Custom Rubber Molded Parts for Industrial Machinery Details
FlexiTurn provides custom industrial rubber molding services, combining in-house CNC mold tooling with precision elastomer processing. The black components shown above—stepped flanged bushings, flat sealing rings, and square isolation pads—exemplify our capability to convert your 2D and 3D CAD models into durable, dimensionally consistent rubber parts engineered for shock absorption, mechanical sealing, and vibration isolation.
Material Selection GuideChoosing the right elastomer directly affects part lifespan and performance. Below is a quick reference for commonly molded materials:
| Elastomer | Hardness Range | Temp Range | Oil/Fuel Resistance |
| NBR (Nitrile) | 40–90 Shore A | -30°C to +100°C | Excellent |
| EPDM | 30–80 Shore A | -40°C to +150°C | Poor (water/ozone excellent) |
| FKM (Viton) | 50–90 Shore A | -20°C to +200°C | Excellent |
| Silicone (VMQ) | 20–80 Shore A | -60°C to +230°C | Poor |
| Neoprene (CR) | 40–90 Shore A | -30°C to +120°C | Good |
| Natural Rubber (NR) | 30–80 Shore A | -50°C to +80°C | Poor |
In-House CNC Tooling & Molding Process
CNC Mold Cavity Machining
The dimensional accuracy of molded rubber depends directly on mold tooling precision. FlexiTurn machines steel and aluminum mold cavities, core pins, and inserts in-house using high-speed 3/4/5-axis CNC milling and turning centers, maintaining tight cavity tolerances and smooth surface finishes on complex internal profiles, steps, and radii.
Concentric Core AlignmentPrecision CNC turning of mold cores ensures controlled concentricity between internal mounting bores and external flange surfaces—critical for smooth mechanical sub-assembly and uniform stress distribution in flanged bushings and stepped seals.
Molding Processes
- Compression Molding: Ideal for low-to-medium volumes, thick cross-sections, and large parts
- Rubber Injection Molding: Suitable for high-volume production, tight flash control, and complex geometries
- Transfer Molding: Used for parts with metal inserts or intricate internal features
Optimized mold parting design and controlled post-processing minimize flash on critical sealing surfaces, ensuring flat mating faces and clean internal diameters.
Tolerances & Quality Control
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Molded Feature Tolerance | ±0.1 mm typical (geometry-dependent) |
| Mold Cavity CNC Accuracy | Down to ±0.005 mm |
| Hardness Range | 30–90 Shore A, custom durometers available |
| Surface Finishes | Smooth molded, matte, SPI mold textures, anti-static coatings |
Quality Verification:
- Shore A durometer hardness testing per batch.
- Non-contact optical profile measurement (primary method for soft elastomers).
- 3D CMM inspection for mold tooling and rigid inserts.
- Raw material batch certifications with every shipment.
- RoHS / REACH compliance documentation available upon request.
All processes are controlled under our ISO 9001:2015-aligned quality management system.
