Specialty Gaskets

Modern sealing systems do a lot: They guarantee a reliable seal for various media (oil, coolant, fuels, combustion gas), both from the atmosphere and from the mating components. Furthermore, they act as a power transmission element between engine components while also carrying out vital secondary functions.

To ensure a reliable sealing system, sufficient surface pressure must be available for static flat gaskets in all operating conditions. In the designing process, many factors must be taken into consideration: operating media, fluctuations in temperature and operating pressure, design elements (e.g. bolts and sealing surfaces), the position of the gasket in the system and also the long-term performance of the gasket material.

ElringKlinger has the right specialty gasket (Metaloseal®, elastomer, soft-material) for a multitude of sealing tasks in the powertrain, exhaust system and auxiliaries, for instance compressors or pumps. Material and design are finely tuned to the specific requirements of the application.
