You Need Holes? We’ve Got ‘Em!

Circle with Many Holes 8

We’ve cut several of these gaskets out of 1/8” thick 55 durometer Viton on our water jet machine.  What was the catch?  We had to put 242 holes and ovals into this 14 ¼” diameter piece.

However, it was no issue for our water jet machine and production line!  Our water jet machine can hold tight tolerances and cut a nearly infinite amount of different cutout dimensions and shapes.

If you have any project, regardless of how complicated you think it may be, give Atlantic Gasket a call at 800-229-8881 or 215-533-6400 and ask to speak to a member of our sales team or email us at sales@atlanticgasket.com.

Atlantic Gasket Revamps Site with EMI/RFI Products

SSP-502-30 Roll Material (4)Atlantic Gasket continues to keep up with the growing demands of different markets, and this time, we’ve revamped our website with a new section for EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) shielding materials.  These silicone and fluorosilicone rubbers are filled with a variety of metallic fillers to allow them to be electrically conductive and protect sensitive electronic equipment and other products.  These fillers include Nickel-Aluminum, Nickel-Graphite, Silver-Aluminum, Silver-Copper, Silver-Glass, and Silver-Nickel.

 

 

IMG_5645EMI & RFI shielding gaskets are important in serving a range of industries, such as military, aerospace, automotive, medical, and more.  We can provide silicones and fluorosilicones that meet the MIL-G-83528/MIL-DTL-83528 specification and others that are QPL listed.  Our EMI/RFI materials come in a wide variety of thicknesses, durometers, sheet sizes, rolls, and colors to help suit your needs.  This variety allows us to provide a range of die-cut parts, waterjet-cut parts, stripping, roll goods, sheets, and more.

The EMI/RFI silicones and fluorosilicones not only protect against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference but also the typical environmental factors, such as silicone’s natural resistance to a large temperature range.  For harsh environments with solvents and fuels, fluorosilicone is the answer to your issues.  The combination of the rubber along with the internal metallic fillers allows these EMI/RFI shielding materials to be a fantastic option for protecting sensitive equipment for your next project!

Customer Satisfaction!

20150717_095737Atlantic Gasket prides itself on providing superior service to our extensive customer base. A good example is a recent project for a new customer in need of quick turn-around.

The pictured gasket is made from 1/8” high temperature compressed gasket material, and has a complex shape with 12 cutouts, 53 holes, and a tight tolerance requirement.

Using a customer supplied CAD file, Atlantic had material in stock and furnished a prototype part within 24 hours, requiring no expensive tooling as we utilized our programmable high pressure waterjet cutter which can cut virtually any material to high tolerance.

Upon receiving sample approval, we rapidly cut 25 high quality parts, providing our customer every reason to look to Atlantic for their future gasket requirements!
