the Research and Innovation Center have recently developed a new material that meets the requirements of UL94, V-0, the most stringent level of fire resistance.
Customized design and validation for optimal sealing performance
Hutchinson’s experts help users define the best-suited design for their specific needs. Using advanced finite element calculations, they can simulate and validate the performance of seals through rigorous functional tests.
Boost the performance and durability of your applications with Hutchinson’s customized flange seals, guaranteeing safe and efficient operation, even in the toughest conditions.
