Rubber Gasket

Common applications and characteristics of rubber gaskets in automobiles:

1. Engine system
·  Valve cover gasket: used to seal the valve cover and prevent oil leakage.
·  Oil pan gasket: installed between the oil pan and the engine block to prevent oil leakage.
·  Inlet and exhaust manifold gasket: used to seal the inlet and exhaust manifolds to prevent gas leakage.

2. Suspension system
·  Shock absorber gasket: used at the connection between the shock absorber and the vehicle body to reduce vibration and noise.
·  Spring washer: installed between the spring and the vehicle body, providing cushioning and shock absorption.

Material of rubber gasket
·  Nitrile rubber (NBR): Good oil resistance, commonly used in engines and transmissions.
·  Silicone rubber (VMQ): resistant to high temperatures, suitable for high temperature environments.
·  Fluororubber (FKM): resistant to high temperatures and chemical corrosion, suitable for harsh environments.
·  Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM): Good weather resistance and aging resistance, suitable for body sealing.

Advantages of rubber gaskets
·  Good sealing: effectively preventing liquid and gas leakage.
·  Shock absorption and noise reduction: reduce vibration and noise, improve comfort.
·  Wear resistance and aging resistance: Extend service life.
·  Strong adaptability: able to maintain performance under different temperatures and chemical environments.
