Rubber Engineering and Rubber Design Capabilities
Rubber Engineering and Rubber Design Examples: Custom Designed GPS Gasket
The design team for one of the first hand-held GPS units ever developed needed rubber help with engineering and design of their product. They came to rely on Custom Rubber Corp.'s expertise and experience in designing and molding rubber parts. Working with the customer and a plastic molder, Custom Rubber Corp. assisted with the design of this intricate rubber seal that is used to connect the two halves of the plastic shell. The molded rubber seal was designed to keep out dust and debris, while adding a ring of “grip-able” material to the unit to reduce the chances of the user dropping it. In case the GPS unit is dropped, the molded rubber seal allows some give between the two plastic halves. (Continued

After completing the engineering and design phase, the final product was molded with a durable EPDM rubber due to its excellent ozone resistance, and superb sealing characteristics.
If you have an electronic device with a complex design, and you're in need of a molded rubber seal or a protective rubber cover, contact Custom Rubber Corp. today to take advantage of our extensive rubber design and rubber molding expertise.
