THE RUBBER COMPANY INFLATABLE SEALS
Seal ProfilesThe Rubber Company manufacture and supply a wide variety of inflator seal profiles, which are the perfect solution for use in challenging sealing applications. There are many different applications which can benefit from the use of inflator seals, some common uses include:
Our inflator seals are designed to be inflated with air (or a fluid) using a pressure regulated supply system. When pressure is applied the seal will inflate to create an air and watertight barrier in order to protect against dust and other contaminants on uneven surfaces.Silicone inflator seals provide working temperatures from -60°C to +200°C and even higher for intermittent periods. The expansion (sealing) capabilities of our inflator seals vary from profile to profile. However, the larger the expansion gap the larger the profile.
Large doors with contrasting sealing surfaces, which would struggle to accommodate a conventional seal.Industrial applications that require a seal to quickly seal and unseal.Horizontal and vertical sliding doors.
ClampsAs the name suggests, our inflatable clamps apply controlled pressure uniformly across the length of the profile in order to hold objects in place. We find that these seals are particularly popular for use in cutting and manufacturing applications or to hold pieces together while bonding.
ActuatorsOur inflatable actuators can be combined with more traditional seals or clamps. For example, an inflatable actuator can push a seal made or a harder material to seal against a rotating piece of equipment. Similar to how our infator seals function, an inflatable actuator will allow for a variations in a sealing gap. This can be particularly important for large scale sealing equipment.

SEAL CONFIGURATION
S
www.therubbercompany.com
COMMON INFLATABLE SEAL CONFIGURATIONS
THE RUBBER COMPANY INFLATABLE SEALS
Our inflatable seals can be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit your specific application. We can supply them in continuous loops, which expand radially inwards and outwards as well as axially depending on usage. Inflator seals can also be manufactured into axial expanding rectangles, “U” shapes or other similar shapes using pre-moulded corners.The diagrams below demonstrate the different common seal configurations. The tables below show the minimum bend radii for radial inward, outward and axial expansion.
Radial Outward Radial Inward Axial
In this configuration the profile inflates away from the base of the seal. These profiles can be installed in a number of different objects using clamps, inserted into a machined groove or stretch fitted. Common uses for this configuration includes: airlock door seals and drum or bag filler seals.
Suitable Profile Types:CastellatedFrog-LegFooted SnapStem/Foot LocationChannel Fit
This particular profile configuration is ideal for use in clamping applications as well as shaft maintenance seals and valve seals. These profiles typically provide large inflating distances relative to their size. Frog-Leg profiles are generally not well suited for this configuration.
Suitable Profile Types:CastellatedStem/Foot Location
Axially configured inflator seals are able to inflate in the direction perpendicular to the radius of the seal. This particular configuration is particularly popular for use in door and hatch seal applications.

Aside from joined ends we can also supply our inflator seals in straight lengths. This configuration requires solid, non-expanding zones on each end of the seal. This is followed by a transition area where the seal expansion increases until it reaches its full height.Air connectors may be attached through the base or the end of the seal depending on your application. If pressure plates are used to secure the seal in place then extended non-expanding zones will be required.
STRAIGHT LENGTH & MOULDED CORNER INFLATOR SEALS
Straight Length Inflators
The size of a radius that an inflatable seal can be bent around is entirely dependant on the space of the specific profile. For axially expanding inflatable seals, moulded corners may be used to enable the seal to confirm to tight radii or 90° bends. The table below contains existing moulded corners that can be added to our inflatable seals.Moulded corners for new and existing profiles can be manufactured to the customers’ requirements, subject to minimum order requirements and a tooling charge.

For seals joined into rings the air connector is most commonly joined to the base of the seal. For some castellated, channel fit and foot/stem location inflators, the air connectors may be placed in a side wall. However, this may have an adverse effect on the inflatable seal’s durability and overall life span. For straight length inflator seals, air connectors may be placed in either one end or both ends depending on the customers application or requirement.
