FAQ about Rubber Seals
Rubber seals for tractors and agricultural machinery are sealing components used to protect against dust, dirt, water, and noise in vehicle cabs, doors, windows, and hoods. They help maintain a clean and quiet operator environment while also protecting machine components from external elements that can cause wear and damage.
The most common types include U-profiles for door edges, D- and P-profiles for sealing around doors and windows, and specialized seals for hoods and panels. EPDM rubber is widely used due to its UV and weather resistance, which is crucial for agricultural machines that operate in harsh outdoor conditions.
The choice of rubber seal depends on its placement and purpose. For exterior applications, weather- and UV-resistant materials like EPDM are preferred. It is also important to ensure that the seal’s profile fits precisely to the area being sealed to provide effective protection against dust and moisture.
